Perfect balance

I love this watch. It has all of the features that I want and none of the unnecessary things that I don't.
I love the tide feature on the main screen and the fitness apps are a great motivator to keep moving.
The wave counting app is fun, but ultimately I don't use it very often because the information seems less than compelling. But for other fitness activities, it's very motivating. I love all of the information that it gives me and it keeps me active.

Garmin sent me a lemon, the battery would not hold a charge. Surfline widget did not work at all on the watch. Ended up returning and bought an ultra 2 which I am enjoying. The watch does not actually track your surfing because the algorithm isn’t any good. It kept saying I was surfing when I was paddling out and max speed was all over the place.

I bought my Garmin about two Monthes ago. I had a bit of a learning curve, but now it is part of my daily life. I particularly like the tide information. Also the Garmin connect app is a great way to review my swims and evaluate my progress. The length of the battery life and its re-charge speed are impressive. There are still plenty of features that I am not taking advantage of yet….all in good time.

surf data disappointing
on April 18, 2024
Posted by: Mark :(
My wife gave me this watch as a birthday present to track my surfing activities. Having used it over the past few months I have been disappointed with the surf functions in the watch and the inaccurate readings. One of my first surfs came out with a wave speed of 86Km/h, I would say a normal wave speed would be around 26Km/h. I have found it to be average at best for surfing (which it is sold as) and often not able to distinguish between paddling and surfing especially when paddling out after a wave resulting in false readings. :(
