I bought this watch last then a month ago and very happy that I did . It has all my water sport activates that I love to do. At first it was hard to navigate threw the steps in the instruction, but somehow I manage to get threw it . Awesome watch with so many features on it.

Some good features; not accurate

Excellent for running, not good enough for surfing. The wave count is quite inaccurate and there is no wave count while surfing. You just can check the wave count after the activities are finished.

Love the watch, sometimes the tide feature works, sometimes not. For fishing same thing. Works good for surfing and running.

Complicated to use. Not intuitive
on March 23, 2023
Posted by: YazMtk
I needed a watch to monitor my heart rate during exercise and surfing. I bought this over an Apple watch for the surf feature . It is highly rated as a sport watch and rather pricey . I am usually good at figuring out tech stuff but this watch is very frustrating to use. I was going to return it but I figured it was worth spending the time to learn its functions. You tube instructional videos helped. Owners manual literally makes no sense explaining certain functions. I subscribed to Surfline to make it a surf watch but decided after a week to cancel that. I like other surf report apps better. So after a month I’m using it to tell time and watch my heart rate during exercise. I finally starting to understand how to use some functions to time my hikes and distance hiked. I’m going on a surf trip so maybe that data after surf will be worth having. The app added on phone does not do much. So end of day I could have bought a simpler watch for less money but I’ll try to make it work for me.
My garmin fish finder on my boat is also not user friendly and I don’t use a lot of the functions on that either.

Terrific sports tracking
on November 15, 2023
Posted by: Tduff
I bought this watch about a month ago because my fitbit versa 2 finally stopped working. I was looking for a watch that could track multiple sports that I do and are interested in doing. I also wanted a watch for the water. So far this Garmin has been terrific and I can sync it up with the MYFitnessPal app for tracking food and water. I'm now researching a watch for my wife.

It draws attention to the color scheme, is a great product, and even works on the golf course. Very happy with my first Garmin watch.
