Not so good, but it's possible to fix it
on February 17, 2023
Posted by: VeryBadProgrammer
Good: works as expected. Have good heart controll(not always alarm about high value). Have hot keys. Have app.
Bad: sometimes time of minutes doesn't update well and when it should switch from 51 to 52 it stop on 51 and 52 time together. It will be good to add to hotkey 'notification' tab. Sometimes it disconnected with phone even if autostart is on. Also it connected only when I start app.

I had a problem with the first watch I got. But garmin replaced it for me. But about the watch, it's an amazing device for running, skiing, snowboarding and other activities.

This Is A great Watch!

I have a video review but I failed to mention that the battery life is good. It's the perfect watch if you don't want or need all the bells and whistles. It has exactly what I want. I have had so much fun with this watch and with the Connect App. Another cool thing is you can add this watch to the Strava app and it will send all information from your watch to the app. Just discovered that today.

intuitive with great battery, I can get the 4 hole buckled and just fits without being an oversized watch face, just wish the strap was longer

Disappointing Gift
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Athletic Dad
This watch has a horrible interface and it is difficult to use. Minature font and error messages when trying to connect to GPS. Heart Rate not accurate during indoor rowing.
Rec'd as a gift....I'm trying to like it but the display is just too small and I'm basically not using most features because it becomes frustrating to use during exercise when I don't wear reading glasses.

Extremely Useful
on January 13, 2023
Posted by: Mechanical Watchfan
I mountain bike, road bike, gravel ride, fly fish, swim and compete in the occasional triathlon. This watch can keep up with all my day to day activities and track the random fitness things I do in my life. It is great. I clicked "Good" because I wish it didn't look like a watch.
I am a giant fan of mechanical watches. Wearing 2 watches makes me look like a tool. If they put this same functionality into something that didn't scream watch, I'd be in line for them to take my money.

Love all the features.

I love all the features on this watch and the ease of it mapping for me. My only complaint would be how easy it is to push the buttons when I am working with my hands (think chopping firewood).
