No face color

I like many features, but did not realize there was no option for a watch face with color on this model. Would not have purchased it, if I had realized this. Would prefer a clock face with color to show progress toward goals. I would give it 5 stars if it had this option.

An awesome wearable for any athlete
on June 17, 2024
Posted by: Euthie
I’m a 57-year-old male had a very High level of fitness.
I recently transitioned from the Fitbit charge five to the 2S.
As a cyclist, I ride almost 3000 miles a year outdoors and another 3500 indoors.. Putting most of the wear and tear on my Garmin head units.
But now with this watch, I’m doing some of the rides with just watch… And unexpectedly it is not a major inconvenience to forget my chest strap for heart rate. The wrist and the chest strap correlate well enough through zone four.
Now on my rest days… I can ride 10 to 15 miles to a pool swim for an hour and a half and then ride back another 10 to 15 miles… And not worry about my head unit or my chest strap!
Not to mention that I was so frustrated with my Fitbit charge five that I told friends and relatives …it wasn’t fit for a child let alone an athlete. The GPS is on par with my Edge 1030! And for those days, when capturing your ride is imperative… It’s a comforting, feeling to know that my watch is monitoring my chest strap as well! It synchronizes very quickly with all of my sensors on my bikes.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback and thank you very much for an awesome product!

Never buying another watch!
on June 13, 2024
Posted by: lux02
My boyfriend and I both bought our first Garmin watches a month ago and I don't think we would ever dream of going back to another watch. These watches are the full package. Great features, we love the body battery/sleep score, etc. It really aids in both our active lifestyles!

I brought the watch 2 months ago and love it. But confusing how to set the program up. Still learning about the features.

Je ne donne pas 5 du fait que pour la navigation, retour, pas très précis. Pour le reste, solidité, fonctionnement, super !

Great Product

Posted by: Satisfied customer 2024
Loving that it tracks my heart rate during my workouts and steps. There’s much more that I could do with this watch, but I don’t need to and it’s easy to operate.
