Very Small Watch Face
on April 7, 2024
Posted by: TLew
I'm sad to say that I don't enjoy this watch very much. It is so much smaller than my Forerunner and I wish I stuck with that model. It's hard to read anything without my glasses on and I do not run or bike with them. I also don't think that the actions you commonly take (e.g., changing activites) are intuitive on this watch.

I love my watch. Very comfortable and nice that it fits my small wrist. Still have a learning curve for all the options.

I love everything about this device! Immediately it accurately calculated my miles and my swim laps. I love all the data it collects and the way it presents it. It’s great!

I’ve been wearing the forerunner for two weeks and I love all the data it gives. Far superior to other smart watches

Could be better

I love the color. It’s great for running but having to add cycling and walking was a bit difficult to set up. I still can’t figure out how to add a HIIT class.

Awesome watch!
on March 4, 2024

This watch is so versatile! I love how I can track all of my activities (hiking, xc skiing, soccer, indoor cycling, etc) on it! It also tells me how to best train everyday depending on how much exercise I did the day before, how much sleep I got, and other aspects. This watch is definitely great for anyone who is active and wants to get a better idea of how to increase or maintain their fitness level!

Small form means small screen, of course
on February 21, 2024
Posted by: Sean Z
The small size is perfect for me: a small adult who wears Men's XS and boys XL depending on the maker. However, my older eyes have a hard time reading the small data fields in the pool and in the dark. With the smaller form factor is the trade-off of a smaller screen. My next Garmin watch will be full size as I get into my 50's!
