I got this watch for Christmas and the first one I got would not stay connected to my phone so had to send it back and get a new one but haven't had a problem since

Very Easy To Use

I have had this for a few weeks and I really like it. I am an older runner and sometimes have a little trouble with some of the newer technology but this seems really easy to understand. It is easy to see when I’m running and that is huge for me. Overall I think it is the best running watch I have ever owned. Thanks Garmin

Good watch, but I haven't figured out how to get it back to the watch when navigating other areas.

Happy with the ability add workouts for cardio, yoga, Pilates etc. I’m less impressed with what seems too much complexity. I’ve had it two weeks and still have to google how to change data screens, how to use the Intervals function, how to get rid of pulse/ox…

One screen will tell me I slept poorly and the next screen tells me I’m well rested and ready to go.
I do like that the screen goes black but often it won’t come on when I turn my wrist. I have to touch it or wait a few seconds. Sometimes you need a quick glance at the time.
Also I ordered the no music watch and they sent the music one. I’ve been a runner 35 years and never felt the need to listen to music while running.
