Full of bugs
on September 21, 2024
Posted by: Artem Pankratov
The watch is buggy even with the latest bugfixes. Haptic feedback doesn't work at some apps, crashed a few times already, the battery shows hours of unmeasured results, youtube music is unavailable. Will wait a week and return the watch if I won't see any progress.

Great, but not universal

Frustrating that Garmin pay only works with banks with which Garmin has a commercial agreement (poor coverage in France). Shame that ECG function is not globally available either. Please Garmin - now that the technology is complete - make it available everywhere... or else discount the price.

So far so good. As advertised. Looking forward to using the ski trail maps and doing some mountain bike trails this summer with it.

New Journey Ahead
on February 5, 2025
Posted by: Dusten B
After spending 20 years using another brand known as the Gold Standard, I decided to take a leap and change. So far I am glad I did. The tech seems twice as advanced and the quality feels better. As a multi sport athlete, one of my sports is Swimming and tracking distance is a must to prevent over training, and this was about spot on.

Amazing Watch!!
on February 9, 2025
Posted by: Mike R
The perfect watch for everything you could possibly imagine. It never leaves my watch. Battery life is exceptional, with extremely fast charging. Large, vibrant and clear screen can be seen in all light conditions. Tracks everything: sleep, workouts, runs and everyday health. I reccomend this to anyone from all spectrums of fitness levels. Can be used as a great motivator as it cues you to be more active or when you need to rest.

Great upgrade
on February 18, 2025
Posted by: Neil C
I upgraded from my Fenix 6 pro solar, and love some of the new features and the AMOLED screen is great. I haven't had any issues yet, but it's a noticeable change in battery life, which I was aware of going on, but underestimated how much I would think about it. It's a great watch but I might recommend the solar/mips option over AMOLED if you are debating between them like I was,

Worth the upgrade

Garmin has really got a great watch here and I am so happy I got one.
I love the sensors and notice a difference when it's reading my HR or OX or counting my reps; though it's not perfect, it allows you to manually input your reps if it missed counting any.
I love the water ejection feature, so when I'm playing music using the built-in speaker and I got under water; I use this feature to. lear out the water and get the sound quality back.
I can use the my wallet whenever the tap is used in stores.
I love the flashlight that's adjustable and has a red light (this is great when I'm navigating around my bedroom and don't want to wake my wife with a bright light).
The touch screen is great, but it's struggled a little when I'm using gloves.
Press and hold the top left button to activate the voice command or "Listening" feature and be specific with what you're trying to access. If you've seen how it's worded on the watch and you want to short-cut getting there, then use the word or title when using the voice command or "listening".
I use this wat h everyday and it gives me good feedback on how I'm sleeping and the quality of sleep; and it gives suggestions on my "body battery," which I've felt is pretty accurate. When I don't feel rested my watch also agrees and shows me a graph or some numbers on where I'm at physically and if I should workout/ train or recover for the day.
one issue I've had are my headphone don't like to connect to my watch. My headphone connect to everything else with ease, but not this watch. My guess is this is the Bluetooth feature not working very well.
Overall, I'm super happy with Garmin and my new watch.
