Complicated

The watch is fantastic but there are so many features it's very difficult to navigate and Garmin does not provide a user manual. So you are on your own to learn how to use all of the features.

Awesome watch!

This is an absolutely awesome watch! However it still has several bugs, and probably for some people is overpriced. I had a high-end competitor's smart watch that accomplished three quarters of the amount that this watch is capable of doing, but was significantly less money. What this watch does extremely well and puts it way above its competitors, is its superior battery life and the ability to track in depth metrics on every sport imaginable for the sporting enthusiast. The high-end competitors watches cannot do either of those in my opinion. Some of the flaws with the watch include intermittent functionality bugs and glitches that require resets, not all metrics counting correctly intermittently, and an absolutely horrible speaker and volume level, though the microphone seems to work well when I use it for phone calls. You also cannot just click on a contact and text them directly unless you use messenger in which case your contact has to have messenger installed on their device. There is a way to initiate a text using your voice using phone assistant connected through your phone, but it is somewhat convoluted and does not always work correctly because the watch will lose the phone assistant connection with your phone frequently even if you've gone through the laborious steps to set it up correctly. My watch has the titanium bezel and it is prone to scratching, but then again this is a sports watch and is meant for being active. None of the flaws are deal breakers for owning this watch, however once again it is pretty pricey. It is still heads and tails above its competitors for battery life and tracking all in depth sporting metrics. I have to admit I absolutely love this watch!
