It’s more than I imagined it would be!

My son bought this for me as a birthday gift to replace my other fitness watch a month ago. I am simply floored as to just how much better this watch is. I’m still discovering the all the features and settings. It is very rugged and can withstand all my activities, which is something my previous watch was not.
I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially someone who is into monitoring the status of their body and outdoor activities.

I bought it a few weeks ago, I had been without one for many years.
I have learned to use and rely upon it. I can’t imagine how I did without it, simple to understand and easy to read even with older eyes

I haven't had it for too long, but I love the features. It tracks all the information that I need, and the light feature is next-level. Great Product.

I purchased this to track my activities and sleep. Having so much info at a glance of the watch face is a welcome sight. I am able to get every piece of info on there and the color customization is icing on the cake. Plus a 24 day battery is a major bonus.

Great smart watch with awesome battery life! As a hunter and competitive shooter, the built in ballistics app allows fast access to data when you need it in the field. The flashlight is always available when you need a fast, handsfree illumination!

Rugged watch

It’s a solid watch, but not at all user friendly. No touch screen makes it even harder to navigate >
Response from GarminBy Garmin, Care, October 16, 2025
