About 3 weeks in with the band and I’m really enjoying the data tracking. Have the band with a Fenix 6 and the ability to choose primary and secondary is a bonus. Data tracking across both is seamless and battery life is perfect. Coming from a whoop, I expected nothing less in terms of quality and battery life.
I am a through and through Garmin fan and love my Forerunner 165. I bought this band for when I occasionally wear a nice watch for work.
I was disappointed in this for a few reasons.
1. The sensor itself is uncomfortable. It is thick and the materials used feel cheap compared to my Forerunner.
2. There is not compatibility with wearing on your leg. Which is the real reason I considered buying.
3. The Bluetooth feature cannot be turned off. This may not be a problem for most people, but for me it was unfortunate.
4. There is only one button on the sensor which makes it wildly confusing to use. If you’re buying this to get away for screens or use for daily activities, I would consider something else.
Is a solid device that allows me to track health data when not wearing my smartwatch and integrates seamlessly into Garmin Connect. Happy with the battery life that’s greater than 10 days and is not that noticeable on the wrist. Throughout the day, heart rate seems pretty accurate and is quick to respond to fluctuations, but have not used it when actually working out (wear smartwatch for that. Some improvements would be I would like the updated ELEVATE heart rate sensor to acquire EKGs as well as improve heart rate tracking accuracy; I would also like to see a smaller case since it is larger than its competitors. Overall, I think is a great option for those looking for a screenless health tracking wearable.
It’s too thick and big. And after wearing it for weeks, most of the heart rate and sleep data are not showing as it stops tracking for hours and hours while sleeping. Also it loses Bluetooth connection when you broadcast the heart rate so overall it’s very inaccurate and def not worth the price point.
I have several Garmin devices, to include a Tactix watch. I was looking for a way to still collect my metrics, and not carry around a giant hockey puck that kept distracting me, and let me wear normal watches again. This is that device! I love how it integrates with the Garmin ecosystem, without having to add yet another account, or pay a subscription fee, so I can continue to track my data.
I’ve been using this product for two months now, and I’m thoroughly dissatisfied with its accuracy. It misinterprets watching TV as sleeping and doesn’t accurately record sleep duration, missing out on important sleep time. Additionally, it registers traffic jams as walking, and its GPS accuracy is severely lacking, often deviating by over 25 meters. The step counting feature is also unreliable, as it counts steps even while sleeping. To add to the frustration, the app occasionally loses all data for an entire day.
On a personal note, I wear this smart device on one wrist while my mechanical watch is worn on the other. It looks like a bulky, cheap piece of plastic rather than a fashionable accessory designed to monitor health. Overall, I’ve decided to discard this product as a waste of money.
I wish I could see my position on the iPhone map while I'm doing exercise outdoors. It would be good if you could see all the information while you're exercising. It only gives you a couple of measurements.
