Notifications dont work

Was great when I first got it, then stopped receiving notifications on the watch. Tried everything suggested to get notifications to come through. No success. Will probably have to purchase a new watch - wont be Garmin

Great battery

The battery life is so fantastic. I has a model 3 and upgraded a bit which made a huge difference. Pleased with some of the metrics it keeps. I'm by no means super active but I am working on becoming more so. This is the encouragement I needed.

Love it!

My daughter got me this for Christmas, I had a Garmin that is solar powered. I liked it but this one is so much better!!it does so many more things and is easier to read while running.

Ehh it’s alright

I bought my garmin to replace my Apple Watch. There’s no easy way to make it easy to start a workout. There’s no timer option. I do like the battery life

Well equipped

Great size. Beautiful colors on the watch screen and the ap. Full of great features. Great tracking and maps. I am completely satisfied with the ability of the watch. Compliments to the chef(s)! I am coming from the Fitbit world. A great step up!!

Does the job

I replaced a Fitbit that over time the display became unreadable. The Garman is much easier to read. The Garmin menu system is not great to navigate. I am satisfied but not enthusiastic about the watch.

Somewhat disappointing

I wanted something I did not have to charge daily and this fits the bill. Overall its a good watch, however it connects and disconnects constantly and I can not connect at the distance it said I could. That is very disappointing and obnoxious

Significant Upgrade to my VA3

I'm happy with my purchase at the sale price I paid. It seems to be more accurate than the watch it replaced and includes a number of new features to justify the upgrade. Battery life for me is 7 days.

Great features

I bought this a month ago to replace my Apple Watch, I love it. The only downside I have is the frequent disconnect from my phone even when it is right in my pocket

Great Health Features

Love the health features…heart rate, body battery, sleep analytics, steps, calories burned, pulse Ox, etc. the only issue is that I cannot get it to connect to Face It.
