Disappointed

I bought this Garmin as a backup. Unfortunately, there are many issues with that one of them with their buttons in particular, I found them very difficult to hold down to program my runs, hikes and overall workouts. I’ve returned the watch. I’ve owned Garmin products in the past. Still think Garmin is the best product on the market when it comes to accuracy specifically with running and tracking long distance. This one did not own up to my expectations.

Time to be a great runner?

I didn't buy this to be a great runner. I don't run; haven't run since high school. I use it to count steps, my heart rate and my activity minutes. I buy Garmin because they can go in the water. I like to do water activities. How about adjusting your products for someone like me who isn't as active but would still like to track what they do?

Yes!

I love it for the step count and tracking my workouts! I have noticed the heart rate can be a little erratic at times. For example when I'm walking it will be reading really low. I also have noticed for sleep it records almost no REM sleep. Overall though it is great! It helps me stay motivated and push myself more to stay healthy.

A basic running watch - I still recommend for newer runners.

Initially had some issues with recording, the distance calculations were pretty far off two other running/gps watches. After a couple of resets it was performing better, but it was annoying that it didn't work after the first initial setup. Overall this is a decent introductory running watch that doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the fancier ones. Obvious statement I'm making here but at it's price point it does have the benefit of recording activity that just wasn't readily available 20 years ago.

Great watch until the battery starts failing.

This is a great watch until after about a year and a half, the watch would not hold the charge and as time is goes on, the battery runs out quicker and quicker. From holding a charge for approximately 10 days to two weeks when first purchased, the watch now hold a charge for about four days. Not happy with this feature at all. Otherwise the watch function is beautifully.

LOVE

I think that this watch is great for beginners and has a lot of great features that are easy to work. I do wish that the sleep setting was better when you could turn it on when you take a nap or go to bed earlier or later than your set sleep time. I think that would be more accurate.

Better than Apple Watch

So far so good. I bought this to replace my Apple Watch series 10 and so far like the Garmin much better!

The watch is smaller than I thought it would be in person. The construction of it does not seem as durable either, but the price was right.
