Every Feature I Need & More

This garmin finally has voice control to answer calls on the watch (and respond to texts). Not necessarily a deal breaker but I'm glad Garmin finally did it! The best part is the vibrant display that is super easy to read! I'm loving all the "advice" throughout the day. Get up and move, rest (lol), etc. It's also a very pretty watch compared to my old 945. All in all I am so glad I went for it!!

Love it but

The only down fall that I have found so far is that I can't connect it to my phone carriers network (Verizon). Also that I can't be more then 30 ft from my phone to get calls and texts. I'm a very busy and don't want to carry my phone everywhere I go.

WOW! buy apple watch hello charge for days garmin!

I bought this watch just so I can actually monitor my sleep and not worry about charging it throughout the night! This watch ‘yells’ at me to get up a move which is funny and does help even though I sit at work and get up whenever I have a patient(phlebotomist). I unfortunately had to buy a new bad because I think i’m allergic to it same as the apple ones. there’s so many things I haven’t used yet for this watch. that i’m excited for. like to get back into my swimming, trying to start back running, just move my body in general. the price isn’t bad either especially since I bought it on sale. the size is perfect, I do wish we had more customization for the watch faces and that they didn’t cost money too. other than that I wish I can make a widget for the garmin sucks I can’t do that. sometimes the pairing cuts off too but not that often. however the find my phone doesn’t always work when I need it.

Very compatible with iPhone

I got this watch for Christmas because I wanted a fitness watch that would track my calories for my calorie deficit. It performs perfectly. It shows me all of my notifications, and I can answer calls on it. I can preview messages and all. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the battery life.. Not to be confused, the battery life is still much better than my Apple Watch was, but I do have to charge it about every three days. I’m sure I could remove certain features to preserve the charge between recharges but this is just my experience with the basic setup. This watch is a very nice upgrade from my Apple watch and gives me great results. I’m greatly pleased with this watch.

Pretty watch!

I've had this for almost a month now and am liking it. I can't give it a full 5 star review because the voice assistant and some other features don't work, no matter how much I try. I contacted support to get some assistance and the guy was less than helpful and sent me a link to a web page I had already found and tried. It's not a deal breaker, but I did use voice to text quite a lot on my previous watch when I was working out or at work so that I didn't have to pull out my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy s24. Other than that, a very pretty watch with some other really great fitness and wellness tracking features and a great battery life.

Wish I got it sooner!

I’ve been using the watch for a few weeks now and love it. I wish I would have gotten it sooner. I was mostly interested in my sleep but it offers ALOT of insights in overall health with details and recommendations. I just recently started using a running plan and love it so far. I’m still getting used to the bells and whistles (coming from ten years of using an Apple Watch) but glad I made the switch!

More accurate than Apple Watch

I love my Garmin. My husband bought one and just loved his so much he bought me one. I was a little against it at first because I’ve had an Apple Watch for so long. I’ve been using the Garmin for a few weeks now and I wish I would have switched sooner. So easy to use, more accurate and the design is so much better than Apple. Buy one….its awesome.

This watch feels like the Apple Watches big brother. I've been an Apple Watch owner since they came out but switched to Garmin for the longer battery life and cleaner look. The design of the watch is much more professional than many other smart watches on the market. The side buttons do take a few days to get used to, but after that it becomes second nature to efficiently control the watch. If you're looking for a smart watch upgrade, this is the one for you!

Perfect smart watch

Bought this a month ago after years of an Apple Watch. I love the style and the easy readability of the face watch. The stats are helpful. It’s easy to use for running and general workout ms for fitness tracking. It has more than I need but not too much that I can’t navigate it. And the battery lasts a week!!!

not so happy

I purchased the device which is not cheap at all. It’s a pity that there isn’t an automatic sync for contacts like there used to be in an old device I had. Also, it is still not possible to initiate viewing messages and/or sending messages from the watch to the mobile device.
