I needed a replacement for a Fitbit Versa 2. I had looked at Garmin in the past, but wasn't ready to buy a new watch. I bought this watch and will never go back to fitbit or any other smart watch. I haven't taken advantage of all the features, but so far it has exceeded my expectations! I have recommended it to friends and family.

I have had this a month now and it has been the best smartwatch I have had. I use to have Apple Watches and this is a huge improvement in comfort, fit, and health tracking. Plus it’s cheaper than all the watches minus the SE. I was really considering getting another Apple Watch but I mainly wanted a watch for health and sleep tracking. So it was between this and Oura. I can’t do the Oura because of my work. This has been way better in every way than I thought it would be. My only complaint is the casing of the watch is easily damaged. So if that bothers you I would get a cover.

I was very excited about this watch I ordered and it worked great for the first couple of weeks. Unfortunately, without any adjustments on my side, the watch battery stopped holding a charge for more than a few hours before going completely dead. I will be looking at an alternative brand going forward.

I love this watch with two exceptions. My vivoactive 4s had me sleeping like a champ. My new watch has me sleeping poorly (non restorative). I have taken naps for years, so thought the nap function would be best, but it is totally inaccurate. I round delete the functions if I could. Other than that I like the watch

Got this for Christmas to replace my Garmin instinct to us that just looked a little too manly on me. Love the look, love the screen. Little disappointed that it can’t tell me my training readiness or training status. Not sure I would’ve gotten it if I had noticed that.

I was given this watch as a gift. I enjoy the longer battery life! Being a lightweight watch is a plus. There are still many features I have not figured out because they take three or four steps to open...this is "hard" to learn. When a message comes in to my phone and pops up on the watch, it is there for 1/2 a second and then gone...again a few steps to open it up and a bit complicated. Not sure I would recommend this watch, but I am not throwing it out just yet.

I moved to the vivoactive 5, as I was having issues with my older vivoactive 4 (battery life, inaccurate heart rate readings. Battery life in the 5 is much better. However the heart rate monitor is still severely inaccurate. I'm getting credit for "intensity minutes" with high heart rate reading, when in fact my heart rate is quite normal. It's reading 115+ when in fact it's barely in the 70's ( confirmed with my Kardia Care ekg device. Also with the Vivoactive 4, I could get to the stop watch with one swipe. Now it seems I have to scroll to find the stop watch (unless I'm missing something). Waiting to use the golf app in the spring, hoping it is as good, if not better than the vivoactive 4.

I had an Apple Watch prior to my Garmin and even after a week I could tell I would never switch back to Apple. The Garmin is a much better watch for half the price and has so many cool features. I like how in depth the health info is and how the watch can coach you into a better lifestyle. Absolutely worth the investment!

I think this is my 4th Garmin and I love this one the best. They continue to refine the coaching helps, the brightness of the display is second to none (which I am thankful for as I get older), it’s the lightest one I’ve had so I don’t mind wearing it while I sleep so I can track sleep trends and it’s not as expensive as some of the other models. I use it primarily for running, golf and walking.

I was given my watch as a Mother's day gift. I love each morning I receive a health and sleep repot. This watch tells you to rest, how much sleep is needed to reset your body! Love the option to workout with trainers on the app. I am still learning and am excited to see what else it does!
