Amazing Garmin Watch

Long lasting charge. Lots of data customization on the face watch. Feels light and comfortable on the wrist and it's cute! I switched from Apple and it has everything I need and more as a beginner runner. The sleep score is a huge plus as well.

It seems durable and accurate. It takes about 3 weeks for it to "get to know you". I enjoy how light it is. The battery lasts 8 days with using the run tracking and strength training features.

Overall very happy and excited about my purchase. Only “bad” thing was that it was a bit more expensive in here than on their oficial website, but the convenience of having it already at the store and being able to use the pickup option made that not matter that much.

Sleek design

Great running watch for my Teen! Easy to use with a bright display. It also saves your workout so you can go back and look at the stats/compare.

Bought this for our daughter who runs cross country and it’s perfect. The battery life lasts and she says it is easy to use. It’s perfect for what we got it for

Upgrade from Fitbit for sure

Got tired of accommodating constant Fitbit Inspire and Charge limitations / operating malfunctions and threw all my Fitbit gear out. Bought the Forerunner 165 after doing some rather extensive research. Didn't want to deal with daily Apple or Samsung charging requirements and didn't like what I read about the Amazfit app and its' limitations. Two weeks in, the Garmin has been pretty solid; not sure about calorie count accuracy, but the Connect and Express apps seem to work well. The Garmin, for the price, offers many more options to custom tailor workouts including strength training, elliptical and stationary bike. Don't use it at night, so the battery's been lasting about 11-12 days.

Fantastic Product, Almost Too Fancy For Me

I bought this to use for managing chronic illnesses. I read a lot from other people about the Body Battery function. Overall I do like it. I'm not usually the type to use a lot of new tech or even wear a watch. I will say, it does work pretty well. There are loads of features you can use for daily activity, but I'm not at that place right now. It basically just calculates your pulse rate and oxygen levels, then uses that to determine your sleep score, body battery, and stress levels. I'm not sure what else I expected. My condition causes high heart rate and my watch pretty much tells me I have danger levels of fatigue most of the time. I thought it would adjust to my baseline and tell me what is high and low "for me", but it seems to be heavily centered around the average recommended sleep time and heart rate for adults. There are tons of functions in this watch and I really don't need 90% of them. You can upload calendars, menstrual data, music, and alarms. Stopwatch, timer, all that. The watch band is easy to clean, though, and it's super light. Battery lasts at least six days. It comes like 80% charged. The battery charges 100% in less than an hour. It definitely is a quality product. Again, I'm just a bit salty about it not adjusting to my personal baseline. I'm still hoping it will eventually, but it's been a few months so I don't think it will.

Nope

I feel like the internet hyped garmin up to much. It’s not even close to Apple Watch in terms of quality. The software is slow and out of date. For the price it’s been a huge disappointment. I don’t even think the step counter is counting my steps correctly. Do yourself a favor and stick with an Apple Watch.
