This is my first sports watch so I have nothing to compare to, but I’ve found it to be pretty good! It has an attractive face, straps have been easy enough to swap out to match different outfits.Battery life is good, I wear it constantly and charge it every 5 days or so.Syncs easily with the Garmin app wherever I am. My only reservation is I think the metrics can be a bit off- sometimes it’s recorded I’ve done 500 steps whilst lying in bed! Or that I’m in REM deep when I’m scrolling through Reddit on a morning.But otherwise it’s been good, would recommend.

Item as described but was 24 hours late, which cost me a day of waiting.

Really happy that you cant tell that it’s a smartwatch, but it has all the key functionality for me. Only think i’d love, would be in built GPS, instead of pulling it from the phone. But in practice, it doesnt make a huge difference

I had a really good recently bought smart watch before this and it would annoy me when the lift to wake function wouldn’t work. To the extent that it put me off having it. I wanted good activity tracking for my workouts but a normal nice watch face. When I saw this one I sold my LED screen smart watch and bought this.In a lot of areas it is much better, for my previous smart watch I needed (after a 6 month trial) to pay for a monthly subscription to keep having sleep tracking and body battery (or their brand’s equivalent). With this watch all those things come free with the watch.The Garmin connect app is great, has lots of info and I have been happy with it so far. I love the watch, I love the subtlety that comes with having smart watch style activity trackers and yet a nice looking normal front.I have worn it to the gym a few times and generally been happy with the tracking. Even in the swimming pool. Overall I have Been impressed.Yet there have been a couple of things that need improvement. The watch’s connection with the phone is not perfect. It seems bitty at times. When attempting to align the watch hands through the app it always breaks connection before finishing. They need to improve that on a coming firmware update.Also mentioning watch aligning I have noticed I have to align the hands more often than I would have liked. I get it, they are moving up and down a lot for notifications but sometimes they are way off (the wrong side of the clock). I guess it might be an issues with having physical hands on a smart watch but I think they should design it so you don’t have to move the hands at all. Eg make them see-through when over the digital part of the screen or give people in app control of whether or not you can turn off the hands moving for each and every notification etc.This comes to my last gripe. I had a different brand fitness tracker before and they enabled me to go through every app that sends notifications to my watch and select yes or no. That was great. Garmin don’t offer that yet (please offer it soon it’s enough to make me want to get rid!). They do offer the ability to filter smart notifications to calls and texts only (which I have selected!) But I still seem to get every notification under the sun through. I don’t want to know about calendar notifications on my watch or some random third part apps most recent promotion. Please enable me to filter through each app and select yes or no. (Makes me tempted to go back to that recent brand and pay that premium monthly fee, almost, on second thoughts no! But please do something about it Garmin).Other than that Garmin have the ingredients to be onto a winner and overall I definitely prefer it to my previous fitness tracker (even though that used to offer ECG scanning). Because this one looks and feels more like a watch and has good activity tracking to boot!

Muy buen reloj

Elegant och modern
Jättebra och snygg klocka!

This is a traditional looking analogue watch that illuminates with your data in the bottom half of the screen when you raise your wrist or call it up. You can change what is displayed in this home screen. You can also scroll through the rest of your data by swiping. Brilliant. Just what I wanted. I can’t abide just having a black blob on my wrist. This is far batter and looks so much more stylish when wearing it throughout the day.The battery lasts a few days. The Garmin app is great and the watch offers the full range of health and fitness statistics including swimming BUT NOT stair climbs.There is no GPS built in but it will pair with a Bluetooth phone to track your workout. It will also provide maps of routes you’ve done via the App.You can receive email messages and notifications on the screen these call up when they arrive.There is no Garmin pay on this watch but if you pay more you could buy the Style version which does have this, the stair climb function, a better screen and in my opinion is even more stylish.

Very good looking watch but a little difficult seeing the hands when there are lots of reflections. Digital display is also poor in bright sunlight. Step count doesn’t seem to be as accurate as a fitbit (count is low when just walking around the house). The big problem is the heart rate monitor which more often than not fails to register my significantly raised heart rate when I’m on a rowing machine. Just reports 67 to 85 when it’s more like 130. What’s the point of this Garmin watch if it can’t record this fundamental metric? I’ll be looking to send this back or exchange it to see if it is actually a faulty unit. This is my first Garmin, I won’t rush to get another.

Brilliant watch. Easy to use, plenty of helpful features, comfortable to wear, and fantastic quality!I purchased this watch after losing a previous, more basic Garmin watch, which I loved. I haven’t been disappointed over two years later and am now considering buying another Garmin watch as a spare/different look.

the battery needed charging every second day which was poor so item returned
