Okay
Not as easy to program as I had hoped. Cannot program the tide. It was on then it said no information.

Must have!!!!!
I’m a 45yr old lady and any purchase to look younger, this was one of them!! About a month ago I bought my garmin surf specifically to track my new found love of swimming however what a perfect way to hold myself accountable for my daily goals. I get more compliments on the color then expected!!! I have far less time scrolling pointless social media because now when I pick my phone up my time is spent in my Garmin app!!! I love it!! I purchased bracelets to dress it up when needed!! It far exceeded my expectations!!!

Fun Colors and Great Battery Life!
I purchased this to replace my prior watch. I was looking for something lighter than my previous watch, with external buttons instead of touch face, and features for backpacking, hiking and trail running. This has been a perfect fit. Plus it's awesome that it comes in fun colors! So far the watch has been accurate and it's the first watch I can keep on all day every day without being annoyed. Great purchase.

The watch band is causing a pretty bad allergy
My wrist is so itchy due to the watch band despite I kept washing both my skin and the watch.. I even have to take it off sometimes to ease the situation.. The watch itself is good though. I used it for running for now. Look forward to the heart rate monitoring during bike rides. The Garmin connect app had a bug previously that doesn't allow me to edit any watch settings. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app, the problem was gone.

Great watch...
...but didn't work for me. I wanted so hard to make it work. I have cataract replacement lens and the face wasn't bright enough nor enough contrast for me to see without my glasses, which I don't wear when hiking! I opted for the Venu 2S and love it!

Great watch and features
Love the watch and the features, however I had to purchase a new band as the watch only came with the smallest size. For the price tag, Garmin should throw in both size bands.

Too complex
I bought this a year ago and I am still trying to figure out what apps I need to down load to get it to work as well as my fit bit. Seems it is not all in one but pieced together with a number of apps. My plan was to use it windsurfing so knowing the tides is great if it worked all the time. I am currently using my old golf Garmin while golfing since the distances are right on the watch. I haven't been able to do that with this watch unless I have the app on my phone. I find that when crossing time changes the watch doesn't update unless you can get a satellite GPS. Hard to do from inside airports. The good news is that it is waterproof and shock proof.

Super Great!
Really like this watch. All the tracking features are great and like that I can grab gpa coordinates.

Bought for swimming!
I have not used this for any water activities except for swimming. I really just wanted it to be waterproof and I LOVE LOVE the colors! I was pretty disappointed because I did not find clear explanations of the differences between the Solar version and the one I bought. Specifically I am sad about the missing Garmin Pay feature.
