It’s awesome!

I bought it 2 months ago and it’s so amazing I ditched my Apple Watch!

Good watch

Watch has a lot of features and improvements but speed of connectivity with app is to slow and isn’t automatic like an Apple Watch Sleep Tracker takes to many hours to update as well as vo2 max and HRV

Amazing Capacity!!

Amazing durability, fantastic battery life that's advertised fairly accurately, and great features. There's a slight hangup on the strength training feature where it feels like it does too much, but that's a really pretty nitpick for what's otherwise the best product on the market I've gotten to use.

Amazing little watch!

This is my first Garmin watch and buying this was probably the best decision I’ve made recently. While it may not have a fancy display that some higher end watches do, it works perfectly for everything in need.

Great features, updates are hit or miss

Its a great watch, covers my needs very well in terms of features. That said, I bought it because the battery life on the basic model was phenomenal, and I thought adding solar charging would be even better. It started out getting 2-3 weeks, and then an update hit that drained it in a day. I've been averaging less than a week since then, even though I do a full factory reset after each update

Great devices, great support!

Great devices! Yet sometimes even the best devices fail. That's when the quality of support matters. And it is excellent! Thank you!

Nice features but display lacks

I really like the watch, but wish I spent a little more on the Instinct Solar 2X…just for a bigger screen and longer battery life.

Glad I switched

I'm glad I switched to Garmin watches. I usually stuck to the mainstream smart watches like Samsung or Google but needed something that lasted longer. Now I can always keep my watch on and hardly ever take it off to charge it. The only bad thing is Garmin doesn't support my bank so I can't use Garmin pay which sucks. I paid a lot of times with my other watches but hopefully they will support it eventually. Tracks my runs flawlessly and is way better than the other brands.

Pretty great!!

Aside from getting used to the controls it’s a great watch. I’m in L.E. and the watch is just what I was looking for. Haven’t fully explored all the workout tracking but what I have done the watch is very accurate with tracking reps. Size is great for me with the tactical version. I have used Apple Watches and while those are nice they were just too much. This gives me the info I need without being a distraction
