  • Hardware is good, but software needs quite improvement
Color: Tidal Blue Size: 46 MM Style: Non-Music Pattern Name: Smartwatch
I am a marathon runner and cyclist. After using this watch for almost 3 weeks continuously, this watch works pretty well from my observation. Health tracking, sleep tracking, and GPS tracking all work almost flawlessly. I am also impressed that Garmin provides me with a very useful workout based on my fitness and training load after I set up my race calendar. The only negative experience is the software sometimes sucks. For example, I tried to set up the heart rate zone (based on HRR) on my watch for the different types of activities several times, no matter whether I configured it from the watch directly or via Connect app, sometimes this watch just ignored the value I configured and use the default value right away. After several attempts, it finally settles. Besides, when I download the data field from Connect IQ store and install it on the watch, I cannot see this data field app from the Connect app so I cannot use it in the data screen. I have to clean up both apps and re-login again so that I can see this data field app in the Connect app and use it. Even worse, after I configure the data field app in the data screen, the next time when I start an activity, the data field I set up before is just gone and becomes a timer. For the workaround, I try not to use any 3rd party app in the data screens. As a software engineer, I cannot understand why these obvious bugs are not resolved yet when this watch was released several months ago. If I didn't encounter these annoying software bugs, I'd love to give it 5 stars rating. ... show more

  • Long battery life.
Color: Tidal Blue Size: 46 MM Style: Non-Music Pattern Name: Smartwatch
I love all the features this watch has to offer but my favorite is the long battery life. I will go days without charging it. I am a runner and my long distance runs, I am not nervous that it will die.

  • love this watch
Color: Tidal Blue Size: 46 MM Style: Non-Music Pattern Name: Smartwatch
I bought this watch because I was starting to swim and train for a triathalon. It has worked beautifully these last few months. It is very accuarte with open water and pool swim. I bought the speed and cadence extras for my bike while I ride my trainer and I feel they coordinate great together. I am a runner at heart and this has worked well for all of my runs. I have put my training plan into the app so my watch lets me know what to do everyday. I love the sleep fetures. I didn't realize how poor my sleep was just after have a couple drinks. I highly reccomend this wonder watch. ... show more
