    • BADASS WATCH!
Color: Black Size: 45 MM Style: SOLAR Pattern Name: Watch
Review Image by TACPness!
Review Image by TACPness!
I’ve had smart watches I was issued through the military before so that’s nothing new to me. This is therefore a more I formed review. When I got this watch I was pleasantly surprised by ease of use with respect to swapping through the menus and selecting what you need. Does take some time perhaps to memorize where to go for each item but that is to be expected. I mostly wanted this for the GPS with outdoor activity and the heart rate and fitness features. (Fitbit only ever broke after 3 months, that is to say stopped working out of the blue). The compass is on point and the heart rate monitor is spot on as well. One of the coolest things about this is that it connects to an app and you can look for even better watch faces that have exactly what you want to see on them instead of just the default, that’s the kind of support GARMIN gives with this. I got the watch face that displays heart rate, so I don’t have to swap through menus or use the app to see it in real time. The fit is great and the battery life is as well. You should be aware that some features use up more battery than others, such as active GPS etc, so if you use that you can expect the battery to drain a little bit more quickly. The only adjustment I needed to make was the charging cable, I needed to pinch the lip of the plug with needle nose pliers ever so GENTLY just to adjust them the tiniest amount so it seated properly in the watch which is one of the pictures. I am very happy with this purchase! ... show more

    • Great watch that tracks with no battery problems you can wear to sleep daily
Color: Black Size: 45 MM Style: SOLAR Pattern Name: Watch
Love this highly reliable watch that has not let me down. I wear this all day and am amused that the battery lasts for a month! Great insights and step tracking and exercise but the calorie tracking is a little unreliable in my opinion when you don't select the activity. Great value for money. Easy to set up and use. The display just works. ... show more

    • Great utility, long battery life.
Color: Black Size: 45 MM Style: SOLAR Pattern Name: Watch
Review Image by Ron Leezy
Im very happy with this. I prioritize battery life, utility, so this is perfect. Doesnt look as colorful as Instinct 3 or Apple Watch but both have a worse battery life, with the Apple Watch needing daily charging. This one gets me 27 days on my settings. Garmin has a solid altitude check, integration with txts and alarms from my phone, has solar charging (not that great), pedometer, heart rate graph (not accurate), and best of all, you can cram these things into 1 screen, and its customizable with other "widgets" like westher and compass. The main issue is theres do many functions I will never learn how to fully use it, but Im happy with the ones I have. ... show more

    • Awesome watch for the average person.
Color: Black Size: 45 MM Style: SOLAR Pattern Name: Watch
Awesome watch everyone should consider owning. Unless you are constantly tracking and GPS it will last 3 weeks or better battery life. Really awesome for day to day life and the app is simple and great. Couldn't imagine not having it. Has almost every feature you could ask for using on a day by day basis and easy to use/ navigate. ... show more

    • Very “Tactical”
Color: Black Size: 45 MM Style: SOLAR Pattern Name: Watch
I personally did not want super flashy or colorful when it came to a smart watch. This watch has an incredible battery life which is worlds ahead of any competition. The “tactical” set up allows for tons of activity tracking as well as miscellaneous downloads through Garmin’s app. I even have the old school snake game on it. The one complaint I have is that I was unaware of the 50mm face and got the 45 thinking it was the biggest option, which I can still live with. If you want to track tons of health data and have crazy battery life(while being able to tell time) this is a great option. Very dependable and durable somewhat entry level smartwatch. I do wish the price point was a little better considering the lack of some of the more cutting edge features but overall great watch for what I needed. ... show more

I have owned this watch for 2-ish months now and love it. I can take it everywhere and love all the features it offers. I have had 0-problems or complaints. For a guy needing a rugged-simple smart watch, this is the one.
