Long time garmin user here but unfortunately i had to return this onethis is because i have tattoos on both my wrists and the optical hr sensor couldn’t read my heart rate on this model (which has the sensory in a line rather than the usual triangle configuration). For reference my fenix 5 which i have used for a few years has no problem reading my heart rate. So i thought, i know, i’ll wear the watch on the on-site of my wrist instead so it has naked skin. Problem then is you can’t activate the sketch watch (which is activated by the motion of lifting and turning the watch towards you). This has been designed with the watch worn on top of the wrist and doesn’t work if you wear the watch on the inside of the wrist instead. A real shame as i wanted a smart watch that was more like a watch for everyday use but after an afternoon of trying to make it work for me, i’ve gone back to my fenix 5 (which is huge on my tiny wrists.
Really love this watch, i’ve got the 3s and it is great for reasonably small wrists. The garmin connect app is good and i’ve had no issues syncing this with my lg10 phone.
I like this sleek fashionable smart hybrid watch as it looks good and feels good. I find that i have to charge it though every 4/5 days and find it can be slow to connect to phone gps. One other negative is that is does not allow me to pause recording a training session. Instead you need to save and restart (unless there is an option in the settings that i have not found yet) so not as as garmin forerunner but better looking .
I like the looks of my watch and the way it works. Unfortunately after buying even a glass protector i slightly bumped it and glass cracked. One or more customers complained about the same issue in reviews. The glass stands out and that is the reason why it happens. So so disappointed as i love my watch. I contacted seller on amazon. No idea how i will get it fixed now.
I thought about this watch for some time, now i’m so glad i purchased it. Love the fact you can read the time with out tapping anything & in bright light. Choose your priority of what you want to keep track of. Definitely a good investment. Battery life is reasonable last about 4/5 days but charges quickly.
The watch is really good does exactly what i wanted, but has to swap wrist every now and then as it gets sore, i’ve put a pic up to show.

If you have tattoos, sensor won’t work (despite other garmin models working fine!)

Great fitness tracker/smart watch that actually looks like a watch. Great functionality

Good but sore
Looks amazing and works perfectly. (bought for my g/f) cannot see any downside to the watch/fitness tracker. It was a gift and is absolutely loved by my g/f. Looks classy and way better than the apple. Fits a very small wrist also and is very light, have been told she hardly notices it, so another plus. Tracking seems pretty spot on, including things like heart beat and stress levels is cool, can see texts from the phone also.
Bought this as a xmas present for my wife as i was a convert through the vivoactove 3. It is a good looking watch that doesn’t look too ‘sportswatch’ whilst still tracking the usual fitness metrics. The functional display is very discreet too. The feedback to date from my wife is that it’s a cracking everyday watch that is a much better option than her previous fitbit.
