Top reviews from the United States
- Asim V.Great value exchange in a sleek package.This is an amazing product from Garmin. This is their entry level option and it’s very well made and good value for money. Better yet, got this around Thanksgiving so it was discounted.
Very sturdy build with sleek design and quality materials and finish. Band could be an issue for larger persons but there are after market options available.
Comes in a box with minimal items in it; charging cable (USB-C to Garmin’s proprietary attachment configuration) and a booklet. The user manual is available through a barcode that takes you to their PDF version of the manual, allowing for less bulk in the box.
Tracks metrics well and offers a variety of functions to choose from, such as exercise tracking (across different activities), sleep tracking and certain lifestyle metrics such as heart rate and heart rate variability during sleep.
Battery life is good but can vary depending on the notification settings you have as it vibrates to alert you of notifications as well.
Great support and access to a variety of Garmin’s community activities and connections through the Garmin Connect app. Lots of challenges available too through the community functions in the app too, such as step goals, cycling and gym goals, swim goals etc.
All in all, would recommend for anyone willing to make a low risk entry to Garmin’s platform or looking for a light weight option to help with activity tracking. - Brandon LSmart Choice for Capable Fitness TrackerThis watch has treated me well. I wasn't looking for a smart watch. I just wanted a GPS/Fitness Tracker. It has some of the capabilities of a smart watch. I get call, text, and notification updates. I use it as an alarm. The free "Connect" app is great. I can track all of my performance and health metrics. It calculates sleep score, stress level, heart rate, breathing rate, and a few others. The watch face is customizable. The menu is simple to use and navigate. There is a cool feature where the watch face switches to a sleep mode--black background, white stencil lettering, and dim lighting. I really like that feature, because it does have a really powerful LED display. I can read the watch through most of my sleeves.
I did have a minor allergic reaction to the small loop that the watch band passes through. I ended up replacing the band with another option and my skin cleared up within days. No issues since. - BigRonGreat running watchI’ve been running for over 20 years and have only ever used by Apple Watch and before that my timex iron man running watch. Getting a dedicated running watch like this is a game changer. So many more metrics and options to use while running and to review after running has really made me a better runner. I’ve had this watch about 8 months now and have had no issues at all. Heart rate functions great for all day monitoring. I have used a chest strap for a long time for activity monitoring. Even w this watch chest strap heart rate monitoring is the only way to go for accuracy. Wrist based monitors are ok, but if your training and trying to hit certain heart rate zones I would to recommend a chest strap. W that said. Compared to my Apple Watch this wrist based monitor is better. It locks on faster and seems to be pretty accurate. Screen is easy to see in bright sunlight and inside as well. U get access to free training plans within the Garmin app which is easy
to use but looks a bit outdated. W this watch you don’t get training load or training status or readiness like the more expensive Garmin watches but u do get training effect for each workout for aerobic and anaerobic metrics. I use iPhone and have the watch set to notify for calls and text only and the rest of my phone notifications are send silently to my notification widget on the watch which I love. Helps minimize distractions. The watch stays connected very good to my iPhone 14 and always syncs w the Garmin app. The strap the comes w it is comfortable but I did switch it out for a nylon strap which I feel is better and lighter. I would highly recommend this watch for its functionality, metrics and price when u can find it on sale. Overall Garmin products are over priced. But having a worry free experience when paired w an iPhone and accurate training metrics is worth it for this particular device.
