Excellent Product, exactly as described

I got this watch after being frustrated by my Apple Watch's 6-8 hour battery life. Yes, out of the box. Yes, it was sent in for repair and they said it's working as designed. No more Apple Watches for me. In fact, no more new Apple products. Nice job, Tim Apple. I digress. The Garmin watch does what I need it to do and has a real-world battery life of around 19 DAYS for me. That's constantly monitoring my pulse rate, keeping Bluetooth on, and getting notifications from my phone. NINETEEN DAYS! Is it perfect? No. The monochrome screen is functional and high resolution. It is very readable in bright sunlight, unlike the Apple Watch. But the backlight leaves something to be desired. Even at its highest brightness, it's a bit dim for my eyes. The user interface takes some getting used to. Pressing buttons is different than holding buttons. So each of the 5 buttons has two functions. Once you get the hang of it, though, it's pretty intuitive, but do expect a learning curve. Garmin Pay works... if your bank is supported. None of mine were supported until I changed banks. (Not for the watch alone, other reasons too.) Even then, it was a manual process on my bank's side, causing me to have to call them up. Apple Watch just works better in this case. The solar panel does function, but do not expect to reach 100% battery, even outside all day in the direct sun. You may see several percent increase, but unless you turn almost everything off except the time, the solar cell will not provide significant charge. With nearly everything off, however, you can attain "unlimited battery" being in the bright sun for several hours a day. The app was just updated recently. It works well, but isn't as intuitive as the previous version. Learning curve again, I think. I manually sync my watch daily (or when I remember). This works well. There are ways to customize many watch faces, and there are a few apps available on the Garmin store to add functionality to the watch. It's a little challenging as it is a separate app for the Garmin store on your phone, and you have to look for apps that run on your specific model of watch. I wish it could filter by the watch you own, but alas they haven't done that yet. Overall, this is an excellent watch with a wealth of features. Just expect to study the manual and memorize buttons and other functionality. I highly recommend this watch.

Super lightweight and long last battery . Can be used as everyday watch.

Me encanta el reloj, ya que le duró muchísimo la pila. Me encanta que tenga un montón de funciones, la que más ocupo es la de senderismo, gimnasio y bicicleta. Sirve mucho su GPS ya que ayuda a localizarte en medio de la anda y te muestra el camino de regreso. Por el precio siento que es un mega reloj y no le pode nada a Garmins más avanzados

Good watch. Tested it to be working well. Price was lower than other store. Note: bought on Black Friday but turns out it became cheaper after Black Friday. WTH. Update: buyers not residing in UK/CA to note. Warranty is only available in UK/CA. There's no Chinese fonts and it's impossible to download Chinese fonts pack (only available for APAC watches).
