    After 4 years of hard use in mountain hiking, mountain biking, swimming in the sea and river, in agricultural work with mud and dust, and even in a shower with hot water, I tried it... because I forgot to take it off and the watch is almost like new!!! The only downside is the small screen, although it's not Garmin's fault but my 52 years where presbyopia is my close friend

    The watch overall is good, but this model's barometer and altimeter sensor breaks every 2 years. In 4 years, I have already replaced it twice at the service center

    Perhaps the most value for money product that Garmin has released. It doesn't break or malfunction, it measures exceptionally well, it has a great relationship with water, and at the price of 190 that I bought it, you can call it a bargain. In the two years that I have had it, it is just like when I bought it. And in terms of battery life and appearance.

    Impressive smartwatch ideal for sports use, as it has several measurement functions, with good accuracy and satisfactory durability against scratches, falls, etc.
    Its screen is clear, but quite small for reading messages. Additionally, the default blue backlight it has seems somewhat annoying (see attached images). Especially when compared to other smartwatches in the 100 euro range, it falls behind in terms of screen quality.
    Finally, the connection to the mobile phone is easy (for call notifications, messages, etc.) and the mobile application is quite user-friendly. I recommend it for someone who primarily wants it for sports use, investing in the accuracy of its measurements.

    Very good watch, I have it for over a year, it is very good in measurements except for swimming where it loses its signal and its measurements are incorrect, that's why I gave it 4 stars. In other words, for someone who wants it for open water, it is better to go for something else. It works great for everything else, I have used it for cycling, running, and hiking, it works perfectly with the alpha 100 for dog tracking

    Excellent. I use it as an adventure watch and not as a smartwatch, so the battery lasts about 14 days.
    The measurements are accurate except for the altimeter, which confused me a bit, but I'm not particularly interested in it. I had the same "issue" with a previous Suunto watch.
    The app has a great interface on the mobile (one of the reasons I bought it) and provides analysis with all the information I need.
    I bought the graphite version and also bought an extra silicone strap (be careful, there are others) that is an exact imitation of the original design, since the official store didn't have it.

    Very good, very light, I believe it is better than the more expensive Garmin models because it has few and good features and therefore does not have any problems like other models. I highly recommend it, with eyes closed...!!! The battery lasts about 10 days and if you use GPS, expect about half the days...

    Awesome watch that covers the needs of any athlete! Whether you are a professional or an amateur, you can easily train and track everything with this sportwatch in combination with Garmin Connect on your mobile!

    The best value for money Garmin if someone doesn't have the money for the Fenix 6, etc.

    I was quite satisfied from the first day of purchase!

    I have it for about 2 months. You don't feel it in your hand and it's very comfortable. Battery lasts at least 1 week and charges very quickly. Accuracy in measurements, maybe it doesn't show accurately in temperatures as it is affected by the temperature of the hand. Many functions. If you are into hiking and mountain walks, it's the best.

    Good evening everyone. I bought it in the summer of 2020. I wear it every day. I don't use the smart functions - notifications. I mainly use it as a simple watch and for running (GPS). With the use I make, the battery lasts about 7-9 days. It syncs instantly with the iPhone. It's waterproof, scratch-resistant, drop-proof, etc. Simple, understandable, and elegant. It's not a gadget smartwatch like the Apple Watch or any other of the same style, but it performs this task perfectly! I recommend it!

    Excellent durable watch with very accurate measurements.
    Disadvantages: does not have vO2max, does not have maps, and both could be supported even though it is black and white.

    For anyone who is amateurly involved in running (swimming, cycling, running), it is great for their money, I haven't worked with it as a smartwatch because I'm not interested. The only negative thing about it is that I struggled a bit to adjust it with Garmin Connect (to measure in kilometers instead of miles)

    In the positives, the GPS accuracy is very good, battery life is long (around ten days with heavy GPS usage), and there are many options to customize the data you want to see on your screen. Essentially, you can choose what you want and place it wherever you want. On the negative side, the optical heart rate monitor is quite accurate during running, but not so much during cardio and hiking. It also has some issues, such as freezing with GPX maps, but I don't know if it's the watch's fault or the file's.

    The battery autonomy is very good, depending on its usage of course. I use it on a daily basis for running and other sports activities. It lasts me a week with 10 days of full usage.

    The build quality is quite good. I would suggest adding a screen protector for extra protection, for those who will use it in more extreme conditions. It is quite lightweight and comfortable. The strap is elastic and feels nice on the hand.

    Overall, I am very satisfied. It is what I expected. It is worth its money.

    Good evening, and from me, the owner of this specific product, I have been disappointed for two days now from the GPS aspect, specifically in the open water swimming option, which interests me the most. When the watch enters the water while the GPS is locked, you press start to begin the activity, and from a certain point onwards, while the stopwatch continues to count, the distance stops being measured. In other words, it loses the GPS signal and only finds it again when you stop and take your hand out of the water, and then it starts measuring again while the time continues, which is completely unacceptable. And at the end of the workout, the track shown in the Garmin application indicates that you have covered distances on land. I haven't tried it in other activities, maybe it performs better there. Ultimately, it's not worth the money I bought it for, I truly regret it.

    The watch was purchased for 299 in 18 interest-free installments, a good purchase due to the installments. It strongly resembles a Casio G Shock. Previously, I had the Fenix 3. Its battery easily lasts a week with 10 days of 6-7 running workouts, but definitely not 14 days. The fact that it doesn't have a color screen plays a role, along with intense usage and continuous heart rate monitoring. It is much more comfortable and lightweight on the wrist compared to the Fenix 3, especially for those with thin wrists. The GPS locks on much faster than the Fenix, and its heart rate monitor is very accurate. It loses floors, showing 2 instead of 4, while the Fenix displayed them correctly. One downside is that those with presbyopia may have difficulty due to the small screen. It appears and is cheaper than the Fenix series, but definitely more durable than all Garmin watches. For me, it's not worth 300 euros; wait for it to drop to 250 or below.

    After a month of use, I have to say that it is very comfortable to hold, the measurements are very accurate, the battery is very good (lasts around 20 days with normal use), the quality is very good both in the dial and the strap, and the GPS accuracy is amazing. It leans more towards being a sportwatch rather than a smartwatch. I would like a higher screen resolution because the pixels are almost visible. It is borderline value for money at the price of 260 that I bought it for.

    Very powerful watch, accurate in measurements, a true companion. For anyone who wants a aesthetically pleasing watch with watch faces, etc., it's not worth it to get a fenix. As a sportwatch, it's exceptional and durable.

    P.S. I used it in the marathon, its accuracy made a difference both in GPS and wrist HR, as well as its battery life. Excellent.

    Incredible features, great for running, hiking, mountaineering, cycling, swimming. The GPS provides accurate tracking, the screen is clear even though it's black and white. Amazing construction, optical heart rate monitor for training, perfect fit on the wrist. Definitely needs screen protection and it's value for money. Great job by Garmin on this watch!!!

    The battery life is incredibly good, especially if you turn off unnecessary watch functions. After 1 week and daily syncing, the battery has only dropped one bar. It can probably last a month like this. I don't regret buying this watch.

In the two years that I have had it, it is just like when I bought it. And in terms of battery life and appearance.

    Impressive smartwatch ideal for sports use, as it has several measurement functions, with good accuracy and satisfactory durability against scratches, falls, etc.
    Its screen is clear, but quite small for reading messages. Additionally, the default blue backlight it has seems somewhat annoying (see attached images). Especially when compared to other smartwatches in the 100 euro range, it falls behind in terms of screen quality.
    Finally, the connection to the mobile phone is easy (for call notifications, messages, etc.) and the mobile application is quite user-friendly. I recommend it for someone who primarily wants it for sports use, investing in the accuracy of its measurements.

    Very good watch, I have it for over a year, it is very good in measurements except for swimming where it loses its signal and its measurements are incorrect, that's why I gave it 4 stars. In other words, for someone who wants it for open water, it is better to go for something else. It works great for everything else, I have used it for cycling, running, and hiking, it works perfectly with the alpha 100 for dog tracking

    The best purchase I have made in a watch, it works perfectly, the battery lasts a long time in smartwatch mode, swimming in the sea, lightweight, accurate time through GPS auto sync!

    Excellent. I use it as an adventure watch and not as a smartwatch, so the battery lasts about 14 days.
    The measurements are accurate except for the altimeter, which confused me a bit, but I'm not particularly interested in it. I had the same "issue" with a previous Suunto watch.
    The app has a great interface on the mobile (one of the reasons I bought it) and provides analysis with all the information I need.
    I bought the graphite version and also bought an extra silicone strap (be careful, there are others) that is an exact imitation of the original design, since the official store didn't have it.

    Very good, very light, I believe it is better than the more expensive Garmin models because it has few and good features and therefore does not have any problems like other models. I highly recommend it, with eyes closed...!!! The battery lasts about 10 days and if you use GPS, expect about half the days...

    Awesome watch that covers the needs of any athlete! Whether you are a professional or an amateur, you can easily train and track everything with this sportwatch in combination with Garmin Connect on your mobile!

    The best value for money Garmin if someone doesn't have the money for the Fenix 6, etc.

    I was quite satisfied from the first day of purchase!

    I have it for about 2 months. You don't feel it in your hand and it's very comfortable. Battery lasts at least 1 week and charges very quickly. Accuracy in measurements, maybe it doesn't show accurately in temperatures as it is affected by the temperature of the hand. Many functions. If you are into hiking and mountain walks, it's the best.

    Good evening everyone. I bought it in the summer of 2020. I wear it every day. I don't use the smart functions - notifications. I mainly use it as a simple watch and for running (GPS). With the use I make, the battery lasts about 7-9 days. It syncs instantly with the iPhone. It's waterproof, scratch-resistant, drop-proof, etc. Simple, understandable, and elegant. It's not a gadget smartwatch like the Apple Watch or any other of the same style, but it performs this task perfectly! I recommend it!

    Disadvantages: does not have vO2max, does not have maps, and both could be supported even though it is black and white.

    For anyone who is amateurly involved in running (swimming, cycling, running), it is great for their money, I haven't worked with it as a smartwatch because I'm not interested. The only negative thing about it is that I struggled a bit to adjust it with Garmin Connect (to measure in kilometers instead of miles)

    In the positives, the GPS accuracy is very good, battery life is long (around ten days with heavy GPS usage), and there are many options to customize the data you want to see on your screen. Essentially, you can choose what you want and place it wherever you want. On the negative side, the optical heart rate monitor is quite accurate during running, but not so much during cardio and hiking. It also has some issues, such as freezing with GPX maps, but I don't know if it's the watch's fault or the file's.

    The battery autonomy is very good, depending on its usage of course. I use it on a daily basis for running and other sports activities. It lasts me a week with 10 days of full usage.

    The build quality is quite good. I would suggest adding a screen protector for extra protection, for those who will use it in more extreme conditions. It is quite lightweight and comfortable. The strap is elastic and feels nice on the hand.

    Overall, I am very satisfied. It is what I expected. It is worth its money.

    Good evening, and from me, the owner of this specific product, I have been disappointed for two days now from the GPS aspect, specifically in the open water swimming option, which interests me the most. When the watch enters the water while the GPS is locked, you press start to begin the activity, and from a certain point onwards, while the stopwatch continues to count, the distance stops being measured. In other words, it loses the GPS signal and only finds it again when you stop and take your hand out of the water, and then it starts measuring again while the time continues, which is completely unacceptable. And at the end of the workout, the track shown in the Garmin application indicates that you have covered distances on land. I haven't tried it in other activities, maybe it performs better there. Ultimately, it's not worth the money I bought it for, I truly regret it.

    The watch was purchased for 299 in 18 interest-free installments, a good purchase due to the installments. It strongly resembles a Casio G Shock. Previously, I had the Fenix 3. Its battery easily lasts a week with 10 days of 6-7 running workouts, but definitely not 14 days. The fact that it doesn't have a color screen plays a role, along with intense usage and continuous heart rate monitoring. It is much more comfortable and lightweight on the wrist compared to the Fenix 3, especially for those with thin wrists. The GPS locks on much faster than the Fenix, and its heart rate monitor is very accurate. It loses floors, showing 2 instead of 4, while the Fenix displayed them correctly. One downside is that those with presbyopia may have difficulty due to the small screen. It appears and is cheaper than the Fenix series, but definitely more durable than all Garmin watches. For me, it's not worth 300 euros; wait for it to drop to 250 or below.

    After a month of use, I have to say that it is very comfortable to hold, the measurements are very accurate, the battery is very good (lasts around 20 days with normal use), the quality is very good both in the dial and the strap, and the GPS accuracy is amazing. It leans more towards being a sportwatch rather than a smartwatch. I would like a higher screen resolution because the pixels are almost visible. It is borderline value for money at the price of 260 that I bought it for.

    Very powerful watch, accurate in measurements, a true companion. For anyone who wants a aesthetically pleasing watch with watch faces, etc., it's not worth it to get a fenix. As a sportwatch, it's exceptional and durable.

    P.S. I used it in the marathon, its accuracy made a difference both in GPS and wrist HR, as well as its battery life. Excellent.

    Incredible features, great for running, hiking, mountaineering, cycling, swimming. The GPS provides accurate tracking, the screen is clear even though it's black and white. Amazing construction, optical heart rate monitor for training, perfect fit on the wrist. Definitely needs screen protection and it's value for money. Great job by Garmin on this watch!!!

    The battery life is incredibly good, especially if you turn off unnecessary watch functions. After 1 week and daily syncing, the battery has only dropped one bar. It can probably last a month like this. I don't regret buying this watch.

  • After 4 years of hard use in mountain hiking, mountain biking, swimming in the sea and river, in agricultural work with mud and dust, and even in a shower with hot water, I tried it... because I forgot to take it off and the watch is almost like new!!! The only downside is the small screen, although it's not Garmin's fault but my 52 years where presbyopia is my close friend
