This smartwatch is perfect for those who need a durable device with impressive battery life and health tracking, all while avoiding the bulk of a smartphone on their wrist. I can typically enjoy about 10 days of daily usewithout sleep trackingwhile engaging in various activities, including weight lifting and long workouts, all with live heart rate monitoring, full notifications, Garmin Pay, and an energy-intensive watch face. With optimal battery management and fewer workouts, extending usage to two weeks or more is definitely achievable.

I absolutely love this product! Its battery life is exceptional, and the screen remains clear in all lighting conditions, which is especially important at my age. It provides a range of boating data screens that deliver precise nautical speed and distance readings, along with reliable tide functions. The weather updates are spot on, and while I primarily use it for walking, the health apps are outstanding. You can customize each activity screen to show a variety of information; for instance, my "walk" screen tracks heart rate, timer, speed, calories burned, and the time. The alarms are noticeably loud, and I appreciate the extensive customization options. I highly recommend this watch to everyone!

Garmin devices offer great value by tracking vital sleep data and various exercises, including weightlifting, cycling, running, and swimming.

My frustration with my Apple Watch's 68 hour battery life drove me to switch to a Garmin watch, which boasts an impressive 19-day battery life even with Bluetooth on and pulse tracking enabled. While the monochrome screen offers good resolution and visibility in direct sunlight, it could be brighter. The user interface has a learning curve, with each of the five buttons serving dual functions, but it becomes intuitive once mastered. Garmin Pay is functional, though it depends on your bank's compatibility. While the solar panel doesn't perform at full capacity, you can achieve "unlimited battery" by limiting features and enjoying exposure to sunlight. The newly updated app isn't as user-friendly as its predecessor but still works well, requiring daily manual syncs. The Garmin store has customizable watch faces and additional apps, although finding compatible ones can be a bit tricky. Overall, despite some challenges, this watch offers a robust set of features and great battery life.
