Garmin Upgrade
I have owned several Garmin watches. I upgraded to the Fenix E for the extra features and health tracking upgrades. Very nice watch and the sale price put it in my budget.

Great watch but it's quite bulky.
I bought my new Fenix E on the Black Friday sale so I was pleased with the price. Be advised, it's a very heavy and bulky watch. One of the main reasons I bought this particular model was due to the case back being stainless steel. The other models I have have the composite case back and my skin where the watch rests have been persistently irritated. To the point my skin on both wrists is actually breaking out. I thought the stainless steel would help this issue, but it hasn't. I guess I'll be upgrading to the titanium.

1A
Hi, just bought and installed my Fenix E; very pleased and in love with it. Great big (big enough with 47 mm) amoled screen and a huge amount of settings. In the beginning, quite difficult to get to use it and the biggest problem I have is the installation of maps; the Garmin Express (with Mac) is temperamental... the apps "Connect", "ConnectIQ", "Messenger" and "Explore" works very well. I highly recommend this watch contrary to the critics.

This review is from fenix E, 47mm, Outdoor & Fitness GPS Smartwatch, Stainless Steel/Black, NALove this watch... mostly!
I have had this watch a couple of weeks and i love a lot about it. It has a great UI, features work seamlessly and are easy to understand and deploy. I have not figured out the map apps yet but havent tried hard. I have one complaint and that is the fit of the new band that came with the Fenix. I found it very hard to find a setting that was not too tight or too loose, my wrist seemed to be just in between. I went with too tight so the watch could get a good heart rate reading but with the design of this watch band i had to remove the watch every few hours to give my skin a break. The band was too rigid and too stiff to get comfortable. I went with an old band from my Fenix 5 and it was much better.

Outstanding watch
I was using the Forerunner 945 LTE prior to getting the Fenix-E. Lightyears different. From the amazing AMOLED screen to the various functions and features, the Fenix is in a completely different class. It's a brilliant upgrade and a wonderful tool for workouts, wellness and just general timekeeping. I love the touchscreen for data entry (reps and weight). Accuracy is excellent... altitude, climb, distance, etc. Size is perfect (and good looking!!). Great available watch faces (data-rich and analog). Just an outstanding watch all around. Love it. Well done, Garmin.

Good for activity, needs better all-round function
I bought the Fenix to replace a Samsung watch on the basis of better in-activity performance (swimming, hiking, etc.). I think if you are buying this watch primarily to track training activities, you will be pleased. However, more general functionality should be improved given the price point. I was not aware until after purchase that I can answer my phone using the watch but I cannot talk or hear the caller unless I go to my phone (no microphone or speaker on watch). This is a worthless feature and less expensive watches have full Bluetooth 'answer and talk' features. Additionally, Garmin claims that its step counting feature is more accurate than competitors because it filters out arm movements that should not count as steps. After mowing my large yard and noticing my step count seemed low, I confirmed that my Fenix was not counting my steps when my hand was on my mower. I assume this would be the case pushing a stroller, jogger, or cart of any type. To test, I wore my Fenix and my older watch both and a ankle strapped pedometer for a day. While the old watch counted about 10% more steps than the pedometer, the Fenix was 16% less than the pedometer. One can say that it is relative and day to day comparison that is important. However, Garmin markets their products for accuracy and precision. I believe Garmin has work to do to improve the accuracy of their step counting function.

Best watch I've ever had!
I bought it a month ago, and my only regret is not purchasing it earlier.
