Product details
Web ID: 19609509I do like the watch and features but
The watch it self is quite easy to navigate, I definitely still need to learn some things. But I wish the app was nicer and easier to navigate. I find my self getting confused. I also Don't like the app store for the watch is on a separate app. I have used other watches and this is my first Garmin. I definitely like the other apps more.

Awesome Customization
I love everything about this watch. From the battery life to the fitness metrics that it tracks. For starters, I get almost 2 weeks out of the battery. Thats using the gps everyday for hikes, walks, or for golfing. I feel that it keeps better track of your fitness metrics then some other bands. The steps and heart rate are 2 that I track daily. My heart rate is always spot in if I check it manually as well. It has given me confidence to trust the device. The golf app is another thing I use regularly and it is like having a cady with you. From giving you yardage to what the hole actually plays like and club recommendations and the green contours just top it off

Garmin for the win
Several months in now, this is great. Battery life is great, Wrist heart rate seems accurate, as I often pair with a HRM600 chest strap anyway. Not too bulky, but feels substantial. Very pleased with this watch.

Great wearable!
This watch is a great adjunct, too other wearables to monitor my overall health. My only recommendation would be more information on how to utilize all the amazing features.

80% of the way there. Why did they stop?
I think if you are upgrading from a previous Fenix version you will be very happy with this watch. I am not upgrading. This was my first Garmin watch. I found the menu system tedious and the need to use multiple mobile phone apps to get most things done was unnecessary. (You need Connect and IQ for most everything and then there are specialty apps.). The first thing I wanted to do was change the watch face from the default. It doesn't come with multiple defaults. You can either spend a lot of time developing your own watch face or you can buy one off the IQ app. The IQ options are not bad, but they all come from third party companies, not Garmin. The terms and conditions of using their watch faces entitles them to view all of the data that is generated from the watch for the lifetime of the watch. If found this unbelievable. It is a Trojan horse that you have to pay for. In general, I really like Garmin and have many of their devices including bike computers and golf monitors. They should have taken the time to make this a great watch. This release is clunky and intrusive.
