Fine watch, perhaps a little too pricey for some, but then you have real Garmin

- Jaap, 25 February, 2026

If this is your first time with a smartwatch, it will take some time to find the functions and all the features. But with the manual. Activities can be marked as favourites which makes them quicker to choose. I mainly use it for break walks and swimming.

Pros & Cons

Good size for narrow wrists
Lightweight
Many extta possibilities with the Garmin App
Search for functions

Top, comprehensive features

Had some research work in the beginning to set up and discover the possibilities. Connect to garmin connect on your smartphone and setup becomes a lot easier. Order of screens, apps, layout ed are easy to set here. Handy is that you can make a list of possible replies to messages and organise them. Gps signal is found very quickly, walking with navigation without map, but goes smoothly with warning when to turn off. Lots of choice in terms of screen layouts for different activities. Heart rate functions are accurate. Lots of info regarding fitness,training/rest suggestions. Bought this smaller version due to narrower wrist, screen is easy to read and operate.

Pros & Cons

Bright screen, touchscreen works very well
Easy to operate once you get the hang of it
Light, good fit
Messages are easy to reply to
Requires some searching to set up
