I got this as an early birthday gift. I absolutely love it! The band is awesome too! I also love that you can upload your photos for the watch face! It's not bulky and I just love the technology of it. Love...Love...Love it!!!

Love my new watch
Rating: 5
The customizable screens are great. Everything is at my finger tips. I bought is for the health features. Helps with keeping track of irregular or fast heart beats. Works with my food tracker and other health apps. The size is great and still fits my old Series 2 bands.

Love it!

One option I like, is when I get a phone call, I hear it ring from my wrist and I don't have to run for the phone or dig it out of my purse plus my I watch has many fitness options to encourage and track movements during the day.

Great watch at a good price.

This was on sale for $50 off and I was glad to get it at that price. I upgraded from the first version of the Apple Watch and what an improvement in battery life and features (i.e waterproof and larger display).

Many features compared to series 1 that I replaced. Slim, lightweight and nice band. Battery life is very good.

Everything Works
Rating: 5
Works right out of the box as it should. I love the band too. It doesn't snag on anything. Battery keeps its charge about three days. I have yet to test it's waterproof abilities while swimming.

Exactly what I needed
Rating: 5
My doctor recommended I get something that would notify family if I were to fall. I also like that I call emergency services. I hope I never need to use those functions but since I am a double amputee, I know that I am at risk. This Iwatch4 has been great for me so far I highly recommend it

Great watch but broken screen in less than 1 week
Rating: 4
Absolutely love the size, fit, and features of this watch. Unfortunately after wearing it less then 4 days; with a screen protector, the screen is already shattered at the lower edge after lightly (i am not exaggerating) brushing it against my sink cabinet frame. I've had to pay the cost of the device to send it in for repair. ***i highly recommend buying Apple care and when mine is returned from Apple I will purchase it before wearing. Wish I'd have been prompted to buy it initially during purchase or watch set u.

Heart monitoring and fall detection need work
Rating: 4
Works very well with the exception of the heart monitoring and fall detection. Heart monitoring is normally fine but there are frequent readings that are aberrations, both high and low, that mess up analytics. Fall detection can be triggered by clapping hands and then resting hands at side for about 20 seconds. During workouts, it is difficult to mark a segment by double tapping on the watch face. Sometimes it works, other times it make take multiple attempts to mark the segment delaying the reading.

Substantially lower price than All other stores (Amazon, Macys, Kohls, Target, Best Buy) at that time. I liked this watch as I already had one that I bought 2 yrs ago. These were gifts. Short of Apple Garmin makes best smart watches.

Great value, great product!
Rating: 4
Super easy to set up and super easy to use! Would recommend for a first smart watch. I got it for my sister and she loves being able to see how fast she is walking/running. The only issue is the steps are not 100% accurate, it is a little sensitive when in a bouncy car. The touch screen is amazing. I myself have the Fennix 5s and I find it looks similar. I love the metal around the face, makes it look way more expensive than it is. Great value! Get one before they are not available anymore.

it's great but Garmin needs to get it together as far as tech. watch looses downloads and won't connect to app because app is always broken. So if you have a favorite watch screen and their website goes down your watch screen goes away. just FYI

I give it 3 stars as it was not what I personally was looking for. For an average user, this doesn't really log steps correctly. I had some steps log while sitting at my desk. I had very few steps log while mowing my lawn. When I went out for a walk it registered steps almost exactly as I counted. So, I think there are some sensors that have to play together to make this work correctly. I did play with the GPS function and this is where it excelled. It tracked the precise location of my trek. I think this watch is more for a bicycler or runner. I ended up returning it, as I am neither one of those.

Wrist Band Causes Blisters and Keeps Odor
Rating: 2
I started with a Vivofit 3 as a beginner hiker and wanted an upgraded watch that could track sleep, heart rate, workouts, and GPS location. This watch met all the criteria but after wearing it normally as I would with the Vivofit 3, there was this awful odor the band absorbed. The wrist band gave me blistering so I have been switching wrists. After reading the Garmin forums I have been following regime where I rise the band and watch once a week to keep the odor and blistering at bay. Overall, its a great watch but the band needs better product development to avoid the cleaning regime so much.
