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.

Great Watch
Rating: 5
The new samsung watch is awesome. A great improvement of the first edition I had which worked great until after 2 1/2 years which didn't stay charged for over 4 hrs. Any how, the new watch works like it should and has the features I like. I would get it again.

Free floors
Rating: 3
The first couple of months this watch was great, but for some reason after a software update the floors climbed started going up (even when the watch is in the cradle charging).. I would get 2-300 floors in a day without actually going up a single flight of stairs.. apparently this is an ongoing problem since it still to this day (2 years later) has not been fixed.. (you can even see in the image I added.. 39 floors today.. haven't gone up a single flight of stairs)

Great watch, but...
Rating: 3
i like the watch, but it really gripes me when they do updates that wipe out all my settings! especially when i have to re-validate samsung pay accounts. plus i can't find the watch faces that i previously purchased! i'm not going to make the mistake of purchasing any more of the watch faces. and i spent over three hours today trying to get everything set up again.

great smartwatch, not so great fitness watch
Rating: 2
I so wanted to love this watch. The display is amazing, the apps work seemlessly, and email and notifications come right through and easy to read. Even taking a call is easy and others say they can't tell I am talking on a watch. Well, that is where the accolades end. Those are the reasons I gave it 2 stars because it was perfect in all those areas, just don't buy it for a fitness watch. Step counting is horrible. I get up and walk the copier and back = 0 steps. I am averaging about 3000 steps less than fitbit or garmin PER DAY. Also, when I take my runs or walks about 50% of the time the heart rate stops recording all together. Yes I know how to wear the watch as I have owned several garmins and suunto watches in the past. Looking online this is a common problem. Really thought this was going to be my go to watch. Photo enclosed showing how the heart rate just stops in workouts. Had problems with both the samsung app and trying to use map my run. Both had the same issues. I'll be taking mine back!
