My review is based on observations after one month of ownership. I'm not a typically active person, so I don't need to monitor my exercises, but I really like the statistics about my body (sleep, bpm, etc.). I owned a simple health monitor and decided to upgrade to a decent start watch with the parameters I need. I tried 2 other brands of watches (AmazeFit and Huawei) but they didn't meet my expectations. I was skeptical about this watch because I don't see many products of Garmin to be popular.Anyway, my watch arrived and I was pleasantly surprised with its appearance, the app and its menus are not perfect I would admit, but one could manage to get to the point that what is displayed on the screen is acceptable. One very annoying thing that was the most apparent from the get-go is the alarm, it rang at 6 AM, and though the screen suggests that the top button will turn it off and the bottom will snooze it, in reality, both buttons could only snooze the alarm, so after a couple of irritating hours with 30 snooze cycles I contacted Garmin Customer Support at around 1 PM. At this time I felt that I would like to return the watch, but since I've returned 2 other watches I really wanted this one to work so I could stop researching what to buy and learn a new manual every 2 weeks. Customer service was helpful but instead of resolving the canceling and snoozing the alarm I got to the point where I could turn off the alarm from the clock menu with the only caveat that later you have to remember to turn the alarm back on or it work the next time. I did reset the watch and charged it completely as the CS person suggested, but nothing changed. At this point, I wanted to give it 3-4 more days to see how I feel with the device and I was determined that most likely I will return the watch. A couple of days later by mistake, I figure out that if I hold the touch screen with a moist finger (it works around 40% of the time with a dry finger) and then press the top button the alarm will turn off, so I finally thought that I have a watch that I would use in the next couple years because I got used to it.Unfortunately, after more than one month (1 month and 3 days), I noticed that my watch has paint chips already, so I don't like it as much anymore :) I'm not very active, I'm an engineer that mostly writes on a computer, I didn't put this device on a test, instead it was cover under my sleeves and turns out that the black coating on the metal is not galvanized but painted instead and the paint could come off easily. I don't know how much more durable the other watches are, but I don't find this very acceptable, but I have to stick with the device since I passed the window for return with 3 days. I guess the paint will continue stripping until it becomes a white metal watch with a black strip.In the end, I would say if you're going to use this watch in the woods only and don't care about aesthetics and how this device will look (look at the picture), this is a great watch. If you think you need a sleek smartwatch on your wrist during the day, I would suggest otherwise.2024 Update After one year of use I am quite happy with the watch. After a software update, the alarm issue was resolved. I'm used to this watch and can't imagine I could wear any other watch but Garmin. Overall very happy with the watch. The two things I wish were better, first thing is that if the battery lasts a little longer than 5-6 days when all monitoring is turned On, and second is the black paint on the rim chips easily.
