Reviews around price (3.58 of 5)

  • However its very expensive which is why I ended up returning it, just couldn't justify its price to keep it.
  • Better price and has more features that better suit me.
  • That being said for the negatives this watch has the features I wanted at a good price:- Sleep quality/quantity- Blood
  • Of course, the window to return the item has passed, but I would not recommend I'd you're looking to use the swim feature.
  • It's slimmer which is better for CrossFit and it there's a pretty significant price difference

Reviews around product (3.39 of 5)

  • I bought my Garmin Vivoactive 4 and is far better product that Fitbit, and the app
  • I would glowingly recommend it to everyone that wants a well made product!
  • I bought this on the recommendations of some coworkers and coughed up the $299 because I like Garmin products.
  • I had a night where I kept waking up all the time, but it showed me sleeping the whole time.— Proprietary charging cable instead of usb-c
  • As it's more difficult to find decent wireless headphones that are comfortable than a fitness watch, I will likely be returning this product

Reviews around track (3.27 of 5)

Reviews around garmin (3.17 of 5)

  • Very clean modern look, not as tacky as some of the pricier Garmin models.
  • In the end, the unreliable Garmin watch died when no position would get it to chargeThe band is impossible to keep clean
  • If cell service is terrible, your Garmin will freeze and stop tracking.
  • Garmin has a good market on GPS devices, and this watch hangs in there with the best.
  • If looking to buy a watch for music, I'd recommend not using a Garmin.

Reviews around skin (2.23 of 5)

  • I have sensitive skin so developed a mild rash on my wrist.
  • I loved the watch but had to return it because the metal on the band gave me a skin rash (I do NOT have sensitive skin).
  • It make sense that a darker color skin will absorb more light and less light will be received by the sensor on the phone, which means low signal to noise ratio and low accuracy
  • One issue I had is that the silicone band was irritating my skin
  • I really like the style of it, however I cannot wear it for sleep tracking because it irritates my skin

Reviews around calory (1.59 of 5)

  • Sometimes the faster run will say I burned FEWER calories because I ran for less time
  • It does not know how stressed you are, or how many calories you burned or how many breaths you take in a momute
  • One day I ran with my phone and my watch--with my Strava app tracking on my phone--and Strava said I burned 100 more calories than the watch said
  • I've always thought that I burn roughly 100 calories per mile, which would mean I'd burned closer to 40
  • Even after a full charge right out of the box it is nowhere near as fast as I would expect

Reviews around window (1.00 of 5)

  • Missed the return window by 3 days - so no help there except to keep me on the chat window for over 1/2 hour to tell me I missed the window

  • Of course, the window to return the item has passed, but I would not recommend I'd you're looking to use the swim feature.
  • Highly inaccurate heart rate and screen resolution is poor.
  • The screen resolution is poor, don't expect to see sharp display, you can even increase the brightness to the maximum or top level and you still don't get a sharp display screen, always a kind of blurry display in the back.without using the GPS battery can last 6 days, I have messages and the music is
  • Also, the screen resolution is poor - nowhere close to the crisp graphics shown online.
