The Apple Watch activity feature is like

I actually find the iWatch targets way easier than my previous Garmin Fenix. Garmin is oh you walked 20km today? Let’s do a marathon tomorrow oh and drink 8liters of water for 4 hours!

Serious Flaw in the Golf App

There is a serious flaw in the golf app, which risks making the watch into a joke for serious golfers. Under “Hazards”, the software reports the nearest hazard first, including those that are behind me. Hazards that are not in the line of my intended target (the green) are not relevant and should no...

Upgrading from Fitbit to Garmin

They've held up, are incredibly functional, and look nice too. We both had apple watches before switching and I had a fitbit briefly. Hands down garmin wins.

Smaller watch face doesn't necessarily mean it fits smaller wrists

I was so excited to get this watch because I have small and narrow wrists and most sports watch faces are actually wider than my wrist, so they stick out on the sides. When I put on the 5S Plus, the watch band was the right length, which was great. However, the supports that attach the watch band to...

I second Garmin Fenix. I have a Fenix 5 and it does everything I could want. Great for Tri’s but also has everything I would want for skiing, hiking, etc. plus the general health tracking stats are interesting if your into that.

Beautiful watch and works great.

I love the watch and all the new technology but unfortunately, I have a small wrist and every time I ran the watch was hurting my bone wrist, so I need to returned. I recommend the watch for the ones have a big wrist.

Back to week two. 5 minute walks, 2 minute run intervals. I couldn't get it to go back, and I chatted with Garmin, and they told me they could not get it back. I was out of luck.

Not worth the money for features, disappointing battery and reliability

The watch was a splurge. While there are a ton a great features, I found the battery life to be less than published since Garmin will claim 14 days of battery life for the Fenix 5 plus series but when you read the fine print, that is for the biggest, most expensive version of their Fenix 5 plus line...

Are Fitbits even worth it anymore?

Mine lasted a bit over a year. Then I decided to invest in something better quality. The Garmin Fenix is beautiful and seems more mature than the Fitbit. Training metrics are so much better. You get what you pay for.

For those looking at the photo, I have pretty big wrists and you can see the watch is still quite large. I really love the aesthetic of the tracker! The features are great and the activity tracker thus far is pretty accurate. The battery life has been phenomenal on my unit- I’ve been using it for 3 ...
