I bought the watch as one of the cheapest ways to get into the Garmin world. For the price I was disappointed by the processing of the watch. I have tried even more expensive versions and therefore Garmin in the quality of processing and software lags behind the competition. It seems to me that it's more about the persistence of the past years. Nevertheless, the watch does exactly what it is designed to do. They have accurate, if a little slower, GPS. They are suitable mainly for running, but they can also handle other sports. The only thing I personally miss is the "trail run" option, which is found in the higher models; and more accurate sleep monitoring (at least the beginning and end could be fixed somehow).
They look beautiful.
Alza sells a hardened case that fits almost perfectly and also a nylon bracelet.
They are light and do not show on the hand.
MIPs display looks great in the sun.
I support the Garmin couch.
Possibility to download additional functions via Connect IQ.
Terribly annoying "tips" how to use the watch. They should only appear for a short time after the clock is reset, but I get them twice a day.
The buttons rattle a bit and are inaccurate. One has to be careful not to squeeze them completely.
When navigating in the menu, the backlight flashes occasionally even though it is completely off in the settings.
Incredibly inaccurate for sleep monitoring. It's not just that they can't accurately record the individual phases (deep error completely), they can't even hit the beginning and end of the sleep. "Chinese" watches for a fraction of the price have known this for years (i.e. the beginning and the end. sleep phases are also inaccurate).
They don't have a "trail run".

Second experience with a Garmin watch. Again, they sit perfectly on the hand, they are not felt in any way. Compared to the previous fr35, they have soaked sports functions, I don' t even understand everything. Finally, they also have a stopwatch and a timer. The alarm clock can also be set from the application. But - the display is a tragedy, I can' t read anything, the colors are washed out, the font is tiny and lacks contrast, if they had kept the black and white display from the fr35 and the same font, great, the case is also 42 mm in diameter, but the display is only 25 mm. There are a lot of dials from the store, but two are usable, or paid for. The strap is short again, my wrist is 21 cm, the buckle is somewhere on the side of my hand plus the last hole, I don' t understand, I don' t have a big hand. otherwise it is of the 20 mm quick release type. I didn' t want to wear glasses because of the watch, I returned it, too bad, I really liked it.
they sit perfectly on the hand, they are not felt
