Good but lacking

on September 23, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes

As a stand alone watch, this would be a great piece, but as a smart watch it's lacking and does not work quite right with iOS. Great battery life, averaging 6.5 days with notifications and activity tracking on. Waypoint and tracking was accurate the few times I tested it. I would not call this a smart watch, however. It would send Twitter notices and calls, but not test messages, and would sometimes not send anything then go crazy as it received them. The step tracking also seemed WAY off. I'd walk around a little in the morning in the house and would register 1200-2000 steps. I guarantee this was not accurate as I began counting some steps. Average was 300-500, so not sure where these extra came from. When I was cooking, making small steps around my work area, it would register nothing and tell me to move. It appears typing also triggered it sometimes. The other thing I was really disappointed was the screen was very hard to see. I scrolled through 30+ faces to get one that I could easily see and non-were good in bright light as claimed. The watch is very rugged and had no issues while swimming. After contacting Garmin, they have confirmed some features won't function 100% with iOS. If I were an android user I'd give this one another shot, but I am an iPhone person so until some features are more seamless I'll stick to other watches.
Pros:
waterproof to 100m
rugged
great battery life
great sleep tracker
very comfortable bands
Cons:
activity/step tracking was off
no option (with iOS) to select which notifications come through and were intermittent as which ones worked
