" ... I enjoyed the watch for a year before it started failing pretty hard. ... "
" ... It is now September 2018 (again, 11 months later! ... "
" ... I gave it a month. ... "
" ... Now, after only 2 years of owning it, it has completely died and is inoperable. ... "
" ... I wore this for 2 months and it stopped working. ... "
" ... It has never updated correctly and is now officially dead. ... "
" ... I CANNOT recommend a product that quits working after less than a year, especially since it has spent the better part of 6 months in a drawer. ... "

" ... I only swim and shower. ... No diving, no scuba, no snorkeling. ... It's never been more than two feet underwater, and yet this swimmer's watch has failed THREE TIMES! ... This watch is made for swimming! ... How could ordinary swimming hurt it, over and over? ... HTF could sweat or chlorine affect a watch made for swimming? ... "
" ... Odd that it has a swimming app and claims to be waterproof. ... "
" ... The water resistance is fraudulent. ... I wanted to use the watch for swimming in the ocean and to my demise it shorted out! ... "
" ... It shut off while swimming and now it will not turn back on. ... "
" ... Had the watch for a month and the first time I went in water it glitched out and was fried. ... "
" ... I used it for running, walking, hiking, cycling, and swimming. ... "
" ... The watch is supposed to be water proof but water got into it while swimming. ... "

" ... Pros: Fit is nice, easy to use, simple to log activities and work outs, Garmin connect app is awesome to review all the data from workouts, sleep times and more. ... "
" ... The Garmin Connect app is probably one of the best features. ... It integrates with Lifesum and Strava through Apple Health etc. ... "
" ... New app is way better than the old one. ... "
" ... Garmin Express will allow you to setup an account, Sync your watch and install the many clock faces, apps, etc . ... Finally, install the Garmin Connect app on your phone for daily Syncs. ... "
" ... Love this Garmin, my third different Garmin fitness watch, everyone has been better than the previous one I had, this has so many features, that at my age with arthritis, I'll never use them all, but love it. ... "
" ... Now I just look at my phone first as it is always fastest to update then hit the Garmin app and sync my phone before using it. ... "
" ... At first, I really enjoyed the watch and the various exercise programs you can choose from. ... "
" ... I run, bike and play golf, so all of the built-in apps were perfect for me. ... "

" ... swim tracking is accurate. ... "
" ... i do like that i am motivated to reach the goals i have set in the watch so i walk more than i would normally just to reach the goal. ... "
" ... As a general purpose fitness tracker, this does a pretty good job. ... You then have to go in and edit the activity to Swim and manually enter the yards or meters completed. ... "
" ... The combination of the watch and the fitness program and its ability to set goals and help you follow through on them is the real genius of this watch. ... "
" ... it's pretty accurate with the steps and the distance . ... "
" ... I run and/or walk every day it it tracks my steps and distance very accurately i feel compared to several of the FitBits I have had. ... "
" ... Overall I like it as a watch and step counter. ... "
" ... This watch/tracker is the best for biking. ... I could bike 15 miles and end up with 2,000 steps for that day :( ... "
