Best watch so far
I've used an MI band, a fitbit Versa 3 and Garmin 55 so far. And this is the best sports watch among the three. Accurate HR tracking, reliable GPS and a decent battery life. The build quality is durable. UI is absolutely basic, which I prefer for my watch. Sleep tracking is a bit off sometimes. The insights and metrics provided in the app are just so much better than any other option in this price range. All in all, a value for money product.

Good Battery life and Sturdy in quality.
The quality as expected, such a nice and product to track all of your workouts and activities. Battery life is so good. As i have been also using a Garmin Instinct, i am a big fan of Garmin watches. I would highly recommend anyone to buy and use it for tracking their workouts.

Great accuracy but needs to be more user-friendly
This is the second Garmin I bought after the vivoactive. I am mostly happy with it. It's light and does its job very accurately - measuring my running statistics and heart rate.Garmin's products are the best in terms of accuracy and are highly recommended for runners. I am not too convinced about it's ability to measure sleep tracking.The only issue is that it's not exactly user friendly to figure out the buttons etc. It can take some time getting used to if you compare it with a Fitbit. However this piece is far more rugged than a Fitbit. Most Garmin users will tell you that their Garmin lasted many years which is not the case with a Fitbit.Garmin is guilty of neglecting its Indian user base considering our huge population, I would expect better support and better offers catering to the Indian market. This void will soon be filled by its competitors.Overall this is still a good buy.

High Price very low features. One can get excellent smart watch in 14k.
Very low features...Even no touch at 14k. Battery life is horrible one day . Never buy

Great entry level GPS running watch
Used for six months.With regular use, battery lasted at least 4 days.Measures steps and distance accurately.Light weight.Metrics collected and data analysis on garmin connect app extensive.GPS takes time to connect.

Swim Mode
Everything is good but what was most important was that it was to be used for my daughters competitive swim practice. It doesn't show the swim Mode but you can use the plus sign and then add the swim Mode. It counts the laps, distance swolf and other imp parameters.

Works well, battery limitations!
It's good for running - light weight, always on, very readable, GPS connects very quickly! Navigation is reasonably intuitive and quick to master.The negatives: battery life is limited, good for one run, has to be re-charged for the next. Surprisingly, the battery fades even when the watch is switched off!Not sensitive enough for pace change, slow to respond. GPS doesn't connect well in tree lined avenues.Should you buy it? It's comparatively cheap, that should shut off a lot of nay-sayers!
