### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant - I love this watch
*by P***R on 2 August 2024*

I couldn’t be happier with this product. It’s been a part of every day for the last three months. Having gotten back into training and physical fitness, this watch has been brilliant. It really keeps me motivated and gives me some good insights into watch I’m doing. Garmin app works brilliantly and syncs data quickly. It also connects to other fitness apps I’m using so I can collate and see my data together. The watch itself is compact and easy to use. You really can’t go too far wrong if you’re looking for something to track steps, sleep, heart rate, calories and your exercise whether that be running, treadmill, swimming etc. I charge this once a week and set recordings for events lately at a minimum for 5 days for week. For me this was a good priced smart watch for the functions. I would’ve liked a resistance/weight training recording option but I choose other for this. For my first smart watch this has been a winner. I will definitely go for a higher ranged garmin product in a few years but for now this is a very good starting point. It’s brilliant. The only thing which I would say, is I’m not sure how accurate the sleep recording is. On a couple of occasions I’ve noticed that I’m asleep according the watch data, when in fact I have been awake. Overall, if you’re looking for a starter fitness watch or buying your first, I’d recommend this to you.
