Review: Perfect workout/activity smart watch with spotify usability - Great bit of kit, plays my spotify list, tracks my activities and does everything i want. Would recommend. Worth the money and feels very light compared to my last one.
Review: If you’re thinking of replacing your Apple Watch, do it. - Absolutely love my Garmin - beats an Apple Watch every time. The battery life, the accuracy, the insights, and just the simplicity of it. The app isn’t amazing but I don’t care too much about that tbh. So long as it’s usable and helps keep me on track that’s the main thing. The battery life really is a game changer, I only have to charge it once every 10-14 days.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great watch
*by C***R on 9 January 2026*

I love my Garmin watch. I have been using over a year now. I charge it every 5-6 days. It’s sturdy and ergonomic. I used to have Apple Watch and l will not go back Apple Watch. I am quite energetic doing lots of activities. It records everything l need. Easy to integrate. Big enough display. I like it over all. I recommended my cousin who also bought and she liked it.
