Design: Sleek and especially light, screen is very good and responds well. Battery: Very good, can be used for about 10 days under normal use with notifications. Compatibility: The google assistant can only be activated on Samsung if you remove Bixby on your phone, this is very cumbersome (Android debug bridge needed). Furthermore, not compatible with Google fit and very few apps. I miss the link with a wattage meter for spinning. You can link this to the Fenix, I hope a software update will add this, you can't train in zones now. App: In itself a great app with many possibilities. I miss the collaboration with other apps Defect: I had to send the watch back and am waiting for a new one. The screen went completely black when trying to finish a workout. The watch was still connected but could not be used or reset and was not responding at all. Calling and notifications: Calling works well, the sound is good and the other end can hear me just fine. You can set everything you want to be notified of via the app. Software: It is best to make real adjustments via the app, which is a bit inconvenient for the watch itself. In general, I find the software somewhat limited and less intuitive than with a gear/apple. There is a limited number of apps to install due to limited memory.

It is a very nice watch and I am very happy with it. I think the design is much nicer than the previous watches that Garmin has released. The clock is quite large, so perhaps less elegant on a small wrist. The watch measures many sports and measurements are also accurate compared to my chest heart rate strap and cycling computer. Only on the bike does it measure less accurately due to the position of your wrist. The watch gives you the option to download more data fields and screens from the app, allowing you to customize the look to your liking. The ability to play music on the watch works well, the built-in speaker is also reasonable and connection to wireless headphones is flawless. Connecting to spotify/deezer for the first time is a frustrating experience, but in the end it worked. The voice assist is not an added value, while I had hoped it would. He has to connect to your phone for this and this often takes a long time (30 seconds). To turn on the lights with google home, for example, you have to unlock your phone again. So I wouldn't buy the watch specifically for this function.
The price is also a disadvantage, it is a lot more expensive than the Venu 2. But I thought this was much nicer, so that's why this choice.
Overall very happy with the watch!

Super nice watch and it has many health options. Great for running, walking and cycling. Screen is clear and very legible.
