Thanks for taking the time to help us not so tech savvy people out. I just got this watch today and this video will be very helpful figuring out what it does. Is there anyway to change the colours of the face or is it just the black and white inversion options. I guess it is a sports watch not a fashion piece. Thanks again for making this video ☺️

Thank you so much for your reviews on this great-looking watch. I own the Fenix 3 HR but over the years it has slowed down quite of bit. and I was in the market for a new watch, one that's more responsive quicker and lighter. for the summer hiking and fishing trips. As I've been reviewing more of your videos I can see this watch can be use for more than just fishing and hiking and working out. It also fits perfect in the workplace with all the information it provides. And also the lightweight plays a big factor I will be receiving mine tomorrow really looking forward to it. You have definitely earned my subscribe. And hope you get many more. Keep up with all this great information and thanks again!

Thank you for this review! Someone might have mentioned it, Dog Track works with other Garmin devices, in my case the Astro 430 GPS and T5 collars for your dogs. It allows you to get your dogs information without having to take out your Astro 430, you can see how far your dogs are away, in which directions, and hopefully whether or not the dogs are on point or moving. It's why I ordered the watch, and I'm here to see what else it can do, thanks again.

Great watch- but if you are a dog hunter and run Garmin trackers, don't expect that you can leave your Alpha/Astro etc. at home and use this as a replacement. You'll need to have the handheld in Bluetooth distance- so essentially in your pocket- and in that case, might as well use the handheld instead of the watch.

Good video. My only suggestion would be to more clearly verbalize what button you are pushing to, for example, "go back" to a previous screen or home screen would be nice. I found myself going back to see which button you pressed when. I'm finding that "muscle memory" is the key to mastering this watch - knowing which buttons will back out of something that you don't want to do - which buttons move up and down, etc. Anyway, thanks.

good review except for one thing: I don't connect my watch to my phone, and it's not at all clear from your video as to which functions are available via phone link and which are not; you should have divided your video into two distinct sections -- one with connection to your phone, and one without. Also, in your sections when you flip through Systems settings, you go too fast in terms of which buttons you're pushing on the sides of the watch in order to get to each feature and to set each feature up; it's not obvious, looking at my watch, and it's easy to get lost (and can be hard to get back to Square 1). Also, it it nice that you answered comments/questions here up until about four months ago (i.e., August 2022), but none since then... I bought this watch new this year, so it's still available, and answers to questions would still be valuable. (I know, I know: you get what you pay for...) And I'm totally shocked that his video has had 629k views! I'm shocked that so many people would have either bought this watch or seriously considered buying it; that's a LOT.
