Nothing unusual, a normal product.

Garmin Pay is supported by only one or two banks (Rife and some others), there is not much point in this.
There is also no point in the touch side of the case, it is more convenient to move your finger across the screen.
I bought it as an office watch (to look good with smart casual) for notifications with the possibility of training and an everyday tracker. As a result, it turned out that they perform their main (for me) function poorly. Apparently, you won’t leave the office smart watch model like pebble and a separate good watch for fitness and classes yet, but you hoped so.

Pros

Fitness functions, as always with Garmin, are on top, everything is accurate, sleep tracks perfectly. An excellent application in which almost any statistic. A single ecosystem, where even Garmin scales are connected, it is very convenient to track your parameters, seeing the whole picture. Excellent protection against water, swam in the sea, no problem. The glass is not scratched by sand, there is not even a hint for 2 weeks of wallowing on the beach. Excellent display, almost always everything is visible even without backlight. With a black headband and strap, they look great. They really work (with HR, but without training) for about 4-5 days, but you need your own wire (for Ali 400, relatives for 3000) Very light and compact

Cons

Very weak Bluetooth. At first I suffered so that the phone would not fall off (that is, so that the phone would not put the Garmin Connect application, without which nothing works, into sleep), I set it up. Then the falling off began due to moving around the apartment - just go to another room, bam - Disconnected. You return to the room - Connected. You can turn off connection notifications, but then you can skip calls. Sleep mode on the phone (Huawei Mate 10) does not mean anything for the watch - you need to set your own on it, otherwise the emails will get out at night. Sometimes notifications from some applications reach, sometimes they don’t (when the phone is connected!). The Garmin Connect app shows statistics only when there is an Internet connection. With a weak Internet, the clock is not synchronized, it gives an error. Not enough informative (and not beautiful) skins. I want to have steps, date, battery, pulse and clock - there is no such skin! Walking with all this and a digital watch (pictured) To turn on the backlight, you need to wave the clock, pressing the button (which would be logical) in the middle of the screen, the lock symbol (blocking from pressing) Well, they are expensive. But this is not a fee for hours, but more for software, and it's cool.
