Disgusting, dissatisfied with the purchase.

For 2 weeks of using GPS, I caught it only once right away (and even then at that moment there was a connected phone with GPS turned on), on another run 20 minutes after the start and on another run 40 minutes later. About 30 more trainings and test signal searches were failed.
No matter how I tried to find a location to start training or to save in navigation, I never succeeded: neither in the house, nor in the forest, nor in open areas, nor on a dangling arm, nor on a frozen screen in the sky. Since they were bought for autonomous runs, this is the most critical and important point. I tried to ate, roll back to the standard settings and reset to the factory settings - the result is the same. I bought it in the official store, carried it back. I will supplement the review based on the results of the examination and consideration of the application for a refund.
: The marriage was recognized, but the official Garmin store does not return the money, demanding new pieces of paper, rewriting applications and other things.
2: The money was returned.

Pros

- Garmin Pay - very convenient - A good pedometer, accurately determines the distance (it will be clear later why this is important) - A sufficient number of preset workouts

Cons

- The complexity of the interface (it takes a few days to figure out how to use it all, here is the application interface) - Autonomy (they never lasted longer than three days, the brightness is moderate, training on average every other day) - GPS (expanded in the comments)
