Revainrating 3 out of 5

I wasn't thrilled with the product, but it can be used.

Pros: - Shockproof. I constantly beat for hours on different surfaces (walls, furniture). For all time only one small chip. -Protection from water. Can be used in the pool as a stopwatch, watch the time in the shower. -Show time. -Long battery life. -Beautiful (I have completely black; subjective) Cons: - A year and 3 months later, a defect appeared on the screen - a white spot. Work does not interfere, but spoils the impression. I did not take it in the official store, therefore it is not subject to warranty (officials have a 2-year warranty) -Inconvenient to pay using GarminPay. You must first hold down the button on the watch (3 seconds), then press the button on the screen, then enter the PIN. PIN has to be entered more than once a day, but how lucky. Sometimes the watch remembers that you recently entered your PIN. Sometimes they don't remember even after 15 minutes. Only then can you pay. It is almost always really faster to get a card out of your wallet. Often, a “service is temporarily unavailable” error occurs on the watch, so not taking a wallet is also not an option. - Poorly count the number of swimming pools. For some reason, there are no problems with crawl. Breaststroke usually does not count 2 pools when you swim a set of 8-10 pools. Maybe it's because I swim wrong, but I can't do it better. - Cannot connect a pool heart rate monitor. -Poor heart rate monitor, even at rest. I go - the clock shows 130 strokes. I measure the pulse with my hand - 100 beats. In the hall, the situation is reversed. You walk between sets, the watch shows a pulse of 120. You measure it with your hand - 150. I understand that for sports you need to buy a heart rate monitor, but I expected normal measurements at least in a relatively calm state (walking) - Poorly measures the passed floors. It often happens that you ride a bus uphill in the morning to work, and the clock beeps: "congratulations, you climbed 10 floors today" - "Smart" chips are not used. Maybe it's me, or maybe because it's uncomfortable
