Completely standard product, nothing remarkable.

As is clear from my whining in the Disadvantages, the main cant is the unstable, unpredictable operation of the bluetooth connection. Still dissatisfied with the distance of the bluetooth. For me, the standard in this regard is headphones (AirPods and Sony), which allow you to walk around the apartment without breaking the connection with the phone.
Wife has an Apple Watch. Practically does not wear them because of the need to charge every one and a half days. Watch is always discharged at the most inopportune moment. Garmin also allows you to forget about the outlet for a few days, which in our age of gadgets is a huge relief. But damn. if the Apple Watch can ever hold a charge for at least 4 days, I'll skip running to them from Garmin.
﻿

Pros

- I charge every 5 days, from 10% to 100% - a little more than an hour - Lightweight and wearable, you can sleep without taking off your watch - Phone notifications (view only) work instantly - Good selection of watch faces, widgets - 90% accuracy of building tracks in the city - The application, although with features, is generally pleasant, quite informative. Able to transfer data to the Health program (not to Channel One, but to iOS). Almost correctly monitors sleep.

Cons

- Works in conjunction with the iPhone XR. The connection falls off several times a day. Reconnects after turning off / on the bluetooth on the phone or opening the Garmin Connect application. Moreover, the watch can disconnect at a distance of as much as 30 cm from the phone, then connect itself (or not, as you're lucky). - The distance of the bluetooth, in general, when it works, is a bit short. Meters on 10 beats. On the street, this is not critical, but in the apartment it pisses me off. You move away from the phone, let's say from the room to the kitchen, the clock is disconnected from the phone, they let you know about it by vibration, you wave your hand in the direction of the room in the kitchen - they connect again, and after a second - disconnect again. Damn mother! - The pedometer is unrealistic, or, if in a scientific way, stupid. Lots of false counts. I played with my child for an hour on the controller on the console, jerked my hand in excitement - clap, the daily norm was completed in steps. - The software is ated regularly, yes. But I did not notice a single improvement, including in the work of GPS. The presence of clouds in the sky both at the beginning of the purchase and after the ates still prevents the start of tracking.
