Good watch, never paired with Garmin Express via USB

Overall great part, GPS and optical HRM are on top. Pairs easily with Garmin pedometers and bike speed sensors. Battery life is good but suffers badly when using GPS. The main complaint is that my device was NEVER connected to my PC via a USB connection, not a Garmin Express, and was never able to recognize it as a mass storage device for downloading music. Tried EVERYTHING Garmin has to offer for troubleshooting. Power cycling, different USB ports, USB driver updates and rollbacks, putting the device in mass storage mode. NOTHING makes my device discoverable on my PC via USB. Standard Lenovo workstation running Win 10 and the latest version of Garmin Express. Looks damn stupid for a top-end $500 device.

Pros
