There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
If you have the budget for a sapphire crystal lens, I would very much recommend getting it. Definitely go for it! You are very likely for hit doorways, desks, car doors and etc with your watch when wearing it all day long. I've seen people complain about the glass getting scratched a week after purchasing the watch.
The watch interface is sometimes too complex, with too many options. You will have to go through a lot of menus and press the buttons a lot of times to get the settings right. But most settings can be done through the Connect app on your phone, so it's not a big deal. I have seen a guy say the watch connectivity is not reliable, but I have not had this problem whatsoever. If I leave my phone in my room and go to the kitchen, it displays "disconnected". As soon as I return to my room, it says "connected". No problem at all. Sync with connect app works just fine, nothing to complain.
I have not tried navigation yet, but managed to install better maps for my region quite easily. Just google installing maps and you'll see that it is quite easy.
As for the watch features, here goes my reviews:
-Battery duration is awesome, in my opinion. I leave the 24/7 wrist heart rate monitor on and the battery last for more than 10 days.
-GPS + Glonass setting works very fine, although I don't seem to see any difference between GPS only
-Garmin Pay does not work in my country (no banks support it), so if this feature is what makes you choose a watch, check compatibility beforehand. There is a link in garmin's website.
-Pulseox meter seems kinds useless if you are not hiking big altitudes, which is my case. So I just leave it off for battery saving.
-Spotify compatibility works fine, but I had a little trouble connecting my wireless earbuds. Had to go to a place with little signal interference (away from other bluetooth devices, wireless networks and specially my phone), Only then the watch successfully connect to the earbuds.
-Original Garmin watch faces are great and very customizable. Connect IQ Store also offers a big variety of watch faces.
-As for running/activity tracking, I don't think there is any better equipment. It give you tons of metrics (steps, calories, all-day heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels, all-day stress levels, VO2 max, Lactate threshold, weight tracking, sleep monitoring, training effect, performance condition and a lot more).
-Smart notifications are handy if you like them. You can see who is calling you, read messages, reply with pre-defined text. I don't think you can compare the smartwatch functionalities of a Apple Watch or Samsung smartwatch, but overall, they are fine. This watch is made for sports, not smartwatch stuff. I turned the notifications off because they bother me all day long, only left call notification on when I'm running, if I happen to be with my phone, of course.
-I have not tested the wrist heart rate monitor while exercising, I just use the heart rate monitor strap.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the watch. Would definitely recommend it, even though it is pricey. As someone said on his review "Pricey? Heck yeah. Worth every penny? YES - I can't recommend this watch enough. Eat beans for a month or two and get the watch.". This couldn't be more true.

GPS:
I haven’t noticed much difference in my GPS function between the 235 and 5x plus. The GPS is found slightly faster but that’s about it.
Maps:
I am in Africa and I have rudimentary maps on my device. I will be returning to the states in a few weeks and I will be able to test the North American maps at that time. In the mean time it’s good as an emergency device for me.
Music:
I have only used the music while I run outdoors and use my phone when I’m in the gym working out and on the treadmill, I do notice some drop off with my jay birds when they are initially paired but it goes away in a minute or two. I have also noticed that my Spotify playlist doesnt stay on the device if I switch over to my iTunes music and so I had to re sync the playlist to my device, not a deal breaker but just a nuanced thing about the device. Perhaps they will fix this over time with software updates.
Battery
7 days in and the battery is just under 40% which is good in my opinion, however I am curious to see how long it will last before the battery runs out. If it lasts 12-14 days I will be content with that, as it works with how I use the watch. I’ll have to take it off at some point I suppose. When I start training up for my aspiring Ultra running hobby I will see how the battery holds up over time, until then a few 10 milers and sprint workouts aren’t draining the battery too much.
Size:
I’m 5,7 and 170lbs I lift 4 times a week and run/ruck several miles a week, I’ve worn heavier items on my person than this watch. Was it heavier that my 235 yes and was it noticeable at first yes, but I got used to it after my first few days and now I barely notice it. Also I wear it on my day to day with t shirts, jeans and non running shoes or long sleeve shirt, pants and boots and it rarely looks out of place or bulky. I wouldn’t push it with business casual or a full suit but that’s my opinion.
I hope this helps someone, I am not a triathlete or marathoner, I’m just a regular guy who needs to workout to stay fit his job and gets to travel a lot so I think this device with its features fits the lifestyle.
