 I had to create a new account to even pair this device, and lost 4 years of data as a result. I regret buying this, as my 235 was as good as, if not better, than the 745. The only improvements are the battery life, which is remarkable, and the quality and feel of the strap and tang buckle. The function, however, is not recommended

I’ve owned and trained with Garmin producers for the last 15 years. I am more and more disappointed with what they offer. Be advised that the wrist based HRM is wildly inaccurate. As an accurate heart rate drives other data on the device, that is compromised as well

A Bitter Disappointment

Recently bought a Forerunner 745 having come from a Samsung Gear Sport. Garmin are leagues ahead (at least with my requirements). Notifications - just see, read, dismiss - perfect.

This is great. I've been wanting to replace my  vivosport for a while, and recently switched to iPhone so was considering their watches. But your are correct about Garmin interface. I may just upgrade with Garmin. Plenty more research to do though.

Thanks for this info. I’m new to smart watches and Garmin is my first one. I had a bit of FOMO, wondering if Android watches were better, but this makes me feel good about my decision to go Garmin!

The only thing I really want is the ability to pull my data via an API like Fitbit. I want to chart my heartrate, my steps, etc in a program outside of Garmin and it doesn't seem that's possible as the dev program isn't open to casuals and there's not other API available. 

Fitbit has this for example: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/explore/

I've been an Android/WearOS user for a LONG time, and watched as the platform has grown and changed (or stagnated, whatever). I recently got a Garmin Fenix 6X, and while I was duly blown away by the fitness features, one thing I DIDN'T expect was how good the Garmin was a smartwatch device.

I'm not talking about super deep integration with my phone or even CIQ apps, but some of the basics just blow "traditional" smart watches out of the water. Two of the most obvious are widget glances, and the level of customization/integration in the OS.

1. Widgets, especially the "Widget Glances" interface, are awesome. WearOS lets you download apps, but the basic platform is just watchface, and app list. If you want a compass, you have to start an app. If you want to see the sunset time, you have to get another app, with a different interface, for that. It's just cumbersome. With the Fenix, all of these useful sensors/metrics/data are right there, and with the Glances interface, they update in real-time in a single scrollable list. I can see the weather, sunrise-sunset time, a real-time compass/altimeter/baro/heart rate, steps, activity, sleep, etc. Without having to go in and out of separate apps. It's just so useful, and the way it's integrated into the OS makes it seem like plain table stakes for a smartwatch. I never thought I'd care about sunrise/sunset time, but now that it's so easily accessible, I'm checking it regularly.
2. Customization. Whereas I'm kind of used to the trend of Apple and Google to pull back options to avoid "confusing users," Garmin takes the other path. You can change just about everything. Screen backlight in 10% increments, per-setting toggles in battery saver and activity tracking modes, you can pretty much do everything you want. What's more, these are often integrated into widgets. The watch knows when the sun sets, so you get the option to activate the backlight only after sunset. The watch knows when you go to sleep, so you can set DND or backlight or vibration when sleep time rolls around. It just works well.

And I like that in Garmin Connect app, the heart rate from the watch is displayed real-time. I always hated how Google Fit only had HR snapshots, and that the granularity of those snapshots was like half-hour chunks, even if the watch was capable of continuous HR tracking.

I'm just surprised that a watch that takes "smartwatch functions" as second priority to fitness tracking does some smartwatch stuff so much better than dedicated smartwatches. I can't get over how much I love the F6X.

Garmin just kicking butt at being smartwatches

I've had my 745 for 6 weeks and used it in 2 triathlons.  I really like all the features and apps and utility but my battery life is underwhelming.  In it's current state, I will not get 4 hours during an event.  I actually think I would like the 955 better as it's just a little bigger and has solar backup

Awesome sports data device.

 There are much cheaper similar watches on the market. In my opinion, Garmin resembles a kind of bully schoolboy strong and agile, but always lagging behind in technology. Verdict, it is better to buy either a cheaper analog, or more expensive than the Apple giant.

Honest Review

 I tried to manually update several times each day with no success. I also deleted the app and reinstalled it and it didn't update correctly. The variance has been 30-50 % off on the app. Difficult to use the watch/app when it's not accurate

Update 6/27/2022: I have been closely monitoring the step counts because they never seem to be correct. In the past week, 6 out of the 7 days the step count from my watch did not match the count shown on the app. I tried to manually update several times each day with no success. I also deleted the app and reinstalled it and it didn't update correctly

Not very accurate app

The award-winning Suunto Core comes in a range of stylish design options, packing easy-to-use outdoor functions in a robust construction. Combining an altimeter, barometer and compass with weather information, Suunto Core provides the essential features for adventures in the great outdoors. Designed to bring out the explorer in you.

OutdoorGearLab

The Suunto Core Alu is a classic ABC watch designed to get the basics right. It tracks total ascent and descent and offers both barometer and altimeter graphs, a compass, and a reliable, long-lasting battery. You won't be worried if you take this on a multi-day or even a multi-month mission. 
It's not filled with as many features as the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus and doesn't include a GPS. We also wish that the altitude and barometer graphs were a little sleeker. If you are looking for something a little more affordable, opt for the traditional Core, which costs a lot less. Despite its drawbacks, we figure that an altimeter watch should do one thing well—measure altitude—and that's something the Core Alu does.  

Switchback Travel

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar above is a modern sports watch complete with GPS support and smart features, but not everyone needs such a complex design (or wants to pay for it). For the best in ABC functionality without additional bells and whistles, it doesn’t get much better than the Suunto Core. Priced at $250, the Core offers top-notch accuracy with a premium barometric altimeter and packs in an impressive lineup of features, including sunset and sunrise times for more than 400 locations, alerts of changing pressure or disappearing daylight, and a seven-day altitude log for hikers. Tack on a sleek minimalist design and a wide variety of optional colors, and the Suunto Core is a true everyday multifunction watch.

The Suunto Core has been on the market for a number of years, and in that time users have seen a couple issues crop up. First, the band doesn’t always hold up well under heavy use, and a replacement piece will run you around $61 (or cheaper for a knock-off). Second, despite the large screen, some find the black background and white text difficult to read in sunlight. And finally, the Core is far from the cheapest option here—you can save money with watches like the Pro Trek PRG-270 and Lad Weather Master Sensor below, and even the GPS-equipped COROS Pace 2 is more affordable at $200. But for the best combination of quality, functionality, and durability, the Suunto Core is our favorite non-GPS altimeter watch of the year.See the Suunto Core

 The Amazon.com main image might have you think the display is a purple hue, but it is gray at all angles.  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch

 The watch needs to be removed for an accurate reading. • A tad bulky on thin wrists (not really a con, just worthy of noting for those who have smaller wrists) • Alti/Baro log review is limited by style of display. If this is a critical feature to you, I'd consider GPS watches • You can only set a single alarm. This is also such a huge oversight

  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch.

Attractive, functional watch – with needed improvements. Please rate, if helpful.

 At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery. Water resistance is decent, but no where near my Casio Mudman 9300, which was half the price and put up with a LOT more abuse. Granted, the Mudman does not have an alti/baro function, but for me those are more of a want vs. need

I was hoping to love this, but a few things bother me. The good: comfortable to wear, accurate instruments for a watch, sleek look, intuitive menus (subjective) The bad: battery life, prone to scratches/damage if used for its' intended outdoor purpose, fairly dim display even when backlit. At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery.

Good watch with some shortcomings.

 Plus I go swimming daily in the in-ground pool with the watch on without issue. The band is holding up good as new, the face of the watch has no scratches, and all of the buttons work perfectly. After three months of everyday use I have zero complaints about the watch. Glad I bought it

I've been wearing this watch for three months now. It works exactly as advertised to this point. I live in Florida and like to keep an eye on the weather when outside. The barometer function mirrors my home weather station closely

Excellent Watch

 The altimeter is a bit complicated and requires input to calibrate on a regular basis. Temperature appears to be biased by being on your arm and is not ambient. These are no big deals for me, i am enjoying the watch, and it is very comfortable to wear.

very comfortable watch

 The watch itself is fantastic, The watchband is very comfortable and the features are fairly easy to figure out. Very cool design and a watch I plan to have for years to come. Just be prepared to have to hound the shipping company every step of the way.

I'm stationed in Afg and had previously ordered a watch from Amazon but it was lost, so I was a bit nervous about ordering another one. The shipping company was Pier 18 and they were late in shipping it out and 3 days after the shipping date cited by Amazon I had to send a reminder email to them, but after that I got the watch in less than 2 weeks.

 Even without the button problem battery life is just less than a year. Looking for a new watch. I've not babied this watch but I've not pushed it too hard either. I think Suunto can do better than this

 I've not babied this watch but I've not pushed it too hard either. I think Suunto can do better than this. Just looked at their website the model has been largely superseded. Cannot recommend to purchase
