Disappointing
I have been using Garmin watches for a decade and trust me when I tell you to save your money with this one. I had the original Vivoactive (the square one) and loved it. I had the Vivoactive 3 and for the first 6 months it was super glitchy, but it got better... until a software update caused the battery life to drop to less-than-half its previous life. So I figured I'd upgrade to this one. This stupid watch is CONSTANTLY unpairing from my phone, and will only re-pair when I do every troubleshooting step multiple times. (Picture me deleting the watch from the phone and the phone from the watch, and then turning the watch and phone off at the same time, turning them on at the same time, over and over, until it finally pairs. Every day.) The screen is super vibrant... but then it only comes with a couple of pretty watch faces, and the prettiest one (the one from the main pictures) isn't customizable. What a waste! Also just an added annoyance is the "dark grey" watch is blue. Definitely not grey. I am incredibly unimpressed with this watch. It will be going back and I guess I'll just use the constantly-dying VA 3 until I find something better.
