Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had 2 different versions of the Samsung smart/activity watches, the Samsung activity metrics were always wrong. So I got this Garmin watch, it was cheaper and the focus was more activity tracking over smart features. The Garmin Watch started out great and the health app was better than Samsung's. The smart features were also surprisingly good(displaying email, text and calls from my phone). The safety features are great allowing my husband to easily track my whereabouts in real time when I am out walking, hiking, or biking. But within weeks the watch started acting up. I went for a published 7 mile hike and my watch showed only 5 miles. I climbed 2 floors but the watch showed 10 floors. I climbed 20 floors and the watch showed 0 floors and needed to be reset and then restarted.... the watch congratulated me on achieving my water goal for the day when I had not logged any water yet for the day. I really love this watch and the app when it works but I am always having to reset the watch to factory defaults or uninstall and reinstall the app. Also the GPS seems weak, the signal takes a long time to connect and disconnects easily in wooded areas. At this point I have had the watch only about 1 month. The watch face scratched on day 1 which never happened in over 1 year on the Samsung watch. I still prefer this Garmin over the Samsung.
