The watch has a full set of various Garmin sensors and trackers, which, coupled with a good smartphone application, makes it extremely convenient and easy to learn. The screen in the case sits like a glove, is perfectly readable in the bright sun and can be controlled by gestures. Resistance to the external environment is added by water resistance, perfect fit of the elements.

The display of notifications from the smartphone works after the battery power is no longer enough for the smart filling to work. Of the conditional shortcomings, the illumination of the entire screen area before the appearance of the image is noted. The screen sizes do not allow displaying a sufficient amount of information, although the first ten displayed letters can be used to understand who is calling.

The MARQ Aviator will help amateur and professional pilots in their passion for flying. This is a unique watch with a built-in database of airports from around the world and complete map information about flight routes. There are also unique features: Direct-To, NEXRAD weather radar, the ability to integrate with Garmin aviation instruments.

Every time you take off, the clock shows you where you're going.

In addition, the device will notify you when you arrive at your final destination.The marks on the ceramic ring with a diameter of 46 mm are applied using a high-precision laser. The ring itself is assembled from a thin layer of metal and polished to a shine. Additionally, there is a view of the flight plan regarding the nearest airports, navigation signs and other aviation coordinates. Well, an ultra-accurate weather forecast includes wind conditions, visibility and other necessary data.

Universal smart watch Garmin Venu Sq is the choice for a modern city dweller who is active in everyday life. The device offers accurate measurement of health parameters, including heart rate and stress levels. And buyers especially like it for its discreet style, as well as unusual colors. There are also 20 training programs here, which also allow you to analyze indicators at the level of an avid amateur. And, very accurately.

The price of the Garmin device, combined with its reliability, is one of the most balanced in the segment. But it is not without flaws, and the most mentioned among them in the reviews affects the size of the display and the performance of the sensor. It may seem too tight. And the display is actually smaller than the size of the dial itself. However, such imperfections from the total volume of reviews are found only in 3-5% of cases.

Improved version of Garmin Phoenix 5. Firmware version 3.10 eliminated many shortcomings of the operating system. The red triangle at 12 o'clock has been removed and has now been transformed into a stripe.The notches on the bezel also became narrow and brought it on par with the tempered glass. The silicone strap is now even smoother, and NFC hardware payment has been added to the interface. The screen is surprisingly sharper in the sun than in the shade. If you purchase a product from an official representative or from the site, you are guaranteed to receive a large set of accurate maps for navigation. On the market, they are perceived as masculine due to the strictly appearance and massiveness.

Now briefly about the cons. Delayed notifications will be a common occurrence for the owner and cannot be fixed. Due to the many functions, the watch slows down a little, so you have to wait during the transitions between menus. The silicone strap is comfortable, but the synthetic base will make your hand sweat. In some places in the interface there is an incorrect translation into Russian.

Runners, athletes, swimmers and other sports enthusiasts will love Garmin's Forerunner 35. They not only sit perfectly on the hands and fully work out their functionality, but also work offline with an external heart rate monitor connected for a little over a week. The search for satellites and connection on average last 2 minutes, in frosty time about 3 minutes. You need to be extremely careful and not skip the menu, as it is impossible to go back. Add a chest heart rate monitor to them and this bundle will become your best friend in training. There are no brakes during operation, that is, with the optimization of the watch, everything is in perfect order.

Buyers in the reviews are generally satisfied with the product, but note a number of minor flaws. For example, there is no simple stopwatch, and the calendar cannot be viewed at all.Despite the presence of GPS, the current altitude and coordinates cannot be displayed on the screen. Extremely picky about the power source, many charge only from the computer. Saves only 1 mode for each type of training.

Men's smart watches for the most courageous - Garmin ENDURO - a new line of the brand, which managed to surprise many buyers. Unprecedented battery life of up to 80 hours in GPS mode and up to a month in standard mode. It has everything you need to practice any kind of sports, including a solar panel built into the glass. And all this is packaged in a heavy-duty moisture-resistant case with a nylon strap. Customers like the performance of the device and its functionality.

But there are still some minor flaws. And, if the watch had not been positioned as a top sports model, they would most likely have been forgiven. The first is not long enough vibration when receiving messages or notifications from a smartphone. And the second is the lack of high-strength Garmin sapphire crystal. However, this moment is compensated by the use of a material equal in strength and quality to sapphire.

The Garmin Instinct watch screen can be considered almost perfect. Its readability is so good that no backlight is needed at dusk. And yes, the screen is not color, but what difference does it make if you are in the desert or in the mountains? The application in the phone has a rich set of programs for customizing your watch. Very light, not noticeable on the hands. The reviews note compatibility with some models of chest sensors, for example Polar H10.When switching between heart rate zones, a squeak occurs, and in addition, you can adjust the maximum and minimum heart rate threshold for notifications.

In the role of a regular watch, the battery will last for 14 days, and with fitness training from 8 to 10. If there is a connection with a smartphone, all kinds of alerts and weather forecast data can be transmitted. As a small minus, it is worth noting the cut-down functions of the multiclock, which is why the Instinct cannot compete with the Fenix ​​series. Perfectly fit into the harsh men's wardrobe.

The versatile Garmin Vivoactive 4 smartwatch is more often categorized as a men's watch because it has a massive dial and brutal style. However, men appreciate the size and weight of the device, as well as a convenient screen that is easy to read in any conditions. Customers like both the accurate heart rate monitor and the blood oxygen measurement sensor. But here the pedometer - let us down, failures often appear. Among other advantages, users highlight convenient sports programs and the relative affordability of the device in comparison with top models.

But autonomy is not the strongest side of these smartwatches. Rarely do they work longer than 4-5 days without recharging. But the most interesting thing about them is a stress management mode and a personal trainer that allows you to prepare for running marathons at a distance of 5 to 20 km. In general, the device turned out to be reliable and convenient, although not without flaws.

The Garmin Fenix ​​series has been at the forefront of the best sports smartwatches for many years. And all thanks to perfectly balanced features. Users love the efficient training programs, the accuracy of the heart rate monitor, and the built-in analysis software. The autonomy of the Garmin device is extremely positive, especially in comparison with more popular universal brands. The informative display and the overall strength of the case deserve praise.

But for the stated price, there are not the most adequate shortcomings, the main of which is Gorilla Glass, which is not scratch-resistant enough. But even a more expensive model with sapphire glass does not solve this problem. And most buyers note that without intense impacts, it is not so easy to damage it. And the second is not the strongest side - support for synchronization with a smartphone. Notifications come with too little vibration.

The rating of the best watches continues with one of the models of the Garmin running line - Forerunner 245 Music. In them, the brand succeeded in almost everything: huge functionality with friendly software, many accurate sensors, compactness. In reviews, buyers often praise the convenience of many programs and the ability to download additional sports. Even the price suits most buyers. I really like the new option to download music directly to the watch's memory, as well as a balanced charge. On average, the battery lasts for 7 days with the heart rate monitor on. The reviews also note the high accuracy of the heart rate sensor.

But even in the best model there are drawbacks, and the most popular is the lack of display brightness.In the photo you can see that the readability of the screen is not very good with a dark background. But the problem is solved by installing a light interface. The model has no other objective shortcomings.
