Not as seamless as the Apple Watch, but I moved over to this one and am very impressed. Notifications are instant. Syncs well with health data. Been using for a week and I still show 29 days of battery life left. I don't regret it one bit.

Thanks a lot for your insights. I own Apple Watch but the battery can only last for a day and keeps getting worse. I don't need fancy features. Notifications and health related features are all I need.
Looks like a very good fit for my needs!

You won't be disappointed. Operating the smartwatch takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome.

Agree. Slight learning curve, but it's worth it.

I've been rocking my E-Sports edition for over two years now, and it still holds a charge for 10+ days. Garmins are tanks!

I'm interested in coming over from an Apple Watch for the increased battery life and more rugged design. I'm most concerned about losing Siri. I use it all the time to control smart lights/scenes in my home as well as to set timers and reminders. I guess I can use my phone directly, but I don't always have it on me or have a free hand. If only there was a Siri pass through capability to use my phones Siri functionality via the watch.

This is a great watch, you won't be disappointed. I've had it for a year and the light on the watch comes in handy, the battery lasts forever, I get all my notifications easily from Android, and it fits better than the Fenix 7X I tried for a while.
