Great

"My son received it as a gift and he absolutely loved it."

— Daniel Y. (5/5)

"After too many years of being unsatisfied with my Fitbit, I jumped over to Garmin, and love it. I just wish it were a little smaller for my petite wrist, and that there were more choices for nice looking petite bands. While I love this, it is a little clunky for small wrists."

— Belinda (5/5)

Q&A

Does this watch have a always on display and will it contiously moniter oxygen?
It does offer an Always On Display. However it may slightly change the face after some time of inactivity to preserve battery. It will also continuously monitor your oxygen levels but it is not recommended for full time continuous use as it will drain your battery.
