Garmin are atrocious compared to hybrid watches or the legendary pebble. Had one for like a week before I sent it back, there was so much wrong with it.

My Hybrid's screen died under 9 months of use. The e-ink screen started to fade. Not sure if it was from sun light or maybe knocked around.

I haven't had the Garmin for as long yet but it's nice enough to use outdoors.
