Just what I wanted!
I did a bit of research when I bought this, its a lot of money to pay out, I wanted something simple, generally am interested in heart rate, steps, sleep quality, will use for running when back into it but focussing on strength training for now. So far, I am really pleased, has only been a week but it feels comfortable to wear and is really easy to use. I have been going back to Argos quite a lot of the best 2 years and been really pleased with my purchases. The reviews seem to be genuine and helpful, also really easy to pick up items or return to our local Sainsbury's. Please keep up the good service.

Hi, John

You must connect your watch to the Garmin Connect app on your phone or to the Garmin Express application on your computer before you can connect to a Wi‑Fi network.
1 Hold UP.

3 Select a network.
4 If necessary, enter the password for the network.
The watch connects to the network, and the network is added to the list of saved networks. The watch
