I bought a Garmin Lily a few years ago. I loved the way it looked but functioning wasn’t fully up to par with my Apple Watch. I was aware that it was different when I bought it but I had thought the... See more

Surprising customer support when I needed it!

I got an Approach S62 for Christmas two years ago and literally two days after Christmas this year (48 hours outside of warranty) the touch function started locking up. I contacted support, explained the situation and they've offered to replace the device even though I'm technically outside of warranty (just!).

It's an expensive bit of kit—which I love, incidentally—so I really appreciate their understanding.

Expensive Gift that did not Last

I wish I had looked at trust pilot before and I hope that many people do look at these reviews before they consider buying a Garmin watch. My daughter and I saved and purchased a Garmin all singing all dancing watch for my husband's birthday and we split the cost due to the expense, around £500. After 3 years it looks as though the battery liquid has leaked into the face of the watch. When we contacted Garmin customer services they unbelievably offered us a replacement watch for a higher price than one we could have purchased on line and nothing for the failed 3 year watch. They did offer us a reconditioned watch which was a lesser product if we paid a further £150
I would expect a product of this category to last longer than 3 years!!!! Don't buy from this company, their products do not last and their attitude to keeping customers happy is absolutely zero. In this climate of instability one might think that company's would be trying a little harder to build and retain customer loyalty.

Terrible quality for the price

I loved my Garmin watch but after three years it's completely died. First the screen went and now it's stopped charging. While it was beautiful, AUD450 for something that only lasts 3 years is horrendous value for money. When I contacted Garmin, all they offered was a replacement watch, which is two generations old and hideous, for $80 less than a brand new Garmin. I won't be buying Garmin again.

The watch face scratched within a week…

The watch face scratched within a week of having the watch, I did nothing to make it scratch just used it for activity! When I contacted the company they said they couldn’t do anything about it and it was my fault. I’ve had the watch a week, surely a watch that is advertised as durable and good for excerise shouldn’t be made so cheaply! Very disappointed and won’t be recommending

Forerunner rubbish.
