I did buy the Galaxy Hilly..had it for three days and returned as I scored the Garmin $400 off retail price. The Galaxy was a great looking watch with all the gloss of a smartwatch but I'd be forever stressing about the waterproof reliability..where the smarter option was the Garmin..which in the end worked out the same price (almost)..lol..

if you own it since it was realised there is nothing wrong with the Galaxy 4G about the waterproof & reliability & you can also uber a pizza at the beach you are about to land

I just got a Fenix 5 plus Sapphire still under warranty from Gumtree for $500

. Stoked it is so much better than the 3. Still not as good as the Apple watch but I lost 2 of them in the ocean

That is a great price Hilly! I think you will find it a good watch. I have used my Fenix 5 in the surf on a regular basis for about three years and it seems to be bomb proof. Still holds a charge for two weeks and charges in a couple of hours. There are lots of free custom faces that you can download which are very cool.

cheers

I like Garmin and I had a few of them since when though smartwatch is the way to go because their smart and the call feature is a bonus on the water (beam me up Scotty).
