Bought an gpsmaps 79s, its not connecting to my mac at all. Contacted customer service explained that all my other systems work with no issue yet the gps 79s cant even be found by mac and the customer support was shocking. I explained that i have had 0 issues with Navionics and the ability to upload information to that system and customer care response was why you trying to connect garmin to navionics. I explained im not im just giving an example of how easy it was to do on Navioics what im trying to do on Garmin and customer care response was why you complaining im ending conversation and terminated the communication. SHOCKING. I will never buy Garmin again and considering i work building boats and installing systems i will be using alternative manufacturers. What was once a great company is now appalling

Repeatedly fails to deliver. No customer service. Refuse to refund. Just appalling service. Do not buy this product online!!

Garmin have always been good upto now & customer service after sales have sadly been let down by. My 2nd fenix & faulty charging. Intermittent & sometimes doesn't even register the lead has even been connected. Expensive premium watch but definitely not a premium after customer service. No way.

We bought an Avtex tourer 3 sat nav for our caravan. It sent us down narrow roads in France, too narrow for a caravan and a few times when the sat nav was needed only a car was appearing on the sat nav screen We have not had a satisfactory reply from garmin only thank you for your comments They are content to take your money but then they don't want anything to do with helping you afterwards.

Running a race with no watch as they won’t escalate it when UPS haven’t been able to pick up the parcel for over a working day week. Emailed them photos of UPS stating no contact has been made and still failed to do anything. Call backs amount to being hung up on when connected and live chat barely is ever open on stated hours.

Vivosmart5. Unreliable. Has a waiting for data message for a long time. It doesn't catch sleep many days. They say hope for an update to fix problem. I wouldn't advise you to purchase this watch. Fitbit is even worse.

As you can see from all the other reviews on here, do not trust Garmin products which are supposed to be covered by a warranty. They will not help and avoid ever taking your product back for repair or exchange even when it is faulty. I have a Garmin Forerunner 965 and its battery lasts less than 24 hours. I spoke with customer support and they are not helpful at all. They are avoiding the fact this watch is meant to be covered under warranty. The vast majority of reviews about Garmin are all about their lack of support or honouring the warranty

I have now had 4 approach S 62s 3 under warranty. All have failed. If you want a golf computer look elsewhere these are a complete waste of money.
