Does the Garmin alert you for text or phone calls?

Yes.

I can't respond to phone calls only see the number. You can set it like the Samsung to vibrate, sound or both. And I can only respond to texts with a list of about 10 premade responses. I can change those to whatever I want but it's limited to like 15 or 20 letters.

All the comments I read say the solar isn't worth the extra $100 unless you're outside in direct sun alot, just because its slow charging. But that's just what I've read. The ones without solar still last about a week with using the GPS about 5 hours.

And, that's using the multi satellite. There's 2 more that are supposedly really accurate that uses less battery. I've never tried them though.

Yes. Normally its the same or less and exchanges are hassle free. Except for 1 time, but that's not the norm. I like getting stuff delivered. Lol. It's like opening packages at Christmas.

I have never tried Amazon Prime. I've just tried regular Amazon.

Something else I just thought about. The Garmin App is so much better than Samsung Health. Better than any of the others I've had to. I don't know about apple, never been able to check that out.

When you live in the sticks, prime is worth it. We have to drive an hour or more to get to any real retail stores and then it's hit or miss if something is in stock.

That's a long drive. I thought 30 minutes was bad.

Thanks, that's all I need. I keep my phone on silent and rely on notifications from my watch.

I woke up this morning feeling better (rest wise) than lately. Sure enough, sleep score 82 with almost 2 hours of REM sleep. Still not great sleep, but compared to the 60s I’ve been in for so long, this felt great.

Have changed your diet? I think that's a big part of my problem with stress. I watched a Garmin video about it last night.

I’ve been eating better the past two or three days compared to since mom’s passing, but I was eating healthy during and post COVID with crappy sleep. I think most of it was being home and absolutely exhausted

I'll tell you one thing. After getting that new Samsung and wearing it for 3 weeks, there was a point where I thought about switching back. The GPS was okay, and the sleep was really close on everything except deep and rem, they seemed to be backwards.

I love the reminder function, the brightness of the screen and the watch faces...blah blah blah.

Point is, I was reminded how much I appreciate the Garmin. It does what it does very well and I value the confidence I have in it more than I like the "bells and whistles" of the Samsung.

*Samsung is a great smartwatch no doubt.

I remember not long ago talking about wanting to get my HRV to 45 and keep within 43-47.

Welp...

Last night’s sleep score: 52

Had a moment where I really missed mom and I couldn’t get to sleep. Then when I did, the sleep was never good. All the coffee in the world isn’t helping. Fwiw, I knew the sleep was bad, I didn’t expect it to be that bad though.
