I have a Garmin watch for 2 years now and I bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. On their website, it said that shipping was expected to take 5-8 weeks, but since I really liked the watch I went ahead and ordered it. I was very concerned after reading the reviews here and wondering if I did the right thing. At the end, the watch came in a week and I had no issues to connecting it to my phone. I'm very pleased so far!
