Title: Outstanding dash cam
Review: I currently own a Garmin 57 dash cam and have been very happy with it and it goes between my personal and work vehicles. When Garmin released a 4K camera, I jumped at it. Now I have the 57 installed permanently in the work vehicle and the X310 in my personal vehicle. Garmin has the best phone app out there and it works flawlessly between the cameras. The X310 works just like the 57-menu system and supposedly it has even sharper video, although the video looks pretty much the same as the 57. I attribute this to the fact that I don't have a 4k monitor to view it on, just a regular 1080p monitor, so I'm not seeing any sharpness upgrade on my monitor. Aside from this the video is still great, colors, sharpness and all. I do like the added touchscreen making it much easier to navigate the menu, not that the button system of the 57 was hard. The x310 is a smaller footprint in thickness than the 57, the width and height, close to the same. I will admit it is a bit spendy, but it's totally worth it for the quality, the Garmin name behind it, and phone app. It's super small and fits right behind my rearview mirror so it's never a distraction. The voice commands are great, and they always work flawlessly. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.Nov 17, 2024 update. I recently caught an accident of a guy racing up beside me and then smashing head first into a car that was in the center turn lane. I wished I had a rear camera to see when the guy pulled out and raced up the center lane. So, I bought the Garmin Mini 3 to put in my back window. Was super simple, plugged adapter into to back 12v cigarette lighter port right by the back hatch, ran wire just up the side door seal and spiraled the wire(you wrap it around a dowel, heat the wire with a heat gun/hairdryer, let cool, take off and turn the wire wrap the opposite direction...you now a coiled wire) to allow the hatch to open an close without having wire hanging. Stuck to corner of back window, and connected to the Garmin app. Now they both work in unison and connect flawlessly every time via Wi-Fi. A caveat, if you ever need to download a video, you can do it with the Wi-Fi, it can be done, but it's a bit slow and cumbersome, ideally, taking out the card and putting in a computer is much better. If you have a mini usb phone (the iPhone 14 or newer you can plug your phone right into the usb on the new Garmins and it’s super-fast, just like a computer). Now I have front and back videos. I'm very happy with the 4K video out the front and the 1080p out the back. Both videos are clear and sharp, very happy with the Garmin Mini 3.

Title: Compact and clear but app needs work
Review: PROs:- About the size of zippo lighter- Easy to install- Crisp video image- You can use the camera and download images and videos without needing to subscribe to the pay featuresCONs:- Constantly beeps (looking into settings to see if I can turn off notifications)- Video transfer through the app must be done via a bluetooth connection. However, my Apple Carplay is preventing this from happening. So now I have to disconnect the camera, bring it into the house and reconnect it to power to transfer videos. If you have a vault subscription, you can get the videos through the cloud, but I don't want to pay for another subscription.Overall, I think this is a great dash cam because of its size and features. "Ok Garmin" is very responsive and has worked flawlessly through a couple of test runs. When I was shopping for a dash cam, I only wanted a front facing cam. This was apparently the only one in its class with the amount of features and quality of video. I do not want/need a rear dash cam.

Title: Easy setup, video quality is meh.
Review: Things I liked:Easy set up.Small.app used to view alignment.Daytime video quality is okay.Price. (bought on sale)Syncing with app, syncs up video timestamp as well as the save file's date modified properties.Things I didn't like:Garmin Drive App is pretty clunky.Night time video isn't great. Can't make out any license plates if needed.Need to buy mini SD card separate.Video files save as 1 minute intervals. (not sure if that can be changed)Overall:A little disappointed in the video quality. Not enough to return though. I would recommend looking at the other 4k models though just for better night time videos.

Title: Solid! Recommended.
Review: Love the super compact design. Install was easy. Captures all the ridiculousness I encounter every day on our roads. Cool feature - if it senses you stopping short in beeps a few times to tell you it captured the event. Installed this in my sports car - which is sadly the occasional target of haters. I put a high capacity memory card in it to be sure older files don’t get overwritten too quickly. If the car is on and there’s movement in front of it, it’s recording. I might spring for a battery pack that will keep it live while parked. Video quality is great and I feel like of all the ones I looked at - this one was in the sweet spot of price and function.

Title: Sloppy Product. Very Disappointed.
Review: Bought the Garmin X310 camera and the Garmin dashcam parking mode cable kit. Unfortunately they are not compatible and, unless you prefer wires dangling from your OBDII port or 12V plug across the dash and up to the windshield, no other Garmin-brand options to power this camera seem to exist. I tested the camera to see if a non-Garmin power method could be used, but also not compatable.App has endless connectivity issues, and you need to pay more money to view the Live View. Frustrating product.

Review: I bought this dash cam to monitor my car while I am away from it since my car got hit while I was home. The camera doesn’t access live view or WiFi connection because I have to park my car down the street away my house. So it is basically useless.
