    PCMag UKHands-on review · 2023

    A feature-rich dash cam with razor-sharp 4K, Emergency SOS and Alexa that the reviewer finds good value, though it lacks cellular and driver-assist features of the Garmin Live.

    Easy to use with a big touch screen, reliable capture and good daytime video, but night footage is flawed.

    The reviewer finds the 622GW feature-rich with good stabilization and local storage, but setup, cable routing and Alexa activation were troublesome.

    Impressed by the huge feature set and 4K footage, and judges it worth $400 for insurance protection.

    Picked as the best dash cam with GPS tracking thanks to 4K video, Alexa and What3Words support.
