Q: Garmin is famous for constantly changing the cables/chargers for their watches, how does this one charge?

A: It’s the oval with 4 “prongs”. The charging cable is included of course. It’s the same cable my last 2 Garmins have used so I don’t think they’ve changed the charging cable for quite some time.

    Great watch

    This watch has all the functions I need and has great battery life. It’s light weight and fits well. I don’t benefit much from the solar power function on a daily basis since I work indoors, but it’s a neat feature and will be useful for my upcoming vacations. You need to spend about 3 hours in direct sunlight to gain 1 day of battery life back. My husband works outside and has the solar version as well so he really benefits from it. The Neo Tropic adds a nice pop of color. I appreciate Garmin having the smaller versions of their watches as I have a small wrist. Overall, very happy with this watch as well as with all the other Garmin watches I’ve owned! They make great products!

    VERY OLD TECHNOLOGY DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    Dont waste your money. This watch was expensive and is not smart or efficient. This is only a black and white screen. The solar function doesn't work. I have had consistent pairing issues. The fact you have to plug this into a computer also shows how outdated the technology is. I have tried to work with Garmin, and the client experience has been horrendous. I will never purchase any Garmin product moving forward.

    Good watch but small screen/band

    Very similar to the Instinct 2 solar regular size. My wrist is small approx 6 inch circumference but this watch band was made for child or youth, could barely buckle it on. The screen is also quite small so for the sake of seeing it for its functions I would recommend going with the regular version. Great watch just not great for adults :)
