A Good Slap On and Go Watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.With a battery life of 12 days in gps mode, this watch is all I needed. It shows me notifications and tells me the time while also being rugged enough to take a hit or two. Great basic smart watch with insane battery life so I don't have to worry about charging it.

Excellent sports and outdoors watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Best watch for the money. I prefer function over appearance or fancy screens. The disply on the watch reminds me of a low-def Ti calculator screen, which I think is cool. Tou can text, email, make calls, etc. But that isnt really why I got this watch. I love the HR monitor, one of the most accurate wrist-based HRs out there. However, you can still pair this with a chest strap HR via bluetooth or ANT+. The other reason why I got this is because this also has an accurate GPS to track running and hiking on trails with a topographic map. It also has many exercise options with different training intervals and intensity cues. This watch is also rugged, and has impact, dust amd water resistant ratings that are among the best. Nothing fancy about thia watch. It just works.

Rugged and Useful
||Posted .So far this has been the best Christmas gift my boyfriend and I have gotten for each other. The sleep and stress monitors are particularly helpful especially because I can track throughout my day what had my heart rate up. It also details the quality of sleep you are getting and how that effects you battery charge and activity level over the next day which was pretty enlightening. We haven’t used the GPS functions yet, but we are stoked to try out the trails and the compass is awesome. Also, the weather helps us immensely because it includes the wind speed and direction which is great for deciding weather we surf or paddleboard/kayak. We also love the shared challenges we can set up in the Garmin app to make sure we are holding each other accountable for our daily activity goals.

Great Watch For The Price

Garmin - Instinct GPS Smartwatch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I still haven't gotten all of the functions down, but I love the fact it keeps track of my steps and my sleep. It keeps track of my heart beats per minute and can tell how many calories you burn, sunrise and sunset, how many miles you walk. There is a app for the phone, but I connect with my PC and read the data it logs from there. The screen puts out quite a bit of light which can help with finding keys etc...The face has many options in dark or light color. I have set my watch to military time. Sensors and charging port on back side.

Almost 5*
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.So far everything works perfect except the heart monitor, which is slightly inaccurate.. unfortunately that’s why I am giving it four stars. It’s a beautiful watch! It grabs a lot of compliments and looks super sporty and stylish. I love the alarm option which really wakes me up!! It’s a must have watch if you don’t worry about the heart monitor option. GPS is accurate and steps as well. The battery life is way better than most other smart watches in the same range.
