Garmin - Instinct Smartwatch Fiber-Reinforced Polymer - Tundra with Tundra Silicone Band

Honestly at first i was upset and was going to return this product. But after i changed a few settings it opened up and performed flawlessly. It's well equipped and has spot on tracking. It's not a city boy watch that will let you order a chai latte after yoga this thing is a man's watch! It's meant to get dirty, fall on it's face, rope a steer, hunt hang and skin something. If you're looking for style or sweet graphics keep looking but if you're looking for a workhorse that wont let you down or cancel plans because it's raining then this is your partner in crime

My previous watch was a Fitb*t Surge and I had to be really careful with it to get it to synch, swipe to the next screen, and not get it too wet or it did strange things. Not at ALL a problem with this watch. I've had it for about 2 months now and I don't baby it like I had to do with my surge. A few of the things I love about this watch.. 1) water resistant.. I swim and shower with it, no problems 2) synchs first time, every time. Hated the Fitbit synch problems 3) lots of info packed on the home screen and I get to pick the info displayed 4) Its light weight, it feels lighter than my old Surge 5) NO TOUCH SCREEN. I will never own another touch screen watch.

I decided to buy the Garmin Instinct for the GPS features for hunting and fishing. After using the GPS features with the Garmin Explorer app I can now keep track of my hunting and fishing hotspots. The GPS is not only accurate but when used with the Garmin Explorer app you can view your waypoints on either a topo or aerial maps on your phone. In addition you can create a route using the Explorer app and have it synced to your Instinct for easy navigation in the field. The Instinct also allows you to view and reply to text messages using pre-typed messages that can be customized using the Garmin Connect app. Great product that is reasonably priced.

Love the rugged and efficient features. Great battery life. Used the GPS feature to get back to hotels while traveling in south east Asia this year, very useful!!! Use waterproof feature to track swimming. Very good to take on hikes and for runners. Wife and I go on night hikes to take pictures of Arizona’s many national monuments, watch helps to track moon phases, we go on nights with no moon to get a better view of the night sky. I would highly recommend this watch.

This smart watch fully fills a particular niche for outdoor activity. Excellent GPS and heart rate functionality for all outdoor activities. Rugged, waterproof, and 2 week battery life. It still does everything smart watches are advertised to do. I think the BW screen and push button functionality are more a plus than minus. Every screen is customizable. Think of this as a 4X4 SUV as opposed to an apple watch high end luxury car. Price is hard to beat for the features you get.

I have had a Vivoactive 3 and I have had a Fenix 5 Plus and this is the best of both worlds. Great price for the capabilities. The Vivoactive 3 was not durable enough for me and I didn't care for the look of it, the Fenix 5 Plus had a great look but had more features than I would ever use and was too expensive for me not taking advantage of them. The Instinct is a great mix of them. I only miss having music on board, but for this price and features you can't beat the value. Highly recommended and my current favorite Garmin watch!

Purchased this watch to replace my old Garmin 410. Though the display is not in color it is the perfect running and outdoor watch. It has all the features of the more expensive Garmins, but at half the costs. It also has some really great features for hiking or trail running. Warns you of pending storms, has built in navigation features and much more. Also last a long time compared to both the Galaxy and Apple watches.

This is my first smart watch. I have an iPhone but did not want to get an apple watch because I have always been a Casio G shock fan. This watch reminds me a lot of the G shocks in feel and look. Plus I got 3 weeks out of my first charge. Definitely not into charging a watch every night like I have to do my watch. Watch has pretty cool watch face, easier to read than G shock. Overall very satisfied with this so far.
