  • Instinct watch with a green light.
  • I'm sorry, but the text "EIRL MENU NU AE" does not seem to be related to the image of the watch. The image shows a black watch with a black band, and there is no indication of any text or menu.

    I’m frankly impressed with this watch. Tracks more than expected. Wish I could move the stats to my computer, but for now the phone is fine. It is much more than I wanted to spend, but very happy I did. Confused that hiking and walking don’t both contribute to the same distance??? Garmin needs to fix that

    This is the perfect watch! It looks like a G-Shock but feels even more solid. It supports a lot of activities, tracks your sleep, and looks great especially with the always-on display turned on.
