    This is my 3rd instinct. All have been exactly what I was looking for. The new AMOLED screen is a great twist to the original

    Finally found a fitness watch that is fully functional, great looking and rugged. Love the way it looks and works great.

    Amazing watch battery life is superb, so many activities to track I haven’t done an activity that this can’t track. Calorie count is a little out of wack.

    Love this watch. I had a Forerunner but it didn't have the options I wanted. Garmin makes great products.

    I know there is a second model of instinct but this one is a great upgrade from the first. There are so many features and modes. The flashlight is actually really convenient. Great for anyone who is really active in remote areas. I just wish this was solar powered like the non Amoled ones.

    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

    A good system overall but a bit clumsy in execution. I prefer a bit more simplicity over complexity when my hands are sweaty during a run. Also, a slightly larger face would be beneficial especially when interacting with the system during an activity. It does provide everything advertised.
