    Gives me a slight rash on my wrist but I think that is just how my skin reacts to mist watches and rings.

    Challenging to Understand and Remember

    This watch has a lot of great features but the instruction manual does not do a good job in explaining everything. In addition, since there are a lot of features to this watch, it take a lot of practice in order to remember the steps to get something done. In addition, it does not explain how the apps and website interact with the watch. One needs to figure this out on their own. In summary, it can be challenging in order to learn all the features of this watch.

    Purchased the Garmin Instinct for running, hiking and biking. It has just enough smart features to get the job done, and none of the added baggage that seems to make competing products drain their battery in a matter of hours. ANT and Bluetooth connection for linking to mobile devices and lots of biking hardware.

    Good watch haven’t had any problems. The only thing I would change is maybe the color, I liked the black but I didn’t want the tactical edition

    Great watch buttons are a little sensitive gets pushed with a long sleeved dress shirt. But otherwise it is a good fitness watch for the price.

    He loves this watch! You can modify it to fit garmin fenix 5 quick band. 5s and 5x band may be too small or too large, however 5 was judt right.

    I'm only giving it four stars because my watch often has to be paired up with my phone. I don't know if it's because I changed phones but it's annoying. Other than that I love the features it comes with! I've had this watch for quite a while and I still don't know all the features it comes with. This watch allows you to view your heart rate, date, time, and sunrise/sunset time all at once. You can also change it.

    We bought this watch to replace a Samsung watch. It has a longer charge life and looks more like the G-shock my husband has always worn. Taking a while to figure out all the functions, but would definitely recommend.

    I got this as a gift for my husband and he is in love with it!! It’s not a flashy colorful smart watch which he loves plus he likes all the features it has. He is a jogger and wanted something to track his heart rate plus also track his running which this watch does. I made the right choice.
