    Very solid good watch for someone who doesn’t need a watch to respond to messages. You’re not able to respond to messages; However you do get notifications which is nice. The watch is tough, has all the health stats you could want, is lightweight, and an all around good watch! The watch only get 4 because I feel like they could’ve done something to wow me.

    The Solar Instinct has so much better battery life than the Instinct. I love the watches’ functions which is why I stayed with the Garmin Instinct series, but save some money and purchase the solar. The investment be better in the future.

    Wow, awesome smartwatch. I was using another brand and all of the sudden it just died on me. The battery life is outstanding!!! The fitness tracking is easy to follow. Also, you can read texts, answer your phone, and receive notifications too. Glad I switched to Garmin.

    Excellent watch keeps me healthy with all the monitoring and the connect to my phone is very helpful the solar is an added plus as I hardly ever have to plug it in the only issue I have with the purchase is that I was told at the time that I would receive 10% cash off or rewards But that was false info the watch is awesome for health monitoring

    Had this watch for a little over a year, the battery life is excellent and the myriad of features - like finding my phone - have been a great asset. However, the watch has recently begun to have power failures, with it shutting down when alarms go off. Not a watch I could recommend for long term usage, especially when the price on sale is $30 higher than it was a year ago.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Amazing watch and one of the few smart watches that can have literally infinite power. Solar function works great; this watch just WORKS. It's not fancy at all and it won't suit for a nice dinner or something like that, but for hiking or outdoors work it can't be beat.

    Perfect watch for those of us who just want to see texts but don’t want to have a full blown smart watch. It gives you all the health data you need to see. If you buy the garmin scale it all integrates together. I even get 30 day battery life!
