Replace an original Instinct. The Instinct 3 50mm AMOLED is great hardware but has too many frills for my taste. It needed the larger display. The meets my basic hiking and kayaking needs well. I am not wild about the subscription aspect, but am going to work with for a year anyway. The subscription aspect is why I only rated a 4.

Love the watch. In past Garmin watches I changed face thru ConnectIQ, but liked default and data that have stayed with it. Comfortable and good size. Like that is waterproof. Has all activities you can think of

I am not a tech guy at all. This watch is very user friendly and easy to set up. I got my watch 2 weeks ago and battery is still over 50%. I use it to track my dogs with their Garmin collars and it makes tracking them much easier.

I love the build as you expect from Garmin and the 51mm is a great size for my wrist as I was on the fence with the 47..very comfortable to wear long term .. my only hang up and felt this was a miss.. was disappointed that it wasn’t touch screen .. and that was a miss on my part .. prefer both options as I have the Fenix 8 pro as well. Besides that it’s a great watch
