Everything I hoped it would be
on December 15, 2024
Posted by: Hikiemikie2015
Got it as an early Christmas gift and has already helped me find my way out of a cedar swamp. Controls were clunky to figure out without an internet search, but after 20 minutes of clicking around, it’s natural now! Only complaint is sleep tracking with the app. I work rotating shifts and it will erroneously track sleep when on midnights, and not track correctly during the day. 5 Stars otherwise.

Works with my garmin explore

Got this watch to pair with my Garmin dog collars. After a learning curve I was able to get my track on my watch on the same map as my dog collars! Love the extra long battery life
Still haven’t tried the solar charging just yet

Love this watch!

I’ve had this watch for about a month. I previously owned the Apple Watch and thought it was too much for what I needed. The Garmin is great for activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, sand sleep. Would recommend to anyone wanting to take their fitness to the next level.

Bought this watch last month. Has all the features I wanted plus more. Love the style and fit. Great stats for monitoring health and exercise. Would suggest this purchase for anyone wanting a robust sports watch.

Good at telling time

Just not a watch guy. I though I'd like it but I can't don't really use it a lot outside of telling time.

Primarily Used For Emergency Text Capability
on November 12, 2024
Posted by: kitro
My family is working in another state. I am alone in a remote area, tending the dogs, rabbits and turkeys. If I fall or something, hopefully the emergency text function will save the day.
The Large Display and Solar function are very appealing. I keep fit without keeping track, and am able to disable power using functions. Light and comfortable, it is a good feeling to have this on the wrist.

Great

Had a venue square prior which I had issues charging and keeping a charge.
I feel the instinct is of better quality due
to the more protective housing. I don't believe the solar charging is what it said to be. While driving had watch in direct sun for 6 hours didn't give me any extra battery life even though watch said sun intensity was good.
Would like more feminine style but this time went for durability.
