Great rugged smart watch
on April 28, 2021
Posted by: Jr22
This is in the line of the Casio g shock but with modern tech. I didn’t want a watch that needed to be charged every day. So far (2 weeks) the solar has kept is in the 70-80%. I used it for travel and mountain biking. I have a Casio prw 3000. Still don’t remember the buttons on it. That’s going on 4 years now. This is much simpler.
My one star deduction: it would be nice to have the ability to set the entire watch up via the app.

Great simple activity watch

I am a previous apple watch owner. Loved it but after 3-4 years batter was dying by noon. Wanted a watch that could provide the battery life i wanted. The Garmin Instinct provides all that and much more. Happy with this purchase and look forward to maximizing this minimalist watch.

Awesome watch
on May 3, 2021

I love this watch. It works great and it is bigger then my Apple Watch but the battery life is why I switched out from Apple. I do not however like the band- it digs into my wrist. I am looking to swap it for a nylon or leather one to see if it is better then the one with holes on the bands. I do not know all of what this watch can do yet and will up date review after I have had it for more then 2 days

I'm a very active person and I hesitated switching to this watch because of the platform I use to track my runs. So far it does an amazing job tracking my activities and fits into my workplace as well. Durable and very easy to use. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I've only been using it for 3 days, but so far it has exceeded all my expectations. So much more than a Fitbit!
