Great for my First Garmin
on September 24, 2021
Posted by: TXBeast
I've had other smart/fitness watches but this one has been the most accurate, easy to set up and utilize, seems rugged, and the battery lasts for a long time. Don't get hung up on it not having a color display, you don't need it.

I bought this watch wanting a smart watch for men. Had it thirty days and finally just charged it. Incredible durability and fantastic functions!

Decent features.

Disappointed with Solar charging, I was hoping it would last longer than a week. Also, I can't cross my arms; it disconnects my iPhone.

When a G-Shock and a Garmin have a Baby
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
I love my G-Shock watches. I love their toughness and their solar charging and their great battery life. I also love the fact that they're more like a tool watch than a fancy smartwatch. This watch is perfect. It's got the best of all works. And, by turning off all of the smartwatch features, I can push its battery life, with HR and all lifestyle tracking, to over 30-days on a single charge. It now lives on my left wrist 24-7. It's also very light and very comfortable. It doesn't interfere with sleep or knock around on my wrist like a lot of much more expensive smartwatches.

I love it!

This watch is amazing. I got the Instinct to replace my Apple Watch that I abused and used. The battery life is unmatched as far as I am concerned. 12 days with the settings I regularly use, including sleep and pulse ox tracking. Being in Alaska, I really appreciate the GPS functions because adventures turn in to rescue missions when you least expect it. I think it’s plenty stylish and lightweight enough to forget I am wearing it. The Instinct is a rugged and beautiful work horse!

Great Battery Life
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: southernflyfishing
I bought this a few weeks ago and love it so far. Battery Life has been great, I came from a FitBit that would only last about 5 days and the Instinct Solar on full charge will be for 25 days. When go for a ride I can pick 1-2 days of additional charge. Great fit and looks

Great watch
on September 29, 2021
Posted by: GSVette
Bought watch about 2 weeks ago to replace Ionic which had gone on the fritz. The buttons and modes took some time to get a feel for. Really love the solar aspect-haven’t had to put watch on charger since I gave it the first full charge.
