Better than fashion!

Timeless, functional, intuitive are all words id use for this watch. Its easy to use and easy to set up and for me, easy to wear. This is the kind of watch that doesn't follow the trend, but stays the course of quality.

Awesome

I have had the Instinct Solar, for 5 days. The battery life is exceptional, 3% battery depletion in every day, even when using the GPS for outdoor activities ( running), and about 3 hrs of solar charging. I had the instinct, and upgraded. The battery holds true, about 83% in five days. Also love that it pairs with my Inreach mini, I conserve battery by using the battery saver power mode when sleeping, but configure it to allow sleep tracking , and heart rate. Which are important to my usage. I trust it as a part of my equipment for hiking. Love that there is , an ABC , GPS solar watch that is reliable.

Great Smart Watch

Awesome watch. I got it for my anniversary. I love it lasts for 25 days once charged rather than an Apple Watch that has to be charge everyday. Most folks with an Apple Watch will take off and charge at night, however the watch can’t track your sleep pattern. I’ve used the gps while hiking and like it and this is just a great watch and you can’t go wrong by having one.

3 in a row

This is my third Garmin, each has been better than the previous one. Each of the previous ones I have used for about two years and then upgraded to the newer item. I have only had this one for three days but it has been outstanding so far. Easy to program and use,

This is the first watch I have owned in years and it’s great. With all the apps and everything u can link to it really helps and keeps you motivated to get in shape or stay healthy.

Wonder watch!

I wore another watch (Timex) for many years. In the last year the need arose for a watch to also measure heart rate and steps. I looked at an Apple Watch but it is only partially waterproof, and only has a short time between battery recharging. My new Garmin Instinct Solar can hold a charge for up to 27 days. It was a no brain decision.

Great watch
on August 11, 2020

Too many features to mention them all, but I especially like the bike and swim apps. The Ox2 sensor gives a peace of mind during this pandemic. Smart Notifiacations are great - I won’t be wearing my original Apple watch anytime soon. The wellness features are neat, with the Body Battery combining several of them in one data point. The best feature is the solar charging. I have yet to charge my watch since the intial plug in charging. I really like this watch!

bought a month ago. How I wish the display is a little larger like my mudmaster. Backlight a little brighter.
