Lovely watch.

I love to wear watch, but usually it hurts my wrist but this this watch I never feel I’m wearing it.
Has so many futures, but it’s little bit hard to function!

Still learning

It's not easy to initially set up. I relied more on you tube then what Garmin offered but got the set up done. Then couldn't figure out why the battery saver screen was on, it was so confusing. After alot of playing around and again ... you tube, I understood what I did. I'm not don't figuring out everything but what I know, it's really cool. Wish the blue model was more navy, would go with more clothing. Features I use most steps distance HR dial changes and a few more are really accurate and cool to use.

NOT User Friendly
on April 18, 2024
Posted by: OvertheHill Adventurer
I have owned this watch for about 2 years, and I have beat on it. Hunting, camping, hiking, backpacking, and swimming. It’s a great durable watch and everything has held up with no signs of wear and tear which was my main concern with the wristband.
However, it is way too complicated to use and the manual that comes with it plainly put is terrible. I have to look up “How To,” videos on YouTube.

Diabetic friendly
on April 19, 2024

If this watch had more information for diabetics it would be the perfect watch.. i.e.... glucose readings, etc
User friendly ability to add other regular activities ( I do tippy toes daily and would like to be able to enter amount and I do aquatics therapy would be nice to be able to enter that as an overall activity

Garmin Instinct
on April 23, 2024
Posted by: Frank85
I love my watch. Its great, the only thing that has disappointed me is that the vibration has failed and it now rattles and sounds like a bumble bee lives in my watch when I receive notifications. I would like to know if Garmin has addressed the issue with its updated product lines before I think about replacing my Garmin Instinct with a similar Garmin watch product.
