Pretty Neat

Has nice features. Seems to do a pretty decent job of measuring activities. I've used it for CrossFit, running and hiking. I do find it pretty impressive for exercise.

Exactly what I needed

My wife bought me this for Christmas. I quit wearing watches once I retired and figured I'd never use a watch. But I was wrong. This has all sorts of features I use all the time. I track my steps because my insurance gives me rebates based on that. This counts steps automatically. I love having a compass, and I use the altitude measurement and graphs just because it interests me. Same with barometric pressure. When kayaking its nice to know if a storm is coming. The hiking with gps is awesome for not losing your way on unfamiliar trails or finding your car in a large parking lot. Getting my text and call notifications on my wrist is great since often my phone volume is off and I don't hear it ringing. I also use it for scheduling notifications (setting with google assistant). Temp and weather is also a feature I use every day. I could go on, but you get the idea. There are many other features I have yet to use... like golfing interface and kayak trip tracking. Oh, alarms are also useful!

Everything I need!

Great holiday gift! My previous watch was not holding a charge so the idea of additional solar charging sounded fantastic, and it hasn’t disappointed. The charge is lasting much longer than expected. I also love that the treadmill distance can be calibrated. The GPS has been super accurate.

Best watch ever!
on January 16, 2024
Posted by: Rikimoto
I was in need of a smart watch just for the feature of alerting me when I get a text or phone call. The Garmin Instinct opened my eyes up to having so much more than I really know what to do with. The sleek rugged look doesn’t throw me off as being a tech geek which I am so far from and that’s what I was searching for. Being able to not care about scratching or hitting the face as I do my daily activities weather work or leisure I can say is a plus. I’m constantly checking my watch now for little things like heart rate, weather, temperature, notifications etc. I have way more to learn what I can actually do with my Garmin Instinct that could benefit my health and tracking.
Two thumbs up for Garmin!
