Reliable workout watch
on March 4, 2023
Posted by: Riane Y
Watch works well and monitors everything I need for my time outdoors! I lost my original Instinct watch on a fire so I got this as a replacement. It definitely lasts a little longer with the solar power - I'd say the first instinct I had to charge about every 7-10 days. This one sometimes lasts me till the end of a fire roll, about 14-19 days depending on usage. If I don't record any activities, even longer. It's great and just what I need!

Great Everyday + Adventure watch

Easily customizable, all health metrics appear to be accurate in comparison to medical grade devices (spO2, heart rate), and the solar feature is a nice touch to add some extra days worth of charge during backcountry trips. It's definitely a beginner-friendly watch/fitness tracker, but has plenty of specific features for a pro. That being said, there are definitely other more generalist, beginner-friendly fitness tracker models that come in at lower costs if you're not looking for something that'll hold up to rugged, backcountry trips

Great features

First watch I've bought that the band actually fits my wrist. I love the accountability factor that I have using the Connect App to track my daily and weekly activity.

This thing goes forever, it tracks everything I need, it looks dope, I love it. I’ve never been more satisfied. I think it’s the safest purchase in Garmin’s whole line up.

Battery Life
on February 14, 2023
Posted by: Kendall W
EXCELLENT battery life, don't have to charge it every 5-10 days and the solar extends the 28 days even longer. Instinct has all of the features I wanted for a reasonable price. I also like the changeable face features. I was able to find one on the watch and didn't need to download anything from Garmin Connect. I previously had a Fenix 5 and I definitely like the updated features (better sleep tracking, and more indepth data)

This watch is perfect if you want a GPS watch that's durable, lightweight, and don't want to worry about battery life.

Better than an Apple Watch

Love the battery life and durability of the Instinct. It's pretty easy to navigate for my use case, but there's so many things you can do, I can't imagine that I'll touch every function. I mostly use it for running, biking, climbing, pickleball, hiking, and walking. Would definitely recommend, especially for people who are rough on gear.
