Has Met my expectations.

I have looked at Garmin watches that would pair with my Garmin 200i for a couple of years. The price on the Instinct E-45mm finally convinced me to buy. The watch has met my expectations. I know that Garmin has some watches that might map or give me information better, but this watch really is all I need.

I ran 5 miles with the watch today it was connected to my Garmin app and the watch told me my time every mile I ran through my headphones. I really appreciate SHEELS for setting the watch and connected to my Garmin app. I really enjoy my Garmin instinct watch.

I liked my old Instinct watch much better. didnot have as much unwanted info on it. Plus can hardly read the info on the watch because it is so small, I need to put on glasses. plus I really don't know how to use it. Been trying to firgure out how to get rid of stuff on the watch I don't use.

This is my second Garmin. My last one was a solar. It functions the same. If I had a wish it would be to make the time display brighter and darker to see the numbers better.

I dislike this watch and I put it on . did not like it functioned buttons were very difficult to operate. it finally ceased to communicate with my phone and would not restart. I returned it it's in in a week.
