That’s what I like

Had “A”nother brand of watch the required charging every day. What a nice feature to go for two weeks between charging. Like all other Garmin gadgets once you get familiar with features & functions it’s a tool.

It sucks. I bought it to coordinate with my Garmin 2000 I and there is no dog icon on the set.

I like that it uses buttons instead of a touch screen but it takes some getting used to

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.
