Garmin Instinct Solar , Rugged Outdoor Smartwatch with Solar Charging Capabilities and Tactical Features, Built-in Sports Apps and Health Monitoring, Black

I bought this watch to replace a Suunto that was to say the least a disappointment. I could not be happier with it. It does everything I need and there are several you tube videos on how to use the different functions. I own several watches and used to rotate them, since this watch arrived it is the only one I have worn.

This is my first smartwatch of any variety. Frankly I find it overly complicated for most purposes. Sometimes I get notifications, sometimes I dont. Theres probably a setting somewhere thats messed up but Ive given up trying to sort out most of the features. Experienced smartwatch users may do better with it but it clearly isnt as instinctive as products by Samsung or Apple.

Very happy with this watch. It is sturdy and does everything I need it too.

Horrible product. Has not charged at all. Bought the tactical solar which charges by sun and can plug in to charge. Have to charge multiple times per day. This is not a rugged outdoor watch as advertised and sold. It is a pricy watch and does not meet standard for the expensive cost. I would love to give it zero stars.

Purchased the all black one. My husband loves all the options and settings. Battery saving mode, solar charge, heart monitor, jacket mode and all options plus they are all easy to use.

This is the first smartwatch that I have bought I like the options Im still learning what it can do with it so far so go you really have to do your research to know that its for you

You name it, this watch does it. Fitness tracker, smart watch, navigation aid, watch with world time, and the list goes on. It will even track your sleep patterns with movement, HR, and pulse ox measurements.

I’ve owned expensive watches, dive watches 2 different fitbits, Apple Watch 6 and a Garmin vivosmart 3. After having and absolutely hating the new Apple Watch I decided to go back to Garmin. I am absolutely in love with this watch. Exactly what I need and exactly the bloated crap I don’t need. Perfect for hiking and my workout. It’s comfortable and 12 day battery life I am in love, especially after a 12 hour battery life on Apple Watch.

It looked like a great product but for me at my age it was complicated to use.

I’ve been holding out to buy a good “workout/fit bit” type smart watch for a while. I will always be happy to wear an old fashion watch, but I have come to enjoy so far the information and practicality of this watch.
