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

This is the first smart watch that I have ever purched and I love it. So many features available for this watch, and it charges from the sun. Ive had to charge it like once a month so far, thing lasts for a good while. GPS tracking and coords work great, I use the daily for my job.

Good watch and battery life, nice features. My only complaint is Garmin goal notifications, not sure how to turn it off but steps and floor notifications especially when I’m driving and not walking is silly.

Looks like a great watch, just hard to figure easiest functions

Fantastic watch!

This watch is pretty good. Its lightweight, rugged and honestly its so reliably boring that you forget its on your wrist. The GPS function keeps time accurate no matter where you go but it sucks the battery life down from 30+ days on watch mode to one day if its in constant GPS use, same with the compass. MGRS is accurate to your 10 digit so no worries there. Dive rated to 300 or so, so you dont have to worry about taking it off to get a little wet. Solar feature is cool concept, but I have yet to see it make a difference in battery life, so I dont think the technology has gotten to the point where the watch has unlimited life on solar. I got this watch so I can disconnect from my phone addiction, so I cant vouch for any integrated health or sleep apps. The heart rate monitor seems to read a bit higher than actual heart rate but it gets the job done. All in all its a great watch that tells time and has some nice additional features for MIL, LEO, Maritime professionals or outdoorsman & women.

The only good thing about this Garmin is the battery life! The layout is cumbersome. The fonts are to small to read when in run mode.. I dont like this Garmin. It doesnt have any watch faces you can download . Just not for me!

This was the perfect smartwatch for my husband. It’s his everyday watch and looks great. He wears it in the office, working out, and working on the farm.

So far so good.

Its a gem at a bargain price.

Reliable and waterproof for shower or swim. Battery life great IF you turn off the GPS and emails, texts notifications off, you can go for a week between charge. Don’t rely on solar for charging, takes usually long to charge by solar. Overall not a bad watch for an all around purpose wstch but a bit pricey in my opinion.
