Solid watch with great battery life, easy to use, and lots of cool features
Since receiving this I have been testing out all the features and have really liked the watch. Was very easy to setup and worked right away without having to troubleshoot any items. Also appears study and rugged which is great for regular/everyday use.
I've used forerunner 235 for 2+ years. That watch was good and did it job of tracking my runs. But I missed waterproof body and oxymeter. With this new watch I got these + about twice battery life with solar charging.
At this time this item has done above what I have expected it to do. I am still getting used to the Garmin Instinct Solar and learning more about how to use the Garmin. I have had a few of sports and health monitoring watches and the Garmin does above them all. I like the long life before having to charge it. Like the price also.
I got a cheap smartwatch for Xmas saw the potential and decided to upgrade the the Instinct. It is quickly becoming a very useful tool to help with reaching fitness goals.
I like the rugged looks, the long battery life, and the retro feel of this digital watch. It is simple and works, it is the zenith of digital watch technology. I can’t imagine ever putting an Apple Watch on again. The Garmin connect app is worth downloading. If you watch a tough looking sports watch, you would be hard pressed to find something nicer.
