    well worth it

    SO I have had this watch for over a year now, the look of it is on point, best looking smart watch out there. The functionally of it, easy to use. easy to navigate with, set timers, monitor work outs, monitor elevation, and sunrise and sunset. I primarilly use it as a sportman, I like that witha glance I can see the sunrise and sun set times. I dont misplace my truck when I go out on long hikes/hunts. Works perfectly when my phone dies and I dont accesss to my onX. All in all this is a great piece of equipment that I have added to my gear.

    Too much to list

    I had a problem With the swimming app , dont know how it could be improved . It was over counting my distance giving me a false sense of accomplishment. Also not enough actual linkahe to events in my area , shouldnt be hard to irganize seeing the revenue these events produce for lical economies. Garmin can do better

    OK smart watch

    Lot of problems with syncing…. Not easy to navigate through functions. Sleep mode is not the best. Pulse ox needs improvement.

    Big size but really light, comfortable and tough

    I really like the watch. I like big watches. The only bad thing is that I work in a warehouse and I’m almost all day inside. The only time that the sun hit my watch is when I’m going to the gym and then to my house. Which is about 45 minutes. So the watch doesn’t get enough sun. But I really like the watch. I don’t use the gps mode so the battery is not going to be a problem.

    10/10

    I went from charging my Apple Watch every night to barely thinking about charging my Garmin for weeks — and that’s with plenty of daily steps and runs!

    Great piece of kit

    Tracking, planning, and navigating, all in one small kit on your wrist. Steep learning curve but it works well and is handy to have.

    Watch is amazing!

    Watch is amazing!! The only thing that’s a bit unsatisfactory are the apps to modify the faces and tools they are a bit slow and I wish they were a lot more user friendly.

    Slow to function

    I had the watch for 2 months and already had to have it replaced for buttons failing to work. Watch is very slow to function and for the price not worth the money in my opinion.

    Great Watch!

    This watch had everything I was looking for and more. The built in light was a surprise on how much I use it. GPS and compass and tracking work well. Also the apps you can add. I wish Applied Ballistics was not so expensive to add. Wears well. Only issue I had for the first few weeks was the band material seemed to irritate my wrist. Just red but it worked itself out and no issue now. But if it does to you there are aftermarket bands.

    I did not expect how much I love this watch!

    I normally run a Gshock rangeman and I love the simplicity. I did not want to go all the way to an Apple watch so the Garmins seem like the best of both. It lives up to it! Super tough and great features, really easy interface after learning it. Connects flawlessly and has all the features you need and non that you dont! The best feature I would have never expected I used so often is the flashlight. The only downside is I wish it was a red LED instead of green. Very lightweight and comfortable and can take other watch bands. I wish ExpertVoice carried the other watch straps. Overtime this band may break like my Gshocks but the material seems softer and less brittle. 10/10 watch highly recommend over the standard instinct 2. It has a larger battery and more surface area for solar. The standard 2 tactical for me is just too small. This fits perfectly!

    Awesome

    Bought this a couple weeks ago and have only had to charge it once. Features are nice. I wish there was a way to filter the notifications. I may have not figured this out yet. But overall 10/10.

    Great System!

    I love this watch, my original one had battery issues. Garmin warrantied it for half price even after it was 2 years old. I will buy another one when this one gets long in the tooth. The watch is super useful for navigating and fitness. Its definitely saved me a few times!

    Rugged

    I put this purchase off for way too long because of the price. But looking back, I could have spent three times as much on a watch and have features that I don’t really want. I love it! The battery lasts about 4 weeks even without sunlight. I downloaded the manual and put it in a binder for reference. Much to learn about, but intuitive. Just buy it!
