    My brother has one and loves it. I have a Fenix 3 I really love and still use. I just happen to fall into this watch, price was to good to pass up. I have yet to take it into the woods but if it is anything close to my Fenix I am sure I will love it.

    I like the watch but it won’t give me my texts on it. I’ve done everything possible I even wiped it clean and reinstalled it and still nothing but other than that it’s good.

    Bought this a few weeks ago because I had to deploy as a Marine and my apple watch doesn’t last more than a few hours without charge. Another feature that was important was the ‘stealth mode’ which turns off all emission for spectrum concealment which is an issue from the Ukrain-Russian conflict. I value my life so apple, you’re out! Garmin you’re in! There are so many great features that help as a military man such as the ballistics feature and the MGSG coordinate feature if you use GPS. I haven’t had to the use the land navigation feature but it is there in case I need it. The app is great too and Im looking forward to connecting to a computer soon so I can try the maps feature. I definitely plan to use this as a daily watch as it is so helpful with seeing how Ive been sleeping and how active I am. It can tell very accurately when I am fatigued and can tell me why! Usually because of sleep. Keeping better track of my sleep has helped with a less intake of energy drinks which also compounds to how much I cam push myself in training in the gym and during martial arts. The Body battery feature is awesome and the stress tracker is very accurate . I occasionally check my stress level and practice my breathing prayers to bring it low which helps with sleep and compounds to training results. The tactical color is also good. Black is good and matches most casual clothes + is authorized for wear in the field. It was a pain to link to my phone though but Im confident that is a stumbling block apple products use to push people to buy their eco system products.

    When it’s connects it works great best watch I’ve ever had. Problem is when I’m working it tends to reset itself and then refuses to reconnect. I’ve fixed it once but it has done it again and now I can’t get it to reconnect

    The altitude is not accurate after the 1st week, important feature if you want to use the tactical function like jumpmaster or ballistics. Needing Cell connection for those features may not be possible in most area's where you need.

    I’ve had the watch two weeks and still haven’t had to charge it, even though it’s winter and I’m using all the features all the time. It has everything you could possibly need in a watch and a few things you probably don’t but you never know! Recommended this to two friends and they’re already wearing them. Awesome watch with fantastic features.

    I’ve had this watch for just about a year now and it has been the best decision I’ve made when purchasing a watch. The only thing that could make it better is if the torch light was on the east marker of the watch (I wear the watch on the left wrist) this suggestion is only because of how much work I do with my hands in tight places. However this is not a dealbreaker. The watch is awesome.

    I have had this watch for a few weeks now. I had a galaxy s3 previously. I bought the instinct for its navagation and health monitoring. It took a while to get used to the buttons. I still push the wrong one at times. One issue is if you have a task running in the background you lose your sleep data. I love the battery life. Be aware if you use the nav functions it will kill your battery. I was interested in the ballistics calculator until I saw the $$$$. I'll use the free ones on my phone. I love the "site and go" function on the phone.

    Watch Band Sucks

    This has the worst watch band in industry. It is annoying because it is sticky and uncomfortable due to material. I had to try several and finally found a new band for it. If you buy one definitely get a different band this one is uncomfortable. The watch is ok but the lettering in menu difficult to read for older people. It is not something i would have bought myself only have it cause it was a gift.
