    Features do not work.

    Xero locations doesn't work. I have a friend who has this exact watch and it works for him. Target won't let me return the watch by mail. So now I have to drive an hour and a half each way to a Target store to return it. I'll never buy anything from Target again, and you shouldn't either.

    Love this watch! I prefer it over my Apple Watch. Battery lasts a very long time, and overall it’s just a very durable watch with many features.

    Great running watch

    I got this because I wanted a simpler and smaller watch with MIP display for road and trail running. I also have the older Instinct 2S and wanted to compare. This does not have the solar feature of the 2S, but it really doesn’t need it. Almost everything is improved over the 2S. The display is easier to read, it picks up GPS faster, everything works more quickly. GPS tracking is accurate. Battery life is not as good as the 2S, but it’s more than adequate for my purposes. If you’re running 50, 100 milers, it might not have the battery you need in GPS mode. But for marathon or 50k distance, it’s more than enough. All in all, a lot of watch in a small package for a reasonable price.

    Confusing Buttons

    I have it for 2 weeks and still confused with "lap" button. Screwed up two workouts already because of it. Other than that watches are doing what they need to do.

    Hassle at best

    I am fairly new to this watch but: The fit is not good, band is terrible and buttons hard to access/use. The settings are really hard to use with a very confusing button activity. Choices on setup of the screen are very limited and not intuitive. All in all it is the worst purchase I have made in a very long time, Maybe at half the price I would be willing to tolerate this thing but I doubt it. I am looking at it now and do not understand what some of the indications even mean on the face. Yes I have gone through all of the videos and instructions. Most of this stuff cannot be changed. Also no assistance available.

    Good watch

    Doesn’t read heat rate accurately, too many workout options on weight, I like all the read info it produces
    1 reply from Care team - 3 months ago
    If you're noticing heart rate issues, this may be caused by a number of factors, including performing certain activities that flex your wrist, using the wrong activity profile, or outdated software on your watch. For more information on heart rate accuracy, please refer to this FAQ: http://ms.spr.ly/6429tGgbU If you need help beyond that, please call Garmin Support at 800-800-1020 to speak with an associate about this.

    Simple to use

    I was looking for a watch with GPS on it. The GPS is easy to use, but the smart phone features are too broad. Would be nice to limit my alerts to just the important ones to just text, calls, and e-mail.

    Does everything I'm looking for

    Been using this watch for about a month as a replacement for a lower model Instinct watch that I lost on a trip to Africa. I hike, cycle, ski...and a few other things. The GPS works everywhere, as did the older model. I like to keep track of my activities and export them to STRAVA. Everything works flawlessly. The health metrics are also a nice to have feature. Got this watch on sale and its worth every penny.
