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 - 1 month 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a number of factors, including performing certain activities that flex your wrist, using the wrong activity profile, or outdated software on your watch.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.

Liked the price
I bought for the dog tracking feature. The watch band is acceptable but I can’t wear to bed.

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.

Easy to Use and Worth It!
It’s great! A little confusing, and you have to download a few apps to get certain functions (highly recommended getting the Garmin app) but the base features are nice and easy to use! Loved the sleep score function, really detailed. It charges fast and lasts days.

Instinct E
I like the simplicity of it compared to Instinct 2. But, not too many days. Only 16 compared to 28. Good enough for me, though.

I like this more than I thought I would
Had the watch for a couple of weeks now after switching from a Samsung. Love the fact that it battery hold a charge. Samsung always died in the middle of the day, and could not wear at night. Didn't realize that it was buttons and not a touch screen when I purchased. Once I got used to the buttons it has been easy to use.

Instinct E Great Replacement for Samsung
I bought the Instinct E because of its great battery duration compared to my Samsung watch. I also like the garmin ecosystem as it connects to many of my cycling apps. I will say the watchband isn't long enough.

User friendly
I’ve had my watch about a month. The setup was easy. The battery lasts up to 16 days on a charge which is great. The watch face is easy to read. Absolutely, no complaints. It is definitely an upgrade over a Fitbit.
