That’s what I like
Had “A”nother brand of watch the required charging every day. What a nice feature to go for two weeks between charging. Like all other Garmin gadgets once you get familiar with features & functions it’s a tool.

Doesn’t have the feature I’d like, but it said it
It sucks. I bought it to coordinate with my Garmin 2000 I and there is no dog icon on the set.

Quality Garmin
I like that it uses buttons instead of a touch screen but it takes some getting used to

Has Met my expectations.
I have looked at Garmin watches that would pair with my Garmin 200i for a couple of years. The price on the Instinct E-45mm finally convinced me to buy. The watch has met my expectations. I know that Garmin has some watches that might map or give me information better, but this watch really is all I need.

I ran 5 miles with the watch today it was connected to my Garmin app and the watch told me my time every mile I ran through my headphones. I really appreciate SHEELS for setting the watch and connected to my Garmin app. I really enjoy my Garmin instinct watch.

I liked my old Instinct watch much better. didnot have as much unwanted info on it. Plus can hardly read the info on the watch because it is so small, I need to put on glasses. plus I really don't know how to use it. Been trying to firgure out how to get rid of stuff on the watch I don't use.

Time face number needs to be more pronounced.
This is my second Garmin. My last one was a solar. It functions the same. If I had a wish it would be to make the time display brighter and darker to see the numbers better.

Good Beginner Health/Activity Smartwatch
Good beginner health/activity smartwatch. It's decently accurate with what it monitors, although the auto-pause features can be finicky when you start moving again or are slowly meandering when the dogs are sniffing around. An annoying aspect is that even though it continuously monitors your temperature, it doesn't support monitoring it during sleep so that value is missing in the sleep report to detect abnormalities. There also isn't a way to do a quick-add for hydration from the watch, so I have to open the app on my phone every time before I forget to keep track, which can be tedious while at work. The battery duration between charges is less than expected from what was advertised, but still superior compared to other common smartwatch brands according to my colleagues.

I love this device
This is my second one. My original Garmin is still in great shape but this has some interface and capability updates that I really thought I would use. The buttons are now more recessed so you don't bump them by accident and there are numerous improvements to the display. I hike, bike and work out frequently even at 70 YO and I can't imagine being without it. I recommend it to anyone who is active.

Incredibly frustrating. Garmin support is little to no help. Tiny print instructions that I can'ty even read with my reading glasses.

I have had this watch for a couple of weeks. I bought it to pair with my bike heart rate. I am not a tech savvy person, so I had to work at navigating some of the screens. Now I think I have most of it but still need to learn more. I have tried to broadcast the heart rate to my EDGE 540 bike computer and cannot seem to get it. In retrospect I may have been better off getting the touch screen version. Having to push buttons to find and change screens takes more time and does not seem as easy to navigate. Switching to the stopwatch or timer feels clumsy. It may still be that I need to learn how to set my preferred screens but as of now I am still learning.

Enhanced from older Instinct watches
An enhancement from the last Instinct watch that I owned. I like the automation and classifications for working out. I still in discovery mode regarding adding other work areas, like flying.
