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.

Monochrome screen. Won't connect to tablet. Connect is a powerful program. Upgraded to another model.

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.

Perfect for this hiker girl!
I love the smaller size and colors, I got a special edition color. It has all of the features I want including tracking health data (including sleep, stress, and VO2 max), accurate GPS and elevation/altitude data, tides, weather, sun and moon data, plus the option to turn on or off notifications. I keep mine off cuz it is good to have me time. I also have very sensitive skin and have had no issues! Charging is easy and it is rough and tough and waterproof! A lot of flexibility with apps, replaceable bands, and connectIQ. I have had no issues with the display not being bright enough and the flashlight feature works in a pinch. If you need more light that’s what a headlamp is for! Perfect “smart” watch for me!

Great health watch!
I have been wearing the watch since 2/14. I like the features but notice when I hike the distance is about 1/3 less than actual or when I use it on walk. I would like to figure out why this happens.

Amazing amount of features!
I got this watch as a replacement for a FitBit. So glad I upgraded. I am still learning all the features of this watch, and look forward to using it to track my health and activities (hiking, biking, etc).
