Garmin Instinct Solar, Rugged Outdoor Smartwatch with Solar Charging Capabilities, Built-in Sports Apps and Health Monitoring, Sunburst Yellow

I never knew I needed to monitor my gaming/esports . Lol. This was a great deal ($100) and it's actually more advanced and accurate than my vivoactive 3 in some ways. The instinct has many features and activities that weren't included and had to be sought out through 3rd party developers, which I'm all for, but I also like to have key exercises and activities, such as hiking, which has advanced navigation features built in on the Instinct , and the esports which is pretty helpful for tracking how much time effort I put into gaming and it's effects on my health . I'm not really a streamer but I checked out that streamup app and will probably download Stream Labs or another compatible program again just to try out the integration. It looked pretty cool in the video I watched on the Garmin site. The battery life is amazing so far, i haven't gone on any serious journeys, but I use it every day for walking, Yoga, and esports and the battery is still about half full a few days in. I can't wait to get it in the woods and try the map and navigation features, like using a course plotted in explore, or strava, or fatmap, or possibly even all trails. This watch has more options than I thought when I went into buying it.This isn't a typical smart watch. I think of this of more like a smart GPS and ABC combined with an advanced activity tracker and health monitor. It still boasts a a very graphical and detailed display even though it's basically a simple black LCD display. It also has alot of alert and alarm sounds as well as haptic vibration. You can still control your music, read text messages, accept and reject calls, and many other smart watch activities, just like you would on the touch screen type of device. The buttons become pretty intuitive but were a little bit of a learning curve as I've had the vivoactive for a couple of years now . There are many fields to each watch face which are easily customizable, as are activities. The instinct has many built in widgets, activities, and controls that you can choose from and customize every aspect of. This allow you to shape the experience you want. Combine all of that with the retro styling and it's a no-brainer.

Watch: Garmin Instinct Tactical - Coyote TanPros:-Great physical design and aesthetic-Easy to read digital layouts for all modes-GPS functionality and accuracy-Lightweight; sleek band-Great battery so far-Durability - shockproofCons:-Not touchscreen (I personally don't consider this a con)-Screen could be a little bigger-Workout mode isn't what I expectedRead on for my extensive review:I've had this watch for about 2 weeks. I'll update this review if anything changes. I initially started looking for rugged watches as I work at a plant and sweat my ass off outside and climb ladders and go inside vessels, get dirty, etc. I needed/wanted something I could wear daily in this environment that would be sturdy and immune to the elements. I have a few divers watches and other casual watches I would wear and these were sturdy too, but I was always super conscious wearing them and worrying about scratching or damaging them. I looked extensively at G-Shocks, as I owned one long ago, and due to their superb reputation. However, they all seemed too bulky or too messy on the screens - too much going on and too difficult to actually tell time. Then, of course, I looked at Apple watches. I converted last year to Apple after being a life long Android user, and their technology and tech. functionality is sometimes unparalleled. But, I didn't want an Apple watch because I thought it would have too many features. I didn't want to be staring at my watch all day like some people stare at their phone. Plus, I for sure do not think an Apple watch should be worn in the environment I work in. Also not a fan of square watch faces. Enter Garmin. Hadn't owned a Garmin product or watch yet but had heard great things and was always blown away by their features. I went to their website to peruse and saw this watch and new it was "the one".It's a very lightweight and minimal design, but looks great (militaristic) and is large enough for easy readability and operation. 3 buttons on the left of the case, 2 on the right. All work without a problem, easy to click but positioned in spots where they are not easily bumped (I had a problem with the crown of one watch getting stuck on pants pockets all the time). Everything about the watch is able to be customized - watch face/main display, widget order, GPS selection, 3D distance and speed measuring, black or white face, backlight brightness and time out, favorite sports or activity, etc. Pairing the watch my phone was a breeze for the first time, just had to download the Connect app and make an account. Watch pairs with my phone within seconds every time I turn it on since. Speaking to the app, it's a great fitness app (in my opinion) for a virgin to smart watches and fit watches. App tracks heart rate (resting, high, average, variation throughout the day), body battery (uses sleep vs. energy exertion to estimate - I can't speak to this as I don't wear the watch to sleep - just my preference), stress level based on heart rate zone, intensity minutes (your goal, moderate and vigorous), steps, floors, estimated calories, and more. When activating an activity and then saving it on the watch, it's saved to the app and viewable for as long as you want. Also shows activity over the last 7 days. I've been using the watch for hiking and biking and love the features for these - distance, speed (ave, max., min.), time, estimated calories, difficulty level, GPS, trail tracking (shows the trail within 0.2mi of your position for back tracking on the watch face), altitude change, and more. I really enjoy being able to save routes and upload them to the app and see on the map an exact route I took - again, my first smart watch so this is novel to me. Backlight functionality is able to be customized for when you want it to turn on (motion activated based on wrist turn), duration, and brightness. This is very convenient. Other smart watch benefits - call/text/notification display (can't reply or call someone on this watch alone though), music control, calendar and event display, weather display (current, hourly, daily), sunrise and sunset/twilight, etc. There is essentially no delay from when using a command on the watch to control your phone, or between getting a text on your phone and it showing on the watch. I can not speak to the night vision compatibility (I don't own night vision goggles), or other settings like Jumpmaster, as I'm not in the military. Stealth mode is essentially airplane mode - going off the grid for no GPS or data tracking, no backlight, no vibration or noise. Battery life is great and is living up to how long Garmin says it can last. Also seems pretty durable. The screen is recessed a little so it's protected, and I've bumped the case a few times on stuff at work or whatever and it doesn't even have a scratch.Only downsides I've had is that the screen was a little smaller than I expected (inside the bezel there is a outline where it says "Tactical" and labels the watch buttons. This is permanent and not part of the screen). And then the other downside is the mode for weightlifting, as I go to the gym regularly. If you select this mode it wants you to keep selecting the number of reps you did and I just don't like having to do this. Maybe I just haven't messed with the feature enough, but when I'm at the gym I'm there to workout. Not stare at my watch and play with the buttons.Overall, I think this is one of the most functional, accurate, best designed, and durable smart watches on the market that has lots of customization and features, but doesn't distract me from what I'm doing and doesn't do too much. In the end this is just meant to be a highly functioning watch. Not a computer on your wrist.

I love garmin products. This is my second garmin watch, the data collection is very intuitive and works well with my android phone.Concerns I had getting this specific watch: size and color (it's orange afterall). I am not a big boned person, I am 5'2" with fairly small wrists. I do no think the size of this watch is too big and I wear it everywhere and all the time. It is sort of big and a little bulky but the pros and functionality outweighs any size concerns. I obviously have the orange version, it's a great color and almost acts like a neutral in my wardrobe it's weird how that works out but it does. I work in a professional work environment and wear this watch everyday and I don't feel like it detracts from my wardrobe look.Functionality: the solar charging is phenomenal, we are outside on the lake most of year, kayaking and paddleboarding, in the 6 months I have owned this watch I have only needed to charge it with wall charger 3 times, all the other charging has been solar. I love that a single charge can get 26-28 days of use. I don't use alot of sports or GPS tracking on a daily basis. I track my steps, sleep, weight (myfitness pal to my renpro scale hack), when I do track sports I love that it syncs to strava. I love the gps map for my paddling on the lake. I like that I get my basic notifications from my smartphone like phone calls and text messages- you can't respond to texts but I don't need to from my watch, the trade off is the long battery life. This watch also works great for linking to wahoo cycling accessories for my indoor cycling data, which again will sync to strava.This watch is a great fitness tracker and I know I am not using it to it's fullest abilities but that's perfectly fine with me. Garmin is a superior fitness device and this watch is a great option in their lineup.
