GPS You Can Count On

You’ve never been one to follow the beaten path — that’s where Instinct comes in. GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite network capability tracks in more challenging environments than GPS alone. The built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter help you keep your bearings. Take the guesswork out of your return journey by using the TracBack feature to navigate the same route back to start.

Monitor and Train

The Instinct GPS watch estimates your heart rate, activity and stress throughout the day, so you know how much you do — and how hard you’re working to do it. When you’re ready to train, we’ve got you covered with preloaded activity profiles for running, biking, swimming and more.

    Lovely watch great first 2 days , But then disconnects from phone?
    Uninstalled garmin connect and installed again has suggested works for a very short period, Problem solved ,If you activate the battery saver it disconnects from the phone, So now I’ve discovered this I am changing my review Great watch long battery life lots of features I like ,Buttons take a little bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of them 🙂 A really good watch

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI needed a rugged fitness tracker as opposed to a smart watch. Thankfully the Garmin’s smart capabilities are minimal and can be turned off. This has the advantage of maximising battery life well beyond the 14 days suggested. So far: strimming, chopping logs, grass cutting, hedge trimming, rubble loading have all gone without a hitch. The altimeter is flakey, today it has me at -127 feet when I am 387 above sea level. The sleep monitor is beyond optimistic. But everything else seems ok.

    Like the watch, bad quality strap. The strap keeper loops broke after about a year, strap slots failed recently. Spoke to Garmin customer support – because I’ve had in 2 years 6 months they won’t replace the strap (2 year warranty)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good watch - bad strap

    Was fed up of my Apple Watch, constantly having to charge it. I play golf, love the Garmin golf watches so thought I would get this. It’s great, looks great, feels great, and 31 days battery life!!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIt’s a fairly standard sports watch but the solar glass means that I only charge it every few weeks which to me is great. Just to be fair and honest If one was using it to track long days hiking it would need charging more frequently but for me the solar glass is a real bonus.
    I’m a slow learner but I soon got the better of it and have to say I am perfectly satisfied.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI knew I was getting a good watch from Garmin and I wasn’t disappoint, this has made my life very easy in my job when it comes to the GPS being very accurate for grid references and bearings. The battery easily last a week with out charging it and hasn’t been a problem in different climates. As my first Garmin watch I’m not disappointed and definitely recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersGot this for my husband’s birthday present after it was recommended by my BIL. He’s been wanting an apple watch for a while (which I have) but felt like he’d smash the screen on one of those within a day or two due to the nature of his work. So this Garmin looks and feels very sturdy – it getting damaged wasn’t a concern – and he works outside so the fact it’s solar powered is brilliant. He’d been wearing it out of the box for over a week straight and the battery life was ’10 days’ left on it. The tracking aspects are good too, though the screen and buttons are definitely not as simple to use as something like an Apple Watch. I am sure the tracking is more accurate on this than an Apple, too. I personally loved that the alarm setting can be set to ‘vibrate only’ so his loud alarms were no longer waking me up in the morning! Unfortunately this is another wearable that he cannot wear as it has burned him. This is now the third wearable I’ve gifted him and all of them have burned him right where the heat sensor is. This one took longer than a FitBit to do its damage but *sigh* here we are. Really unfortunate as this watch was ideal for him in every way. Of course I’ve missed the return window – so after reading up on this on Garmin forums it seems to be an issue some people have. I think some people just have ultra sensitive skin that doesn’t do well with heat sensors of any kind. I will be contacting Garmin Support to see if they can help with this in any way.

    4.0 out of 5 stars If you're prone to being burned by wearables do not buy.
