Review on Garmin Instinct Solar GPS Smartwatch - Flame Red (010-02293-21) W/ 2X Screen Protectors by Michael Willis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great battery life

I was looking for a fitness device with a round screen and mainly wanted heart rate and steps. I've been wearing the Suunto Vector for 20 years now. It ticked all the boxes and then some. The battery lasts about a month if you're not out in the sun a lot, and then it can be longer. It has a few features that I disabled. Like notifications and incoming calls. Features a hidden mode for even more battery saving. Customizable faces for the information you want. It will take a little time to set up all the necessary quick access fields. I currently have a compass, sunrise/sunset, moonrise/set, sun intensity, heart rate monitor, weather and daily stats. The main wall is great for constantly having HB and steps. Comfortable bracelet and light watch. Very happy with the purchase. Jobs paid for much of it with the health initiative. But I would still buy it. I don't want to charge my watch/gym every day and I don't need cellular service.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
