Review on Smart watch Garmin Instinct Solar 45 mm, graphite by Czeslawa Gorska ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It was a bad idea to buy this, money wasted.

This is not a timepiece I would suggest. The name recognition alone accounts for a whopping two-thirds of the price. An Apple Watch or Huawei GT, which is three times less expensive but has the same speed, features, and battery life as an equivalent Suunto, is the better choice. This is the first and last time I ever buy a Garmin watch. Only accept harmins with a valid guarantee if you insist on buying them. For the simple reason that the quality is subpar. My old watch's compass and barometer stopped working after only six months, so I had to get it replaced. Although approved dealer servicing is reliable. We give the case a one star and the seller's service a one rating.

Pros
  • Constantly-on screen, reliable construction, Navicom service, user-friendly interface.
Cons
  • Just a waste of money. The altimeter displays the weather, while the barometer reads between 10 and 20 mm Hg. When swimming in open water, it's a minor miracle if you manage to estimate your strokes and distance correctly. The charging cord is weak. Expect to pay more than 10% of the watch's original price for the cable if you lose it. (Original). Smart watch modes typically only retain +/- 14 of the 26 days advertised when used without training and with the GPS and blood oxygen saturation sensor turned off. I had the compass for six months before they replaced it because it lied to me between seventy and ninety degrees, no matter how many times I calibrated it.
