Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

Acquired in September 2022. Since then, I have already run 890 km with them. I swam in the pool, took a shower in them. I really like the number of measurements, pulse, pace, speed, distance . I won’t even list everything, because I don’t use it. Recently I set up 5 different fields on one screen that I needed. Removed the rest. Very cool thing - a metronome. Allows you to adjust your cadence to reduce stress on your knees and joints (cadence). I removed all notifications from my smartphone…

Pros
  • Lightweight and comfortable. Contrast screen - you can see everything in the sun. A large number of measurements and their accuracy. Custom fields. Abrasion resistant screen. Waterproof.
Cons
  • Except the thickness. I often wear a shirt with cufflinks, so it is not always convenient with cuffs. Can't hide clock. Still, I prefer to wear around the clock.

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

This is my first fitness tracker. I run regularly and on holidays I ride a bike (usually when traveling). It was for running, in the first place, that I needed a device. For the phone is not the best assistant, especially for running indoors or on the track. Of course, I compared and analyzed the models for a long time, because I wanted something more than a fitness watch - but not more than 20k. Only Suunto Traverse (old), Ambit peak 3 remained in the final, which could be bought for 17-20…

Pros
  • Appearance - really impressive sports militaristic style. At the same time, he is very restrained, if someone thinks that the guys in the office will laugh - do not believe it: even the director quietly envy me, not to mention the owners of huveys and samsungs. An interesting set of functions - for example, you can measure the area, it is very convenient for gardeners. Accurate fitness tracker, support for all major sports, including - running, indoor cycling.
Cons
  • The functionality / price ratio in 2022 does not hold water. Garmin Explore maps take up a lot of space on your phone.

Since in 2-3 weeks on hikes it happens that the memory is almost completely clogged (sometimes 2-3 megabytes), I had to install firmware version 10.0 myself, where they finally made it possible to delete 1.7 MB of language files from the watch. Almost 30 language files are always in memory - I don't know a single person to whom this would be relevant. If there is any other firmware, then at the first synchronization all deleted files are restored. After removing the excess "garbage", 7.22 MB…

Pros
  • 1. Support for Garmin Explore software for me, a hiker, it's insanely convenient. 2. The screen without backlight is visible in the slightest light - even the light of the moon is enough. 3. A huge bunch of all kinds of workouts - and you can create your own (in fact, the data is the same everywhere, just the name of the workout and screens change) 4. Drank golf entirely. But it's still on Garmin Connect(.
Cons
  • 1. Memory. Excuse me here, but it's clearly a scam. Declared 16 MB, in fact free 5.34 MB out of 7.87 MB that are visible when connected to a PC. They said 16 MB - so let's say 16 MB, but here, in fact, only 8 MB. I switched to Instinct from Forerunner 235 and there is 11 MB free, and nothing needs to be deleted. 2. ate system. When synchronizing with a phone or PC, a new firmware is uploaded via cable, devouring another 2-2.5 MB of memory, as a result, if you do not constantly clean the memory, you can get into a very unpleasant mess that when ating, the clock will simply hang and you need to do a reset. 3. When practicing "swimming", the pulse is not written. It is not written either in the pool, or in open water, or even when an external strap is connected.

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

The most important thing in this watch is the screen. At dusk and during the day, the image is no worse than that of electronic ink. Viewing angles - almost 180 degrees. The disadvantage, perhaps, is in the design - they took the square screen from the Forerunner 35 and placed it in a round case. The optical heart rate monitor, of course, is lying. It is such by nature, or rather the nature of a person is such that pulsations from the heart do not always reach the small capillaries on the…

Pros
  • - Best screen in its class. For such a screen, you can forgive all the shortcomings! - Light weight, - Balanced functionality - Very long battery life, declared two weeks for them, as it turned out, is not the limit, - Ability to connect external sensors.
Cons
  • - Failed compass, - Spontaneously pressed buttons, - Uncomfortable and unaesthetic strap. - Limited number of watch faces, - Possible difficulties with self-disassembly.

With its pros. I decided to start using smart watches, the main focus was on sports (daily jogging, horizontal bars, etc.), I reviewed a bunch of reviews and comparisons and realized that the stub is not informative + the balalaika sits down in one day with active use, and even the android does not connect, popular Chinese brands did not inspire confidence due to double reviews, well, extra show-offs were not needed (I'm talking about raw software, freezing, battery) and then I came across a…

I chose a reliable plastic case according to the criterion (because I constantly touch all corners), smart watch functions, water protection, stress and weather resistance. According to all these criteria, only this watch came up. Lightweight, reliable and comfortable. Easy control, clear and intuitive. If you are outside or at work and you do not hear a call, the watch will warn you about incoming calls and messages, it will also silently wake you up early in the morning so as not to wake up…

Pros
  • Reliability of the case, ease of management, good application.
Cons
  • Did not reveal

Moved from Gear S3 Frontier. I still remember them with warmth, but there were several critical shortcomings - the screen turned off at rest (the constantly on mode consumed the battery for half a day, but it is not visible at all in the sun), plus they dropped workouts! It’s very disappointing, I set a workout meter, you run, and this application falls on the clock and nothing is tracked. There is no such thing in these - I measured bike rides of 60 km and so on.

Pros
  • 1. Very light 2. Look cool 3. Excellent battery life! 4. Super software in terms of activity tracking, excellent data export to the Web 6. A bunch of sensors, barometer, altimeter, thermometer, etc. 7. Always-on screen, perfectly readable in the sun
Cons
  • They don’t support loading custom watch faces, but I don’t consider this a minus, because I knew about it in advance, and they are not needed with this screen

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

I have been using it since February 2022. I use it mainly for training: skiing in winter, running in summer. There are no complaints about gps, everything is quite accurate. The altimeter at the same point, for example in an apartment, shows different heights, but for me this is not important. I don't use smart watch. Somewhere after 4 months of use, I stopped recording the pulse, more precisely: everything is displayed on the watch display, everything works, and when I synchronize via PC, from

Pros
  • Comfortable strap durable screen (will not scratch) does not glare in any sun excellent gps very tenacious battery even at 20% backlight the site has ready-made workouts for certain distances (for running and other types)
Cons
  • Stops counting pulse and steps

A super watch for simple men who don't care about any nonsense! Standard functions are conveniently at hand, a simple and intuitive menu and options reveal a bunch of workouts, you can keep a full record of your actions and sports exercises for the day, it's convenient to view statistics and of course your favorite function to find phone))) The 2022 language looks quite nice and I use it for medium activity, these hours are enough for me, I don’t pretend to be a master of sports in sports! I…

Pros
  • Not big, but not small either, brutal, they hold the battery for a long time, just a song on your hand and you don’t notice
Cons
  • The glass glares, which means that from the tactical side, the enemy can notice you in sunny weather, but I'm sure this will not come in handy and, if necessary, you can stick a film)

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I took a watch for swimming, tracking the weather, recording a track on a sailing yacht. And if everything is ok with the last one, then here's the rest. The worst thing is the work of the altimeter. Sometimes he thinks I'm moving up and down when I'm not. It comes to the point of absurdity - during sleep I can rise several tens of meters and descend. And just the current height "creeps away". Using auto-calibration just out the battery, but does not solve the problem. Due to incorrect…

Pros
  • Moisture protection heart rate monitor Holds battery well contrast screen GPS
Cons
  • Thermometer Altimeter Barometer (more on that below)

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

I chose between iWatch and Garmin for a long time, but still I need a watch, not a gadget, in the end I made myself a gift for NG -Instinct. I’m very satisfied with the hours, the more I wear, the more I like it) They sit mega-comfortably on the arm, they almost don’t feel it, the strap is beyond praise, a lot of holes for adjustment + the tip of the strap is fixed with an elastic band, it doesn’t slip, and I think it won’t be hot in summer, t . to. Lots of holes for ventilation. Bright…

Pros
  • 1. Appearance 2. Holds a charge for a long time 3. Very good on the hand and very comfortable strap 4. Functionality 5. Quality of materials.
Cons
  • 1. The font of notifications is small, you have to strain your eyesight. 2. Well, the display is too small, with this size of the case.

Great watch. Exactly what is needed. Rugged design, You can swim. Continuous monitoring of heart rate, steps, floors, sleep, activity, calories, stress. The screen is always on. Exact time (by gps). Comp, altimeter, pressure, sunrise/sunset time. You can memorize points in space and then return to them. A lot of exercises, including in the gym (without gps). Smart functions are a necessary minimum - read notifications (sms, mail, vatsap, etc. ), you can respond with prepared answers. Call…

Pros
  • Very balanced functionality. The battery charge lasts for a long time.
Cons
  • The garmin connect app drains my phone quickly.

Has some pros Customization for yourself, you can turn them even into a bike computer, even into a navigator. There are no maps, but the track guidance works well. You can set landmarks from points on the fly. And in conjunction with a smartphone and a program, Garmin Explorer is generally excellent. Because you instantly see on the phone on the map where you are going, where you went, what points you set, where you went and where to go next. And you can immediately correct or draw a new track,

Garmin did not expect such an attitude towards the client, disappointed in the quality. This is my first and last watch from Garmin.

Pros
  • design
Cons
  • non-repairable! the temperature and pressure sensors broke after 1.5 years of wear. Both Garmin Global and the local representative in Kazakhstan refused to change/repair.

Switched from Apple Watch 4 and have no regrets. They live for a long time, scratches are not terrible, not touch, the screen suits completely and always works. Yes, they are inferior to AW in software, you can’t put them on the outputs, you can’t pay or listen to music from them. But on the other hand, this is a watch with almost all the functionality I need, which does not need to be charged every day.

Pros
  • They hold for a long time - without training you can squeeze 2 weeks It’s hard to catch scratches, especially on blue ones you can’t see them at all + the display is recessed The display is perfectly readable in any light, even in low light, and is especially good in bright The time is always displayed, which is rare for modern watches.
Cons
  • They overestimate the performance when swimming by 1.5 times, I will try to compare more The application is not terrible compared to Apple, but it lags far behind No dial customization. I want to change the pulse for the weather Vibration - whoever had AW will understand + they always vibrate, even when not on hand

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

Pros below: Excellent functionality - navigation and training mode, which can count repetitions. I especially liked the walking mode with navigation - after a walk or hike, you can analyze the intensity and the exact route traveled. Assembled like a tank, holds the battery perfectly! Different cons: Russification is crooked - I use English. The protective cap for the charging port had to be bought separately - it is clearly needed here.

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The purchase was not worth it at all.

The watch was bought for going out into nature, with the ability to detect the direction, put a point, return to the base camp, in case there is no adult navi with you, that is, in fact, for the functionality of the tracker, everything worked pretty well here, except that you can preliminarily 5 times get lost in the menu The autonomy time was generally satisfactory, they lived for about 5-7 days in mixed mode. Fitness functions were used quite rarely, call / message management was not used…

Pros
  • Pleasant enough design, navigation, temperature and altitude sensors
Cons
  • Complicated menu, broke after half a year

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

cons, these are rather shortcomings, and I'm sure they will fix them. for me personally, life before and after buying a garmin instinct sunburst has changed, I don’t regret the purchase one bit. workouts have become more correct, competent and under control, running has become even more pleasant and comfortable. EXCELLENT COMPANY, EXCELLENT WATCH AND EXCELLENT MOOD FROM PURCHASE)))))

Pros
  • - on the hand sit very comfortably, comfortably and easily. - the screen is visible under any external conditions, clearly and readable. -Battery: with full sync, full alerts, backlight at 30% and training for about 2.5 hours, more than 8 days, with disabled synchronization, notifications, operating time more than 10 days now there is constant synchronization, notification of calls and sms, and also 2.5 hours of training, - watch material, easy to wash and clean, no matter what, I am constantly with different fuels and lubricants and so on, it is also durable, not a single hint of a scratch or damage. -when measuring the pulse with the help of a watch and a tonometer, there is no difference. -tracking distance,altitude and speed accurate. -when the watch is removed, the pulse stops reading after 5 seconds, and 20 seconds when placed on the arm.
Cons
  • - inaccurate accounting of sleep (generalization of rest and sleep at the same time) - not an accurate count of floors (but this is not critical) -there were not big problems with the synchronization of connect and huawey, but after the ate, everything was fixed. -backlight triggering, when the function is on, backlight triggering, when raising your hand, while driving, it’s not very convenient for me personally.
