Review on 🌲 Garmin 010-N2064-00 Instinct: Rugged Outdoor Watch with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Heart Rate Monitoring, 3-axis Compass - Graphite by Michael Adams

I've had the watch for less than a year and one of the buttons has already stopped working. The "abc" button in the bottom left corner that I use every day is no longer clickable. I use this watch no more than the average person, I certainly don't run marathons with it. Also, I live at sea level and the altimeter doesn't work properly at all, never did. I spoke to a Garmin rep and they said that the way the barometer reacts to sea level air pressure doesn't give an accurate reading. Alright, let it slide. I've noticed that they go into "low power mode" very often, although I didn't suggest it. Although I'm not a marathon runner, I still spent money on this watch and mostly on its notification features. , altimeter and durability. However, it doesn't send text notifications from my iPhone. It handles calls, emails, WhatsApp, and other third-party app notifications with no issues, but I can't see normal SMS previews, which is relatively disappointing. The things I find with relative accuracy are time, heart rate, steps, lunar cycle and date. The calorie burning rate is far off, you need to connect it to Garmin APP all the time to get weather or music control. The counter on the stairs as well as the altimeter are everywhere. After not climbing any stairs for a day, I randomly get a "10 step goal" notification. may not be able to use it as advertised. It looks solid, but apparently the buttons don't live up to the name, and now that it's almost a year old I can't even return it, just stuck with a broken $150 watch that's now in mine drawer will live. Just buy a G-Shock, time will tell and it will last for many years without problems.
