Smart watch Garmin Instinct, tundra Review

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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

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…

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…

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…

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…

Has pros: Very happy with the purchase. He writes workouts well, it is convenient to analyze in the application. Scratch resistant - after 4 months of active use, you can distinguish from new ones only by small scuffs on the strap. Cons: Complicated menu, long to understand (but a lot of functions.

Different pros: The battery holds for a very long time. You forget that you are wearing a watch that needs to be whinnied. Top quality Has some cons Such functionality should cost 10-12 thousand, but the brand still

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.

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 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.

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…

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)))))
