Best gadget and totally delivers what it says.

Though Garmin Instinct is one of the best sports watches available. I currently have one (blue). However I had problems with this particular color sent to me by four and seven seller. It's vibrator started making uneven noises during vibrations that made me to ask for the replacement and subsequent refund. Otherwise the watch honestly is a mini version of Fenix series of watches in terms of it's functionality....

These watches after warranty period, if you face problems.. it costs a lot.. I had vivoactive4 which has battery problem.. it shuts down quickly when doing pulsox reading, GPS syncing, It's of no use for me , they said it will cost 12k RS to repair😂.. I am thinking of buying Apple watch

This one is not touch screen

I have seen lots of good reviews because of i purchased now it's stopped no sencor is working no digital working its like dummy peace.

The main reason for buying my G.I was for off track hiking. I used it several times over the last week hiking in some fairly dense eucalyptus woodlands here in Western Australia. Coupled with my map and compass I was able to confidently hike and navigate my way around my intended walk AND most importantly get safely back to my initial staging point. Location checking when I crossed tracks or waterways confirmed nicely where my map and compass suggested I ought to be. I am a big advocate for the saying – if something is easy to do, you will do it more often. So having a GPS on your wrist, obtainable by just long pressing one button then you will use that more versus the hassle of pulling out a handheld GPS unit, firing it up, recording your position, turning it off then packing it safely back away. Backing up my map and compass navigation, the on-board GPS was both convenient and accurate. Having quick response times was like having cream on the pie. It just made it better to use - way more convenient than my Garmin e-Trex! I plotted my last known location per the watch GPS on my map, then determined my course to travel manually from that point back to my staging point (using my map & compass) – approximately 4km’s away. I glued my nose to my compass (there were not a lot of trees to distinguish to set off towards as I was constantly having to check the ground for foot placement (& snakes)) - but quickly found target trees soon became difficult to find because after moving 5-10m what I saw to walk towards quickly looked totally different as I got closer or as the filtered light changed shadows and shapes of trees and I could not often find the tree I initially set out to walk to. Thus I glued my nose to my compass and followed my calculated bearing. I easily found camp and pleasantly fluked heading precisely directly towards my car (although that was more good luck than good management!). It would be more reasonable for me to have expected to have arrived somewhere near to my starting point not precisely at my car – that bit was just luck! (Battery life reduces dramatically when you start recording your track on the watch so I prefer to use the GPS locator (on the watch or previously on my e-Trex) function on it’s own! – and would recommend this to everyone. If you have to rely on the track back feature or on recording your walk to work out how to get back to the start – then you should not be out there! I prefer to map my course, work to compass bearings / headings, record my progress on both the map AND on a separate waterproof note pad – incorporating travel time as well. I record my GPS readings on the note pad (to refer back to in case I found I was not where I ought to have been) but the map is relied upon significantly for staying oriented – so the GPS is of significance to my outback navigating safety and confidence. I can check my dead reckoning skills AND enhance them knowing I have a way to check the accuracy of same myself. This factor alone is a major thing for me. The altimeter readings on the watch were used effectively by me as a secondary orientation ‘check’ and were an effective aid to confirming my ‘general position’ when using my altitude reading and agreeing it to the map contours at my estimated location. The altimeter is - in my opinion from my use of it, quite reasonably accurate – and more than sufficient for it’s role (viz as a back up secondary orientation / navigation tool). My map contours were located at 5m intervals and given my “dot” that my sharpie would draw is probably between 1.5-2.5mm diameter, any greater precision would have been generalised down due to the map area coverage of said ‘dot’. The long battery life (2 weeks) gives me a lot of confidence in the watch and enable me to place a strong reliance on it as a significant navigation item in my kit – noting though that I do not navigate by recording my walk / hike – which drop it down to something ridiculous like 40 hours! That’s not confidence inspiring if you were to get lost and had to rough it for a night OR two. Losing your battery power is not what I would want. Sure I have a back up (my Garmin e-Trex in my pack) but I like that to remain totally redundant and not have to rely on it at all. I am very happy with the watch for both time keeping and navigating. The bonus features (heart rate, steps, compass) are just pleasant extras to play with. My first and primary reason for purchasing it was for it’s navigational value and it has definitely met those requirements.

Muy ligero aunque no muy compacto, igualmente es estéticamente atractivo, la estética de un reloj deportivo clásico y las funciones de un sport tracker completo, tiene casi todos los deportes que he practicado alguna vez (paracaidismo, buceo no se incluyen) el monitor cardíaco es bueno pero con el sudor excesivo falla un poco, el monitor de sueño es escalofriantemente preciso, la batería dura como lo promocionan, lo tengo conectado a un sensor de velocidad en la bicicleta de spinning y funciona muy bien, el gps llega a tardar en localizar en ocasiones, conectado al teléfono se ubica rápido y lo puedes desconectar una vez localizado, si viajas dentro del país o a otros países te conviene revisar los satélites de localización (gps, glonass, galileo) que orbitan en la zona y hora de tus actividades para configurar correctamente las actividades (se pueden configurar de forma independiente) y tener precisión o batería según lo requieras además de que te ubique rápidamente, las notificaciones funcionan de forma correcta, mensajes se leen bien y las llamadas se pueden aceptar o rechazar, lo único molesto son las notificaciones de la aplicación y las llamadas perdidas que aunque las marques como leídas no desaparecen hasta que resincronices con el teléfono, la alerta de tormenta es muy precisa y en general la única falla de diseño es el sensor de temperatura ambiental que requiere que te quites el reloj lo dejes a la intemperie un rato.

Nice and rugged, love the colour, big and chunky. Amazing battery life, love the voice notifications during a workout e.g during indoor row 🚣🏻 my current heart rate is announced to me through my headphones 🎧. Decided to give it 5 stars but there are a couple of annoying issue that don't bother me now but may others. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 3 with touch screen and thought I'd miss that but its not a problem at all. The watch has many programmable options available however it was initially very frustrating trying to set it up & activate exercise program. But after trial and error it's all set up the way I like it. Also the Connect IQ shop app doesn't really support the watch but Garmin Connect tracker works perfectly recording my workouts. For me it does exactly what I need it to do, tracking all my workouts and notifying email & messages etc whilst working & some extras I didn't expect. Overal so far I'm very happy with its functionality, performance and build.

It serves to all my needs. I am a hard core hiker and this watch is very useful. Battery is fine. Features are more than enough. It's a raw tool with no fancy stuff. All that I wanted.
