My Garmin Instince E
This replaced my Garmin Instinct 2 Which was great but I needed the larger face so I could read it better. Love having so much info at one glance.

Hassle at best
I am fairly new to this watch but: The fit is not good, band is terrible and buttons hard to access/use. The settings are really hard to use with a very confusing button activity. Choices on setup of the screen are very limited and not intuitive. All in all it is the worst purchase I have made in a very long time, Maybe at half the price I would be willing to toler...

Liked the price
I bought for the dog tracking feature. The watch band is acceptable but I can’t wear to bed.

Simple to use
I was looking for a watch with GPS on it. The GPS is easy to use, but the smart phone features are too broad. Would be nice to limit my alerts to just the important ones to just text, calls, and e-mail.

Does everything I'm looking for
Been using this watch for about a month as a replacement for a lower model Instinct watch that I lost on a trip to Africa. I hike, cycle, ski...and a few other things. The GPS works everywhere, as did the older model. I like to keep track of my activities and export them to STRAVA. Everything works flawlessly. The health metrics are also a nice to have feature. Got...

Easy to Use and Worth It!
It’s great! A little confusing, and you have to download a few apps to get certain functions (highly recommended getting the Garmin app) but the base features are nice and easy to use! Loved the sleep score function, really detailed.
It charges fast and lasts days.

I like the simplicity of it compared to Instinct 2. But, not too many days. Only 16 compared to 28. Good enough for me, though.

Garmin gets it done!
Super simple and classic feel. I enjoy this watch and the Garmin connect app.
I use the watch to monitor my health, the information for my sleep and overall health is great. Great watch!

I like this more than I thought I would
Had the watch for a couple of weeks now after switching from a Samsung. Love the fact that it battery hold a charge. Samsung always died in the middle of the day, and could not wear at night. Didn't realize that it was buttons and not a touch screen when I purchased. Once I got used to the buttons it has been easy to use.

Returned, disliked very much
Monochrome screen. Won't connect to tablet. Connect is a powerful program. Upgraded to another model.

User friendly
I’ve had my watch about a month. The setup was easy. The battery lasts up to 16 days on a charge which is great. The watch face is easy to read. Absolutely, no complaints. It is definitely an upgrade over a Fitbit.
