Time Face Number Needs To Be More Pronounced.

This is my second Garmin. My last one was a solar. It functions the same. If I had a wish it would be to make the time display brighter and darker to see the numbers better.

Watch Is A Waste Of Money.

I dislike this watch and I put it on . did not like it functioned buttons were very difficult to operate. it finally ceased to communicate with my phone and would not restart. I returned it it's in in a week.

Fitness Overall

Excellent fitness list statuses and temperature climate indicator.

Good Beginner Health/activity Smartwatch

Good beginner health/activity smartwatch. It's decently accurate with what it monitors, although the auto-pause features can be finicky when you start moving again or are slowly meandering when the dogs are sniffing around. An annoying aspect is that even though it continuously monitors your temperature, it doesn't support monitoring it during sleep so that value is missing in the sleep report to detect abnormalities. There also isn't a way to do a quick-add for hydration from the watch, so I have to open the app on my phone every time before I forget to keep track, which can be tedious while at work. The battery duration between charges is less than expected from what was advertised, but still superior compared to other common smartwatch brands according to my colleagues.

I Love This Device

This is my second one. My original Garmin is still in great shape but this has some interface and capability updates that I really thought I would use. The buttons are now more recessed so you don't bump them by accident and there are numerous improvements to the display. I hike, bike and work out frequently even at 70 YO and I can't imagine being without it. I recommend it to anyone who is active.

I have had this watch for a couple of weeks. I bought it to pair with my bike heart rate. I am not a tech savvy person, so I had to work at navigating some of the screens. Now I think I have most of it but still need to learn more. I have tried to broadcast the heart rate to my EDGE 540 bike computer and cannot seem to get it. In retrospect I may have been better off getting the touch screen version. Having to push buttons to find and change screens takes more time and does not seem as easy to navigate. Switching to the stopwatch or timer feels clumsy. It may still be that I need to learn how to set my preferred screens but as of now I am still learning.

Great watch! Lots of features! Having fun learning how to use them all.

Enhanced From Older Instinct Watches

An enhancement from the last Instinct watch that I owned. I like the automation and classifications for working out. I still in discovery mode regarding adding other work areas, like flying.

Instinct E -45 Is An Awoke Watch!

The Instinct E - 45 is great watch. It rs very accurate, easy to set up, and use. I used You Tube videos to acquainted myself with the watch and learn the different functions. It has been a great upgrade from the Fitbit I used fir quite shimmering.

Awesome Watch

My wife bought me the Instinct E for father’s day. I really like it. I had the original Instinct for 5 years and I really liked it. The Instinct E is a great upgrade from the original. I really like it!

Attractive Watch With Many Functions.

I’ve had it for a weeks now. So far it’s been exactly what I was wanting. Battery last a reasonable time unless you turn the GPS on. That really takes it down. I have the e40 which is about a perfect size for my wrist (7”). Any larger wrist than that you will need a longer band. It took me awhile to get it setup and a face that had all the info I wanted at a glance. Overall pretty happy with it.

Nice V!!

The best for ptece of mind. So many features in a great looking watch !!

Maybe It Will Grow On Me?

This my fourth Garmin, and it's by far my least favorite. I had a fenix 6 before this (my fenix 6 abruptly died, and no longer charges), and the feel of this one kind of reminds me of the old G-Shock watches. It's not stylish at all, so I will only wear it for my workouts and then switch to something with personality. I plan to put it to the test in a short race, so I will report back.
