I bought this because my Rip Curl tide watch needed a new battery but I was disappointed to learn that I had to send it away to be replaced. My other watch is an Apple Watch but there are seemingly no good surfing widgets for it. I discovered this Garmin Instinct Solar Surf and was willing to give it a shot. I’m glad I did, because I love it more everyday. The battery life is incredible, and also gets extended the more I’m out in the sun. I love having tide and sunrise/sunset info right at hand since I live next to the beach. I’ve also enjoyed leaning about my sleep patterns through the Garmin Connect app. In all, this watch does everything I want it to and more.

Great CONCEPT item, but thousands of these fail SP02 LED sensors and have to be returned to Garmin (If it's still under warranty) - Just read the complaints online. Also, barometric / altitude sensor is flush with skin surface at wrist, blocking off readings, unlike the Casio ABC watches. Third big problem - Garmin Express is downloadable online to register watch and update, etc...But it doesn't open! These watches unfortunately are an abysmal failure due to bad design. I own four new ones (less than a year old - One SP02 failed; the others get blocked from altitude / barometric readings (as stated); Garmin Express can't be used for any (and all) of these. Garmin is unresponsive to fix their software online. These watches appear to many to be a five star design, because they are clueless about these problems.Read full review

Tracks every wave you got, excellent for running and mostly for your every day watch. My favorite watch so far.
