I really like this sport watch. I use it for m...onitoring my daily exercise routine and it gives me the motivation to meet my goals. The GPS function is great as well. I also like that it is rugged and will not break if dropped and the long battery life is great as well. If I use the GPS function on a daily basis (for my 30 min run) the battery lasts about 8 days. Limiting the GPS function to once or twice a week and the battery will last 2 weeks. I highly recommend this watch.

The watch looks cool and rugged in ...the pics however it feels like a toy swatch when you get it. Functions are good. Also battery meter stays at full until right before it dies then drops to zero. I was between getting the instinct or the Samsung frontier. I should have went w the Samsung. A little bummed.

5 Sta...rs by first impressions, but plagued by SP02 LED failures and inability to connect to Garmin Connect (read online complaints) so half the features don't work within a year. Never mind the Mil Spec ruggedness ruining it - It's worst enemy is flawed hardware and software. One huge design flaw: The ABC sensor is on bottom blocked by wrist surface! So readings are "IFY" at best. You will go back and forth with 5 or 6 of these before you get one that can last more than a year. Also, case is fused together, so you can't service the battery like other watches! Shame on Garmin for making such a POS product that could have been so promising. Also, Garmin Express software does not open once installed on Win or Mac computers so you cannot update or register watch!

While this watch only has a... simple black and white display, it does everything I need it to, including navigation and providing alerts from my phone. Battery like is terrific - I'm going on 2 weeks on my first charge. Also, the construction and design are very rugged. This will take much more abuse than my now deceased Apple watch, which cracked from a minor hit. My only complaint is that the heart rate monitor is very susceptible to movement, but my Apple watch wasn't much better.
