  • The perfect smartwatch for people who dislike smartwatches.
Style: Instinct Color: Graphite
This model came out from Garmin at the same time I was starting to seriously want a device for a mixture of tracking activity, in my case most of which is outdoor oriented, like hiking and riding my mountain bike, plus I wanted to start exploring some physical data from a heart rate monitor as I get more active. When smartwatches first started becoming popular, I thought they were pretty stupid and redundant, and in my mind a teeny tiny 2" screen will never replace a phone screen which is small enough, especially for GPS navigation duty. However, the function of getting the sensors and GPS antenna in a more favorable location, plus heart rate monitoring, I could see the benefits of a smartwatch. I didn't like most of what was on the market until this unit. What I liked about this watch was it didn't have all the features and bloated interface to replace interacting with your phone for things a phone is best at. In some ways the Instinct is a throwback to older tech, but in a good way, the way anyone who has experience with GPS from the time it first became widely available for consumer use will appreciate. The interface will just make sense if you were used to the older devices. It does all the things you might want your phone to do, but a phone is not really suited to doing well. I disliked using my phone for tracking hikes and on my MTN bike because either the phone was safe in my pocket with a horrible view of the sky and where I couldn't see it, or I had it strapped on my handlebars where it could get knocked off. Or while hiking I had to pack it in my hands or strapped to my backpack in an awkward position. Not to mention if you use GPS on the phone and keep the screen on to see stats, it will hit the battery hard. With this, you can tuck the phone safely away but still see the info you want. This watch was the right combo of features for outdoor activities and activity tracking to get my attention and be a useful tool more than an expensive trinket. I did not wear any watch before buying the Instinct, and now I wear this most of the time for the last 2-3 weeks I've had it. While it lacks some features of more dedicated fitness devices, I got it mostly for what it did not have rather than what it did. Most criticism of this watch I read prior to purchasing clearly was because this watch has a niche and those folks didn't fit it. This is mostly for outdoor activities, it's simple, rugged, and doesn't do as much because it's made to do it's set of tasks well, and it's trade off is the things it does not do allow it to be smaller and use the battery more efficiently. You can read up on it's features and functions elsewhere, but a few things I will point out as exceptional. Some may harp on the old school LCD type display, but it's high contrast and the way the face catches ambient light extremely well makes it very easy to read. Actually I set the back light on 5%, it's lowest setting, because if it's so dark you need the back light, that is plenty to see it by. I like it's size, it's not huge feeling, and it's light. As I mentioned I did not wear a watch before this one, and I find it comfortable to wear despite a history of disliking things on my wrist. I had to get used to it yes, but it's not like having a rock strapped to your arm. Battery life has been great, using the GPS 2-3 times a week for an hour at a time pulls it down some but I still get over a week on a charge. I've yet to let it run down to the point it claims it needs charging, but so far I've yet to charge it in a period of less than 7 days. Definitely a personal preference but I also really like it's appearance. I got the Graphite colored one, it's not black but kind of a charcoal grey. It's not preppy looking or stylish, and that's what I'm going for. It does not give off that "oh look at me I'm athletic I have a fitbit" vibe, or look super snazzy and expensive, it just looks like a run of the mill boring watch if no one inspects it closely. For sure a more utility look, and for folks who would get the most out of this watch, that's probably perfect. Also will throw in there for my mountain bike, I later picked up Garmin's cadence and speed sensors, and they paired up effortlessly with the Instinct. GPS will cheat you distance on a bike especially and that is just the nature of the tech, I was getting some big discrepancies between the Instinct's recorded track and my wheel sensor bike computer. The trails I ride on frequently are a particular hardship for GPS anyway with heavy tree cover and tightly winding trails. With the speed sensor the difference is much smaller and I recommend it if you are going to use this on a bike. So far I've been very happy with the purchase and impressed with the device, enough to write this lengthy review, which I don't bother with often. (I did lean heavily on reviews deciding to purchase, so this is to help those like me.) If you fall into the niche this watch is intended to appeal to, I recommend it. ... show more

  • Desert Rat Mountain Biking Watch
Style: Instinct Color: Graphite
The Instinct was purchased at retail price from Amazon. No compensation was received for this review. Introduction: I mountain biked in southern Arizona and confirmed on multiple excursions that, solo, my sense of direction was truly abysmal. A Garmin eTrex GPS and an analog Seiko watch kept me from the lost/disoriented/helicopter rescue stuff. The GPS/watch combo worked for several years until April when the band broke on my trusty Seiko and I lost it down a ravine. Seeking a lighter and more robust solution, I bought this watch in May and write this review after 5 months of active biking and hiking. Review: The Instinct has been reviewed, praised, admired and generally pushed atop the same high pedestal as other Garmin watches and discrete GPS devices. The Garmin legend was built with nail-tough-hardware but frustrating and needlessly complicated software. The watch manual is an easy read and details pretty much everything that you need for operation. This review will focus on user details and tips that are not detailed in the manual but may significantly flavor the decision to purchase. 1. The AFR (Arizona Fusion Reactor) in the sky washed out the lcd display on every watch, camera, cellphone that I have used with one exception: this watch. The monochrome, transreflective screen on this baby was completely legible under 12:00 noon Arizona sunshine. Really, truly, no marketing BS – the watch face and screen text are perfectly clear. If you live in the southwest deserts, you know exactly why I shoved this factor to the top of the list and why a Garmin watch with this screen technology should be on the wrist of every desert rat. 2. Constant ON Display. Hey, no need to flip the watch up or any other nonsense to read the screen. If you have ever owned a watch or fitness tracker that required some type of action from you to activate the screen, you will know what a RECURRENT PAIN that becomes after a while. Anytime you want to sneak a peek at time, date, heart rate … just move your eye balls. 3. The fourteen day battery is - - - - a bit of a stretch. Possibly a couch potato tracking trips to the bathroom or something but seven day battery life for biking is real. OK – if you use the GPS and forget to turn it off, the battery life drops but with an hour of GPS per day you can easily get 6 days and 7 days if one battery bar remaining doesn’t cause you panic. Try going 7 days with your Apple or Android watch. 4. No touch screen. Just a personal thing. I hate touch screens on watches – buttons are king. 5. The Android phone application is polished, comprehensive and most important – it works flawlessly. The app is covered in Garmin documentation but several things are not sufficiently emphasized. a. Sleep app can be edited post data acquisition to correct bed/wake times. b. Body battery includes data on heart beat variability and exercise history. I thought the battery concept was hokey until I understood the science behind it. c. Activities are specific and comprehensive. For example, there are multiple biking activity categories that allow tailoring to the specific type that you enjoy. This is not just a road/mountain bike choice but subsets of each type. This is useful because the energy expended may differ within the subset and permits better estimation of actual effort. d. Data ported to watch is useful. An example is the weather information available on the watch. Not only are the current temp and conditions shown but a second menu shows the next 4 hours of weather and the next 4 days of conditions. Arizona weather is pretty boring (sun, sun, sun) but this is handy up north where conditions change frequently. e. Bluetooth is a beast. I do not know the “official” range but it pairs instantly with the phone and I have never lost connection. Sometimes the watch calls out to the phone (in my car) at night and they chat for a bit. I suspect they are discussing my girlfriend. f. Best of all – you do not have to use the phone application at all. The watch is completely independent and you can leave the phone at home during your exercise. Conclusion: The Garmin Instinct addressed my biking needs/wants/expectations. Just get over the fact that it doesn’t include the photo of your German Sheppard on the watch face, 100GB of music/video or Starlink. At the end of the biking day, with the GPS off and trip data securely on the phone, the Instinct LEDs continue to flash – tracking your heartrate and beat variations. It watches your sleep depth, duration and energy expenditures. It even reminds you of your wedding anniversary! Reading the reviews on Amazon, it is clear that some folks were not happy with the Instinct, however; in this rat's humble opinion, Garmin hit this completely out of the park and if I lose this thing in the mountains, I would purchase another one the same day (assuming I found my way home GPSless). ... show more
