 We're going to navigate courses which is what we planned. Let's enter on courses and it brings up the course because the Gps watch knows where we are. It puts the nearest course at the top which is the Beric Walk. Let's enter on that

 So two hours walking 5.61 miles will burn 650 calories, average speed 2.8 and total ascent as well. So again, if we tap here, it gives us the key data that's been collected

 Whether it's a Pc or Mac, it makes no difference. Now to transfer this onto your watch, you just need to go to one of the videos. So below you see the various videos and you'll see one that says transferring your routes to a Garmin Gps Watches Video Six, Just press play on that and that will take you through how you put it onto the Garmin Instinct watch. So with the start of the walk, now, what do we need to do to start this Gps watch Off navigating this and also recording this route

 Last seven days averages average 11 119 steps a day. that's all within that Connect app. But the key thing I've brought on to look at today is just so we can see that Northumberland navigate which the walkway I've just completed with the Instinct 2s and again it even says down the bottom instinct 2s It tells you what it's been recorded on and again it's really nice. It overlays it and you can show somewhere where you've been

Walk with a GPS watch - Garmin Instinct 2s

Very rugged watch that I wear pretty much every day for work and tracking daily activities like hiking, trail running, biking, etc. Great mix of activity tracking and smartwatch features without being annoying.

Everything I buy or an experience I have I want to get value from it. This could be buying a premium product at a good price or an excursion that takes advantage of my time in an area. No matter the situation my purchases must have VALUE! Where do you find value?

<div class="md"><p>Everything I buy or an experience I have I want to get value from it. This could be buying a premium product at a good price or an excursion that takes advantage of my time in an area. No matter the situation my purchases must have VALUE! Where do you find value?</p>
</div>

When I think of frugality I think of value. What are some items or services that have great VALUE to you?

  As it stands, both of these watches left me wondering, “Why not just purchase a handheld Garmin GPS with an inherently larger screen for times when I need Garmin gps features? Or why not buy an Apple Watch for the premier smart watch experience and add the Workoutdoors app to it? Ultimately I put All Trails on my phone, and a regular watch on my wrist.

 It’s just too expensive to be a direct sunlight only watch. And as to the weather data, why can’t Garmin just let you choose which weather widget to sync to on your phone? At a bare minimum, the weather data issue should be fixed. Had it worked, I would have kept the Instinct 2.  As mentioned, if you want a gps enabled fitness watch, and don’t care about the shortcomings I’ve mentioned, either of these would work, but I think the real value is the Instinct 2

This will be a simultaneous review of the Garmin Instinct 2 and the Garmin Fenix line, my particular model being the 6 sapphire. There are already plenty of in-depth technical reviews and videos out there, so my comments will be directed to the watch enthusiast like me, looking to step into the world of smart watches, without going Apple Watch, or looking to upgrade from a non-gps ABC watch. Also, if you’re super sold on the various training aids, gps integration, etc., then my comment probably won’t matter

From a watch enthusiast perspective, needs improvement

 It was really, really good here and then going down it was a very proper dumpster fire which is pretty common for wrist-based optical heart rate sensors if we look at this hike. Edit: again going up it was great and going down. it wasn't bad, it just wasn't like spot on or anything like that. And then finally I look at one of my wife's sessions where she did the bike first for 30 minutes and then she did a strength kind of lifting session

 Again, a spot on if we look at that gravel mountain bike you can see going up. It was pretty much spot-on as well. It was really, really good here and then going down it was a very proper dumpster fire which is pretty common for wrist-based optical heart rate sensors if we look at this hike. Edit: again going up it was great and going down

 Uh, between the base editions and the Solar editions. And of course, from a design standpoint, you'll either love or hate the Instinct series looks. It's got a little bit of that casio flare to it, or rather a lot of that casio flare to it. Meaning, it has a full ruggedized exterior, but has the smarts of any other normal garment watch

Garmin Instinct 2 In-Depth Review: 12 Things You Need To Know!

Anyone else not bring your phone? Or not use it primary for GPS role?

I used to bring my phone for every trip , load Gaiagps, track steps, time distance, etc. Then I realized I look at it all the time, never feel "in the wilderness". 

Last year I started bringing Paper maps, regular compass and my inreach Mini. Every time I stop I try to triangulate where I am on paper, then confirm coordinates with the Inreach. (I do add waypoints[car, poi's etc] to Inreach for emergency purposes)

I wont lie, I have been turned around, wrong trail, and wrong place a few times, but each time was a great learning experience where I went wrong navigating and dead reckoning.

Who doesn't bring their phone?

 But they said one more was all I got. Kinda seems like BS you pay $300+ for a watch and it's basically good for a year before you either have to get a free refurb or a new one. Now I'm without an "athletic" watch to track workouts so I'll need a new one. Probably will go with Garmin again but if it does not last 2+ years (without getting a refurb), then that's my last Garmin

 Now I'm without an "athletic" watch to track workouts so I'll need a new one. Probably will go with Garmin again but if it does not last 2+ years (without getting a refurb), then that's my last Garmin. Note: I suppose I am a "heavy" user as I track daily runs/workouts and wear the watch in all elements. Point still stands that it should last longer

 In general, it's a decent watch. Tracks runs, swims, biking all pretty well and is accurate in that tracking. Also connects to phones easily and has nice connectivity with reading texts, etc. But like I said above - if the watch can only last a year what is the point? I contacted Garmin directly when my first instinct died and they sent me a refurbished one for free

Decent watch but I would not recommend it to anyone else. I purchased my first Garmin Instinct Tactical in early 2020. In ~2.5 years I've gone through two of them and each has had the same issue at the end of its life - it stops connecting to Bluetooth and GPS and the battery life becomes non-existent

No Longevity

 But they've updated the Instinct Solar with a lot of new features and many of those features that you all requested like more training performance features, advanced sleep tracking, multi-sport and triathlon modes, and even some features that just came out with Garmin's high-end Phoenix 7 and Epic Sports watches. And one more interesting tidbit is that this 45 millimeter Instinct Solar actually has the potential for unlimited battery life as a smart watch. More details on that in here just one bit. So I've been testing the new Instinct 2 out for quite a bit, and in today's video, I'll be going over everything new with the entire lineup of Instinct Sports watches

 so on the first set, it tracked a bit high, but nothing crazy by any means. But then over most of the workout, it was actually more in line with the chest heart rate strap that you see in green than even the other optical heart rate monitor that I was wearing on my arm. On the high intensity intervals at the end of my workout, it did track high on the last two intervals, but overall, this is a very respectable result for weight training. Oh, and then lastly, I also wanted to mention that the Instinct 2 compared to a bunch of external sensors and these are going to be both bluetooth as well as Amp Plus sensors

 And then for running. pretty good here too for the most part. At the beginning it took about 45 seconds to lock on and then it was good. For the first few minutes it did veer off just for a couple moments right around the 5 minute mark, but after that it was solid for the rest of the run

 On the high intensity intervals at the end of my workout, it did track high on the last two intervals, but overall, this is a very respectable result for weight training. Oh, and then lastly, I also wanted to mention that the Instinct 2 compared to a bunch of external sensors and these are going to be both bluetooth as well as Amp Plus sensors. so compared to external heart rate monitors, speed and cadence sensors, recycling power meters for cycling, foot pods, verb action cameras, temperature sensors as well as in reach, satellite communication systems, dog track sensors, as well as smart trainers. So as you can tell, Garmin's packed in a lot of new features with the Instinct too
