Garmin Instinct Solar

* Syncing: Most of the time it syncs via bluetooth to my phone inside the Connect app automatically, sometimes I have to refresh it or have it sync from the watch menu. Clunky at times, but only an issue once or twice. * Messaging, Phone: There is functionality to screen phone calls and texts, which has been unexpectedly great. If someone texts me or calls I can see if it's important without looking at my phone and potentially getting derailed by that.

I really wanted to like this product. I charged it fully before my 4 day, 3 night trip to the Eagle Cap Wilderness. I loved the idea of having more reliable maps, activity tracking, solar power, and the connectivity through the app so my family could follow my route and know that I was safe. Unfortu...

I'm currently using a Garmin Instinct Solar. Continuous HR and HRV monitoring. Battery 3+ weeks. Much better with tracking workouts and stuff.

Can i connect the instinct Solar with the Orbea RS toolbox? This would be very nice, or what can i do to connet the instinct solar with this toolbox for the bike?

I have a pretty nice watch collection. Usually rotate timepiece 2x a week. My wife gifted me the Garmin Instinct Solar for Christmas. Put on Christmas morning. Hasn’t been off my wrist since. Damn I love this thing. Saving up for the Tactical.

First watch I've purchased in ten years - wore G-Shock for five years while I was in the service. This watch is a perfect hybrid of the badassitude of the rugged G-Shock and the subtle functionality of Garmin's GPS watches. The battery life is incredible, as long as you're not running the GPS consta...

I signed up for Amazon Prime recently to try it out and learned that the Instinct Solar is marked down for Prime day. If I use Discover Card Reward points I get 40% off. Total price $219. Totally worth the wait.

I wore another watch (Timex) for many years. In the last year the need arose for a watch to also measure heart rate and steps. I looked at an Apple Watch but it is only partially waterproof, and only has a short time between battery recharging. My new Garmin Instinct Solar can hold a charge for up t...

Been using mine since April or May and its great. Had a samsung but the touchscreen sucked for running, it didnt work at all when wet, scratched easily and the battery needed charging about every 24 hours. The Instinct Solar has not let me down yet.

Update: yesterday, started to itch and swelled up (see last photo) down graded to two stars. I’ve had multiple watches (suunto, Luminox, timex, gshock,etc) with silicon bands but this is the only one that gave me skin rash/bump. I want to keep the watch, so I’ll just have to start shopping for repla...
