Me siento muy feliz con mi Garmin, lo único es que no he aprendido a manejarlo bien ya que las aplicaciones son un poco complicadas la free y las otras hay que comprarlas...

nice but not so nice
I purcjase this watch that was recombined to me by a family member, but after wearing for a week it did not record any sleep info that I really wanted to view except when manually input so I retuned this watch and I purchased a vivoactive 6which is giving me the info I desire

All the features that I need.
Currently training for my first 70.3 Ironman event and needed more training data than Strava. I also wanted to keep it simple. This watch meets all of my needs and uploads to Strava so my community can follow my progress. Pairing the watch to my Garman account making this a powerful training tool with a very small learning curve, very intuitive device. After a month of use I am very happy with my purchase.

Love it
Recently got the farming instinct. I love it. Not as easy to use as the Apple Watch but seems more durable and way longer battery life.
From Garmin
Excellent Watch!
I bought this watch about 2 weeks and so far I’m very happy with it. It has what I need from an outdoor watch and the ruggedness for it.

Great replacement for my Instinct 1st Gen.
I got this to replace my 1st generation instinct that could not be serviced by the company. I expected the same quality that I had with the 1st but it exceeded my expectations. The GPS acquisition is almost instant when I turn the watch on. I'm very satisfied with the purchase. The data transfer to my smartphone is very fast also.
From Garmin
Almost perfect
I love everything about the watch except it would never show iMessage notifications in the watch. I tried everything online: make sure all notifications on for the watch and my phone, no DND mode, no battery saving mode, I paired and unpaired, software all up to date, I even factory reset. Absolutely nothing worked. Every other notification worked though. Had to go back to my apple watch. Wildly disappointed.
From Garmin
Extremely Durable
I’ve bumped, scrapped, and bashed this thing on so many surfaces, nothing.

Great Watch!
Love it so far. The watch does everything I need and more!

Awesome watch
You get what you pay for, and this is no exception. I'm very active and this watch stands up to it! It is rather simple to use which is nice. Whether I'm walking, swimming, doing construction, this watch delivers. The only drawback is I can't find a way to make the watch face brighter (not the backlight feature). After trying a competitors smart watch which failed quickly, I am very well pleased with the functionality and durability of this watch. I would recommend it to everyone.

Excellent Features
I had the watch for about two weeks and I really like everything it can do.

Works great
Bought a few weeks ago after finding out that I was once again in pre-diabetes range. I decided I needed to get serious about weight management and I knew that walking was great for this.

Great Info!
I received this watch as a birthday and Father’s Day gift and it has not disappointed. As an older athlete, I’m finding the things that it monitors to be very helpful and important. I already feel like I wouldn’t want to be without it!
From Garmin
Excellent build quality. As advertised. Solid battery life.

Golf app doesn't work
Received as a gift, recommened as it's supposed to have a golf app. Tried it a few times and it doesn't work. Very sad. Buy a dedicated golf watch instead.

Instinct 2 replaced my D2 Charlie.
My deceased son gave me his old D2 Charlie Aviator's watch a year or so before he died. I got used to some of the features. Knowing the age of the battery and watch Garmin would not service the watch. I missed the features I grown accustomed to, the Instinct came the closest to D2 Charlie.
From Garmin
Great for multi use functionality
I bought this watch after talking to some other buddies who are in the fire service as it gives us the second counter for when we’re running medical calls but it also allows me to track my off shift working out. The features are fantastic and I haven’t had any issues with anything on the watch so far. I have recommended it to a couple other buddies who bought the newer version since this one is no longer available and they share the same sentiment.
