Specs are great on this watch, however, I find the watch bulky on my wrist. But that's coming from a previous apple user so getting use to it.

Just what I needed

Bought this a few weeks ago because I had to deploy as a Marine and my apple watch doesn’t last more than a few hours without charge. Another feature that was important was the ‘stealth mode’ which turns off all emission for spectrum concealment which is an issue from the Ukrain-Russian conflict. I value my life so apple, you’re out! Garmin you’re in! There are so many great features that help as a military man such as the ballistics feature and the MGSG coordinate feature if you use GPS. I...

Awesome piece of equipment

It has so many features, that it may seem overwhelming at first, but it's fairly easy once you get started.

Fair, not intuitive to set up or use.

Watch is not simple to set up nor to use. I had an Apple Watch and now regret switching to this watch.

Absolutely amazing watch!

Got this for Christmas and wanted it to track my fitness and ability to mark my locations for hunting and it does all of it and more! Amazing battery life and great features! Super comfortable and light weight, the light on it has come in handy so many times already! I would recommend 10 out of 10!

Good but I have connections issues

When it’s connects it works great best watch I’ve ever had. Problem is when I’m working it tends to reset itself and then refuses to reconnect. I’ve fixed it once but it has done it again and now I can’t get it to reconnect

Overall good

The altitude is not accurate after the 1st week, important feature if you want to use the tactical function like jumpmaster or ballistics. Needing Cell connection for those features may not be possible in most area's where you need.

Everything you need!

I’ve had the watch two weeks and still haven’t had to charge it, even though it’s winter and I’m using all the features all the time. It has everything you could possibly need in a watch and a few things you probably don’t but you never know! Recommended this to two friends and they’re already wearing them. Awesome watch with fantastic features.

Amazing watch

I’ve had this watch for just about a year now and it has been the best decision I’ve made when purchasing a watch. The only thing that could make it better is if the torch light was on the east marker of the watch (I wear the watch on the left wrist) this suggestion is only because of how much work I do with my hands in tight places. However this is not a dealbreaker. The watch is awesome.

Great watch!

Love this watch. The tracking features are great for hunting, hiking and any sport in between. Haven't used the ballistics app yet but looking forward to using it this spring.

A whole lot in a little package.

I have had this watch for a few weeks now. I had a galaxy s3 previously. I bought the instinct for its navagation and health monitoring. It took a while to get used to the buttons. I still push the wrong one at times. One issue is if you have a task running in the background you lose your sleep data. I love the battery life. Be aware if you use the nav functions it will kill your battery. I was interested in the ballistics calculator until I saw the $$$$. I'll use the free ones on my ph...

Watch Band Sucks

This has the worst watch band in industry. It is annoying because it is sticky and uncomfortable due to material. I had to try several and finally found a new band for it. If you buy one definitely get a different band this one is uncomfortable. The watch is ok but the lettering in menu difficult to read for older people. It is not something i would have bought myself only have it cause it was a gift.

Awesome!

I already had the instinct tactical and loved it, but after I got hit on my motorcycle while wearing it and got the bezel ring scuffed up I wanted another one...this one is even better and with longer battery life.

Great features

I bought almost a month, I like the features, but don’t like that it keeps logging step when I and just sitting down, making it inaccurate and I can’t remember to remove it from my wrist every time I am not walking. I do miss colors on the screen but for the money it should have since is a 2x. But that’s my opinion, overall it is perfectly fine.
