For the outdoor adventurer, the Garmin Instinct is indispensable: built to military standards, it offers useful course tracking and rugged construction at an affordable price point. A vivid array of colors, a 100-meter water resistance, and a vented silicone band add to its back-to-basics appeal.

I liked the feel, size, and appearance of this watch. I also do a small amount of hiking which is why I purchased. However, I am an avid runner and have had multiple garmin running devices and the distance and pace accuracy of this model is not up to par compared to previous Garmin watches.

I had previously had nothing but fit it's prior to this. Went through three in two years decided it was time to get something tougher. So far love this watch, reminds me of my G-shocks from my Army days.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my significant other. He loves it! I felt that one of those Apple watches wouldn't have worked with the way he swings his arms. He's showered with it and has even bumped it into things but it's still good as new.

It's only been a few days and it has taken a while to work out even just some basic features but it seems a pretty awesome watch. Very comfortable (hardly feel it on my wrist) and even though my wrist is small there are plenty more loops for even smaller wrists.

Its the best relation with price and spects, very strong, easy to use, multisport, and best price.

Amazing product! My boyfriend is a marathon runner and her absolutely loves this watch!

This past July at Eurobike, Wahoo announced their two latest trainers – the near-annual update of their mainstay, the Wahoo KICKR (2018 Edition), as well as a new lower priced trainer – the KICKR CORE.

As you know, Garmin's range of rugged smartwatches was limited to flagship models Fenix ​​and Tactix. The manufacturer decided to release new outdoor smartwatch. Garmin Instinct is one of the most durable Garmin watches made to the military standard.

Backcountry fitness junkies take note, the Garmin Instinct Solar has more data than you will ever need, and enough battery to go the distance (as long as you’ve got sun).
