Garmin Instinct® E 40mm, Rugged Outdoor GPS Smartwatch, 24/7 Health Monitoring, Wrist-Based Heart Rate, Up to 16 Days of Battery Life, Charcoal

Bought a few weeks ago and I am very satisfied with my purchase. This watch has a 2 week battery life and doesn't constantly interrupt you and try to replicate your smartphone. Instead it takes the best features of a smartwatch and combines it with durability, ease of use/function and affordability. The bluetooth is discreet and used only when syncing info so you don't feel the odd "electric tingle" from other smartwatches - your arm never feels weighed down or pressured. I use this all day except for showers and charge once every 2 weeks. It perfectly tracks my daily life, workouts and sleep. Things get busy and I don't wanna neglect my health. This watch is the perfect integration of technology to create a wearable device that feels like a friend looking out for you or a coach keeping track.

First impression: I love the look. The black is sleek, understated, and has that slightly rugged “I might go hiking after work” vibe. It also looks great with everyday clothes, which matters to me. My wrists are tiny, and thankfully the watch doesn't feel oversized. I've used it for CrossFit, running, HIIT, walking, and everyday activity. So far impressed by its GPS, heart rate tracking and calorie tracking. BUT… Garmin, we need to talk about sleep metrics: My sleep score has occasionally told me I had an excellent night when I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. I feel like it could be more intuitive.
