Best thing since sliced bread

I've had my instinct for 5 years and absolutely love it. Far as I'm concerned it payed for itself the first time I was chasing my dogs in the big swamp and it clouded over. It guided me out perfectly. It has literally saved my butt many many times since

Verified Purchase

The watch I bought goes for $300 and I bought it from you all for $170, a much more reasonable price point if you stripped the Garmin name brand away from the watch. For its functions and features $170 is a very fair price and you all allowed me to make this investment. I also got it in an extremely timely manner (6 days is unheard of in my experience)

SOLID !! Garmin deliver consistency

Garmin Instinct - not the latest model, but with so many years of top performance a person eventually gets around to writing a review. This watch, like all Garmin equipment Ive used (UHF/VUF radios/ In-Reach, Aviation suites) is 100% dependable. Tough and can be relied on. The screen is large enough to see without glasses, I know that when Im in the mountains or just walking a day in the forest I can know ewxactly where I am and at what elevatton. Knowing if air pressure is dropping quicker than the weather forcast advised is incredibly usefull too. Music control and notifications I dont use as much but nice ti have that functionality too. Thanks team- Having this watch on my wrist is reassuring
