Unisex Instinct Solar Orchid Silicone Strap Smart Watch 23mm

I bought a Sunburst 2 weeks ago and wore it for two days then my Doberman ate it. I just a second one and I left the kitchen and he got the box of the second one. Ugh. Can’t wait to love the second one. I had a VivoActive hr for 3 years. Guess what happened to that one. I really like Garmin products as I have them on my road and mountain bikes.

Went for a different watch but was told this is easy to use 2’5 hours trying to get it done Halfway there Time will tell

Had this watch now 3 weeks, after having a Garmin Vivoactive 3. The battery on my old watch needed charging every time I did about 2-3 hours of exercise, and it was a bit of a bind to be honest. The Instinct Solar battery last ages and the sunlight does actually charge it too. Only downside for me is that there are only 4 analogue watch faces and two of those are just inverted black/white. You cannot upload any other watch faces from the Garmin IQ app. Shame but not the end of the world. Would just love a wider range of analogue faces. Really like the watch it's tough and rugged and very accurate for mt walking and MTB riding activities, links with Strava effortlessly

I bought a Garmin Instinct Solar one month ago and I noticed it was charging very slowly. I tried different chargers, both on the wall and on a pc via usb, nothing changes. It took 7 hours from around 20% to 100% charged. I find this behaviour rather disturbing as the watch should be able to regulate the charging speed. I wonder if the cables don't have great quality control. Can this issue be solved by a firmware update? I'd love to have it charge at 1% a minute.

I bought my instinct solar watch about two years ago. I wore it for about a year and loved it! Until one day the battery got messed up so I put it in a drawer for about a year till I found it again. I reached out to see how to get the watch to last 30 days like normal instead of 2 days like it was lasting for. With all the quick help from garmin support, we couldn’t get it to work the way it should, I ended up sending it back for a refurbished one. Let me tell ya how presently surprised I was to get my watch back. I had to send back my old watch face but not the band or the charger. Less than a week went by and I got my “newly used” one today. They sent the watch, band, and charger! It truly looks like a brand new watch. Garmin truly stands behind their product and their customers. I couldn’t be happier!

I bought this to replace my 3rd 645 music because the casing that holds the bands broke continually. Just cheaply made. I thought this would be more hardy. I am up to software version 17 and this watch constantly freezes when trying to save a work out. It will say the GPS is off (it’s not) when you try to save and just continues the loop- you have to plug it into garmin express to get it to break the loop. It’s a also big clunky watch - might have been better to keep replacing the 645 every 9 months.

First the watch itself looks good, anf the band is comfottable. However the display is horrible and hard to read. The lack of touch screen makes it difficult to navigate through the menu. Also no way to put steps on the main screen. I don't see a way to control the watch from an app either. This watch is too expensive for the lack of technology. I got it yesterday and will be returning it tomorrow.

Love this watch and the service I’ve had from Garmin has been second to none. I wouldn’t choose any other brand of sports watch. I would like to be able to set the imperial/metric individually for run, cycle @ swim and like the 910 have a quick release bike mount.
