After two years of use, the solar charging doesn't work, the watch randomly turns off, loses Bluetooth connection. I don't recommend it. It was expensive for two years of use...

This is my second Instinct watch. First one, and this one until about two months ago, never had problems staying connected to the Garmin Connect app. Now I've had to re-pair the watch with the app on the phone about five times in two weeks. Not sure what they changed in the firmware or the app, but Garmin broke something with their update. I love this watch, but if it can't stay connected to the app due to software "improvements" then this will be my last Garmin product.

I've had two separate instinct solar. Work as intended but after about 4 months they no longer work. They freeze up or no longer hold a battery.

Bought this watch because I love the outdoors. The GPS comes in very handy.

I bought this a few weeks ago to monitor my sleep. I can't figure out if it even has that capability. My son has a fancier garmin but he couldn't find that function on this model either. Disappointed in the complexity and lack of wanted features,

I bought it like 4 months ago and all of a sudden the wacth all ways turns off by it self I did a restart on it and something the only way it stays on is if I have the Bluetooth off other wise it goes off

Good basic watch. Solar gives it a couple more days use.

I bought Instinct Solar 2 years ago. For the last 5 months, I trying to repair it. First, start to shut down regularly. I found out that some new updates need more battery. So for every activity, I need to recharge. After that, it stops connecting to the phone. So connect is no connect... I tried every solution I found on the Internet but had no success. It was good while it lasted!

I got this for a gift and it works great everyday for work outs and keeping records.
