I’ve been eyeing down the Instinct and Fenix for a while and finally decided on the Instinct when they introduced this solar version. It’s been a month of using it every day and I love it. I came from having a Viviactive HR and love the Instinct Solar much better. The wrist heart rate monitor is slimmer and doesn’t poke so much into your wrist, like the Vivoactive HR. Why did I choose this over the Fenix? For my use I didn’t need music storage built-in, nor the on-device topo maps of the Fenix. Those were the two big features that were on my would-be-nice but not essential lists. Other than that the Instinct gives you most of the same tracking capabilities and feedback. The Instinct gives you access to an app called Garmin Explore, which allows you to download topo maps to see where you are at, when out of cell coverage. That app resolved my desire for the Fenix, since I didn’t want to spend that much money. The solar feature of the watch is really cool and really works. I’m indoors most of the time when I’m at work, so solar alone won’t keep me going indefinitely, but when I’m outdoors it does increase battery life. One hour of full sun gave the watch one more day of smartwatch use or one hour of GPS tracking. More sun time gave about the same results with sunny days. Overcast days charged too, but we don’t have many of those in the desert I’m in so I can’t give I’m depth detail on overcast charging. Battery life is exceptional, even without solar. This was another reason I went with the Instinct Solar over the Fenix. I can get up to 32 days using smart watch (not tracking pulse ox all night ), or up to 64 days with the smart watch features turned off. When turning on the pulse-oximeter tracking at night, the watch only got 7 days of battery life. Still pretty dang good if you ask me, especially compared to the more GPU centered smart watches that I don’t need from Samsung or Apple. I ended up turning off the pulse-ox tracking because it wasn’t worth it to me for the battery dip. You can still check your pulse ox manually when you turn the nightly tracking off. The first charge of the battery got me 15 days of smart watch use, combined with 9 hours GPS tracking, and an hour of Cardio/Yoga tracking. The battery life with the pulse-oximeter tracking turned off roughly equates to one day of smart watch (watch with no tracking during the day) =one hour of GPS tracking. One complaint I was worried about was that the display doesn’t show you the percentage left on the battery on the main watch display, but shows you the days left of battery life (or hours when using GPS tracking). But I quickly discovered that when you navigate to the menu, the watch battery days remaining display toggles between days left and percentage. I got used to the days remaining and actually liked it better, after a month of use. The watch seems to be very durable but nice and light weight. I still got a tempered glass screen protector because I’m rough on watches. I did have a tough crash while mountain biking and the watch held up but the screen protector cracked because I hit a rock after flipping over the handlebars and hit right on the screen, but after taking the glass protector off the watch face was still mint new. Definitely recommend the screen protector if your a cluts like me. There are some really cool features like Altimeter, Barometer, Compass, area measurement, multiple sport tracking profiles(hiking, running, cycling, mountain biking, skiing, paddle boarding etc), open water swim, course navigation, and route back to start point. There are some hunting and fishing features but I’m not a hunter so can’t speak to those. The Instinct Solar is excellent for any outdoor or fitness enthusiast.

>>Update: 12/11/23 after having the watch 16 months Sooo, when it comes to ruggedness, the watch held up for 16 months of hard 24/7 use… ONLY with a constant screen protector (see my original review below). I found the screen protector absolutely necessary to protect the hard (brittle) crystal face. I had to replace the screen protector about 8 times during those 16 months and, even so, most of the time it was cracked. I would wait until there were 3 or 4 cracks to replace it. However, with the screen protector in place the watch DID hold up to my abusive daily life. Even the band held up better than I expected. It is a soft silicone so, while that makes it exceptionally comfortable, it did get cut up a bit. The 15 month mark was where I finally ordered a 4 pack of replacement straps because I was concerned that the cuts would open up soon and the band would fail. A pretty respectable performance for a soft, comfortable strap but a fair bit shortlived compared to the tougher Casio bands which take 2-4 years of abuse and are not uncomfortable in the least to me. And, finally, at 16 months the battery is failing. The watch will shut off 3-6 times per day no matter where the charge is from 40%-100%. To make absolutely sure it didn’t have anything to do with button presses I took it off and left it sitting on an end table. The battery is toast after 16 months. That’s considerably shorter than the lifespan of a cell phone battery, shorter than a REPLACEABLE watch button battery and far far shorter than a Casio solar watch battery. Again, that’s with very few O2 readings (<10), no ‘activity session’ tracking, less than 50 “flashlight” uses of less than 1 minute each and only a few GPS uses (literally 3 or 4). That’s far from heavy battery usage and only charging it once every week or two, typically about every week and a half. So, I found the watch to be my absolute favorite smart watch. I found it to be, really, fairly rugged ONLY so long as I keep a screen protector on it. If you are looking for a smart watch and activity tracker, have a rambunctious lifestyle and aren’t concerned about a high def, full color screen this watch/series appears to me to be the front runner on the market. Especially if battery life is of great concern. However, if you are used to your watches holding up for years while taking a heck of a beating and you think this watch could be an equivalent to those watches while entering into the smart watch/tracker market you should take a beat to consider it further. I would suggest those most active and hardest on their watches factor in screen protectors and the need to replace them CONSTANTLY or live most of your life with cracked screen protectors on your watch. Also, even then, don’t expect 3 or 4 years out of it. In my experience, don’t expect 2 years or even 1.5. For the price tag on this watch I could easily get 10-20 years of use out of multiple Casio solar or the cheapest G-shock watches. So, I have to ask myself, is this watch worth it? I would say, personally, that it was worth it once. I received some insights into overheating/heatstroke, improving my sleep patterns and managing my daily stamina through my own observations of the data (the Garmin “insights” never gave me any new and useful info). This was only possible because, unlike with other watches/trackers, it was tracking what I needed constantly 24/7/365 and I only lost the time it was charging once every couple of weeks while I was sitting in the living room watching TV. I appreciated the watch and the insights from it and I don’t regret it but I’m not willing to replace it every 16 months, deal with constant screen protector cracks and replacements and I sure did miss my analog watch hands. I’m going back to my Casio tough solar, G-Shock and Pro Trek watches. >>Original review I’m a “watch guy”. I probably have about (embarrassingly) 2 dozen watches and I’ve worn a watch, basically, 24/7/365 since I was about 9 years old. I have tried about 4 smart watches and a few fitness trackers over the years before the Garmin Instinct Solar and it’s my favorite that I’ve tried by a lot, BUT… I’ve had a smartphone since the original iPhone. I use it all day every day for tons of different things and, being a watch guy, I thought fitness trackers and smartwatches were a logical progression. That’s why I’ve tried so many but they were always disappointing for numerous reasons. The first is battery life. I charge my phone often. I take it out of my pocket and plug it up or put it on a MagSafe charger. It’s charging while I’m using the GPS to drive to my next service call. But I can’t abide taking my watch off to charge it up every night. Even once a week is a stretch. I’ve been wearing a watch 24/7/365 for almost my entire life and going out of my way to take the watch off and charge it is… irritating to say the least. The Solar Instinct lasts about 20-30 days between charges. That’s with constant activity and heart rate tracking, no O2 tracking at night and not using GPS. That is fantastic! The second issue is annoying alerts. As a rabid smartphone user, I thought I would prefer the convenience of seeing calls, texts and notifications at a glance on my wrist. I was so wrong. I’m perfectly satisfied with notifications on my phone. I use my discernment to decide when to check notifications on my phone and they don't get unnecessarily intrusive. Smartwatch notifications on the other hand are extremely invasive. Having my wrist blow up on me is extremely irritating. It's distracting and costs me time by breaking my concentration on whatever task or thought I'm engaged in and the fact that it can't be easily ignored is no small matter. I have my Solar Instinct set up for no notifications which I greatly prefer. The third consideration would be the features. The ability to control your music or engage your phone’s camera with your watch is fine but those types of things (or, obviously, phone notifications) don't concern me. What I love about the Solar Instinct is the customization to display many pieces of information that I value, by default, on the face and the ability to track my heart rate 24/7, my sleep, my general activity and GPS without a huge battery life cost or a phone connection. What I really like is that it also has good watch functionality, i.e. stopwatch, timer, alarm, etc. What I find useful on occasion is the O2 monitor and the ability to use it as a little flashlight in a pinch. The final consideration which may be the one most pertinent for me is ruggedness. You see, in the HVAC trade, I work with my hands for a living. I'm also a red-blooded American. In addition to the physical nature of my job I frequently do yard work and find occasion to cut down/up trees, split wood, build things, work on things and engage in maintenance on vehicles and my home and, as established, I wear a watch at all times which includes when engaging in these activities as well as showering and swimming. I have destroyed many watches, particularly the ones I’ve worn while working. When I first got my Instinct Solar I was babying it because, well, my experience has been that smartwatches and activity trackers are FAR from rugged and robust. I didn't wear it at work. I would swap it out with my work watch when I got home & swap them back before I left in the morning. I wanted it to last and, to start, I sacrificed tracking during the majority of my activity (while at work) for the sake of protecting the watch and longevity. Finally, after a few weeks, I wore the watch while doing yard work on the weekend. THE FIRST TIME I wore it while weed-eating the screen got busted. Now, I'm sure the reason this happened is that they used a nice, hard, highly scratch-resistant crystal for the watch BUT this is a real problem. I didn't expect that it would be too much to ask of a “robust” watch that’s “mil-spec” rated to be able to wear it while doing basic yard work. You know, a period where you might want to track your heart rate and activity. What's more, of the hundreds of times I've done yard work and used a weed-eater, always while wearing a watch, NOT ONCE has it ever significantly damaged a watch. Until that is, the first time I did it wearing my Instinct Solar. I replaced that watch and disappointedly decided I'll just have to use screen protectors from now on. The new Instinct Solar took a dive after just a few weeks. It began an endless bootup loop. It would boot up and crash and boot up again endlessly. I tried charging it, letting it die and doing a hard boot. Nothing worked. Tech support had me, of course, do another hard boot because that's what they do to people who take the time to troubleshoot their own issues. They have you repeat the steps you've already taken. After that they had me send them a video of what the watch was doing and they promptly sent me a replacement. They did make it right. By this point, I decided I'm done babying it. I keep a screen protector on it and I may remove the watch to shove my hand/arm in a tight spot at work but I wear it 24/7 now. It is what it is. If this watch can't handle normal life so it can track my heart rate and activity then so be it. I have plenty of “normal” watches I can revert to in that event (which are a fraction of the cost by the way). If that occurs I suppose I'll just forget about smartwatches until someone finally comes out with one that at least has the capabilities of the Instinct Solar and is truly rugged. As a side note, we are now back to warm weather and I have worn it while weed-eating twice. That resulted in cracking and replacing the screen protectors for the first two times. So, the tally is weed-eating three times resulting in one broken watch and two broken screen protectors. I'm also not fond of the proprietary watch band attachment that prevents the use of a regular band like 99% of other watches use. At this point, however, I'm not sure this will even become an issue. I don't see the watch lasting long enough to require a band replacement but we’ll see. As much as I like the Instict Solar it just doesn't seem to be resilient enough to hold up to my normal life. It may be absolutely great for someone who lives in an apartment, works at a desk or a counter and whose physical activity consists of working out at the gym or running or swimming or biking. If, on the other hand, you have a rough-and-tumble kind of life you should think twice about spending the scratch on this watch if your plan is to wear it 24/7. It certainly seems tougher than 99% of smart watches but it can't hold a candle to the beating a $30-$40 Casio “tough solar” can take, much less a G-Shock.

I'm extremely happy with this watch. I have had 3 watches prior to this that could be considered smartwatches. I had one of the early Pebble watches, which I really liked. It was simple, could run a few apps at a time, but importantly it was reliable, and the battery lasted for about a week. Then I had one of the Fitbit smartwatches. I had not had good luck with Fitbits, between my wife and I, we had already had 4 or 5 various Fitbits fail on us; but we enjoyed the fitness challenges with friends. The Fitbits were lasting a few days at most between charges. The Fitbit smartwatch that I had lasted maybe a year before it broke, and the battery life seemed to be declining as well. We tried Samsung Galaxy smartwatches next, and while those had the most capability in terms of features of anything so far, they only lasted about 2 days on a charge, and after a year, only about a day. My wife's Galaxy failed in less than a year, and I was worried about mine, it didn't seem like it was really intended for rugged use. I decided to go over to Garmin, and I have not regretted it. This watch is built like a tank, the battery life lasts for 3 weeks or more, even without any solar charging. It doesn't have the touchscreen functionality, but I find I don't miss that at all. If anything, I think I prefer using the hard buttons on the side, as my big fingers had a real problem with accuracy on the Samsung smartwatch. I have used Garmin products for a long time as an outdoorsman and aviator, as well as in the military; and this watch upholds the sterling reputation for quality and reliability that I expect from the company.
