  • Rugged, Great Battery Life, Great Features, No Frills
I wanted a rugged, smart watch with excellent battery life and this is it. If you want a fancy, colorful, touch screen, this isn’t the watch for you. But if you want a lightweight, rugged, smart watch, that gets out of your way, but has almost a month of battery life, the Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical is it. I wanted it primarily for heart rate monitoring, SPO2, GPS, Compass and NAV features as well as altimeter and barometer. The only feature I wish it had was VO2 Max calculation, but maybe a subsequent version will. By default, it can pair with your phone and it does have alerts that integrate with your phone, but I didn’t want my wrist buzzing every time I got a text message, email, calendar reminder, etc, so I disabled those. First, I wanted a solid, rugged watch, and this delivers. It’s not as bulky as the G-Shocks which I’ve had in the past. It’s monochrome interface is perfect for someone who wants utility over looks. The menus are easy enough to master. You can still customize the watch face and menu order to bring the widgets most important to you front and center. My favorite watch thus far. If they add VO2 Max, it will be just about perfect. ... show more

  • Amazing watch, full of features, and awesome battery life
Got this watch to use during military training. Night vision mode works great with NODs, MGRS GPS nav works awesome. I’m stealth mode and in a sunny environment, pretty sure the watch is immortal on battery life. You’ll definitely want to keep the heartbeat sensor off to extend battery. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of other Garmin watches or competitor products, but if you need an effective and reliable GPS watch for military use, this can’t be beat. ... show more

  • A fantastic piece of rugged wearable technology
You name it, this watch does it. Fitness tracker, smart watch, navigation aid, watch with world time, and the list goes on. It will even track your sleep patterns with movement, HR, and pulse ox measurements. I considered a traditional smart watch and fitness trackers in my search for wearable tech. I really liked the way the Garmin looked vs the other basic square designs. I had prior experience with a Forerunner so I knew that their Connect service would track the activities I wanted to, so I gave it a go. A couple months in, I am really happy with this device. Be prepared to potentially frustrate yourself with all of the button combinations and settings available in the watch. There are additional settings in the Connect app that affect the watch or the app and sometimes are not clear due to terminology overload. I'm not outside enough these days to get the solar energy required to keep the watch charged without plugging it in. Currently, I get 5 to 6 days before I plug the watch into the included USB cable and let it charge overnight. With all the smart functions turned off, it will go months between charges. I don't think anything will beat my old solar G-Shock though. It still reports a full charge but hasn't been outside in a year. Of course, it doesn't do anything other than tell time and set itself from the atomic clock. I've had two glitches that required a restart. The first was after getting everything set up, the watch would not chime at mile markers on runs. The second was after being in operation for about a month with daily running, walking, and biking, it was behaving a little strangly (randomly pausing on a run) and a restart cleared that. The Connect app is awesome. The one thing I wish it had is data sharing with Peloton - I manually add my ride metrics into the app after I'm done. I may try to do some work with the two vendors' APIs to see if I can automate that part of it. ... show more

  • It can take a beating.
I haven't had this watch for long but already I have no complaints. I do outdoor general construction including concrete form work and this is the only watch I can trust to not break on me. The all rubber wrist band is nice as it'll break when it needs to and I don't have to worry about de-gloving. It is in fact waterproof so far, I spent half an hour cleaning out a storm drain and got mud and water all over but as soon as I got home I threw it in the sink and scrubbed it off. The battery life is wonderful and the interface is easy to use and understand. There are so many great features and the GPS is incredibly accurate to my surprise. If I come across any issues later I'll update this review but with first impressions I have no qualms or issues. 10/10 Update: 2 months later and as you can see in the second picture it's still going strong. There's slight wear and probably dirt as well on the keepers (which hold the strap flawlessly) and a small knick out of the plastic between the Menu and ABC button. I roughly dragged my hand across hardened concrete that was still stuck to one of the steel forms at work and it just took the slightest chunk out of the outer bezel if you'd call it that. No scratches to the glass no water damage, the battery life isn't affected by the cold even when it got down to the single digits, I never have to worry about this watch. It's also amazing how it can pick up sunlight on a cloudy winter day. The only thing I've noticed is the heart rate tracker seems to have issues accurately tracking my pulse as of lately but I'm not sure if thats mechanical or human error. I do know my heart rate didn't drop down to 48 BPM while stacking lumber though. Still havent used the GPS yet but i have used the compass to find north on New job sites. Overall still an amazing watch and well worth the price especially if you're out in the field every day. ... show more

  • Smart enough without ruining the tactical look
After many months of feature and price comparison shopping I settled on the Garmin Instinct Tactical Solar. I've always loved my negative display G-Shocks and this was the closest "smartwatch" I could find to that look and ruggedness. The Instinct solar checked two of the biggest boxes I had: 1) Long battery life, this lasts 30+ days on a full charge and tops up via solar (I didn't want a watch that needed to be recharged constantly; 2) smart/health/outdoors features without the look of a typical smart watch (Apple/Samsung). Does it have a full color touch screen display? Nope, but that's fine with me. All the features I needed, without all the drawbacks. Great product, great features, great service and shipping! #TheBBBChallenge ... show more
