Garmin Instinct, Rugged Outdoor Smart Watch with GPS, Bluetooth Wireless, Blue (No-Cost EMI Available)

EDIT: After a year of usage, I have absolutely no complaints. There is a minor issue, the sync with iPhone is a bit flawed, you have to connect, disconnect and then reconnect to sync successfully but this is a small flaw, you have to press a button twice, that is all. For me, the watch lasts a week before I have to charge (even after a year) which is good. I keep bumping the watch on hard objects and the watch is built sturdily. The edges of the watch screen tend to accumulate dust which I have to wash daily. Otherwise, this watch is a gem. Highly recommend.I am writing this review after 4 months of usage. I bought this watch for 21,840 ₹, the price in India right now would have increased because of higher tariffs.I use this watch primarily to track my runs/jogs. The watch is capable of tracking a coterie of activities like running, swimming, cycling, rafting etc. It gives you information on how much time was spent on the activities, calories burnt & the distance covered. It also has a real time heart rate monitor. I cannot speak of its accuracy as I haven't had a benchmark to compare it with. The watch also tracks your sleep. The watch also looks sporty and fashionable, if you dig that sort of thing. I got it in Seafoam rubber blue.The watch is supposed to be used in conjunction with the Garmin Connect app on your Android/iPhone. The app is easy to use and provides a lot of detailed stats that would be of interest to you, sleep time, stress levels etc. Again, the accuracy is difficult to ascertain as I don't have a baseline. You are supposed to connect the watch with the app via Bluetooth and it works flawlessly everytime and takes a minute to sync a days worth of data. The more activities you have, the more time it takes to sync.It's made out of a material which is sweat resistant unlike leather. You do need to wash the watch after a workout to remove the sweat. The watch is waterproof up to a certain depth and I wash it daily with tap water and have faced zero issues.I did face an issue wherein I had to factory reset the watch once because the watch screen was constantly changing. In my four months of usage that only happened once so it didn't bother me that much.I have hit the watch accidentally on hard surfaces quite a few times and the watch is built like a tank, so no damage at all.I only have to charge the watch once a week and it lasts for that duration easily. I use it for 1.5 hours to track activities everyday. I presume most of the battery is expended because of GPS usage.I don't use this watch as a smart watch and I don't think it is meant for that. Although you can keep it synced to your phone, I choose not to do that because of privacy concerns.Overall, I higly recommend this watch as a full fledged activity tracker. I wouldn't recommend this if you are looking for a smart watch although it could be used as one.

I love this watch. With the app support, you can track almost everything you can think off. Have been using it for more than 2 months now and taken it out for runs and day hikes. Works like a dream. Need to charge it 2-3 times a month based on my activity level. Lightweight, you barely notice it is there. Strongly recommend!

Received the product today. Thanks to Amazon for an early delivery. The watch looks sturdy and very stylish. User friendly and the support application is too good. Since received today only, performance review will post after I use it for a month or so.

Dont buy if your primary goal is fitness as the basic monitors are poor. Never it has shown correct heart rate. Good battery life though.

It is a good product but the box was not packed or sealed. It was an open box of garmin.

Gives me rugged feel, tracking is good. More functions are yet to be learned. Tottaly best one in smart watches, which gives you a perfect activity tracker.

Good emart watch for fitness tracking and outdoor wilderness use

The altitude data is incorrect in this watch and need frequent recalibration. Want to get the actual ambient temp then remove it for some time as sensors get impacted by the body temperature. GPS functions and tracking are good.Updating the review after using it for more than 16 months, the battery almost died. it is not lasting for half a day now which is practically making it useless unless I get the internal battery replaced. not sure if it can be replaced or not. will have to check with the service center for that. not worth 22k if the battery dies in a year and need replacement
