Product ReviewsGarmin 010-02064-71 Instinct Tactical GPS Smart Watch - Black

Instict tactical - for those who just want the features without the bells and whistles.

Bought this to switch between my Suunto Traverse Alpha for when I felt like a change. It turns out to be way better than my Suunto and I haven't worn the Alpha since this arrived.

If you want a smart watch but dont need the colour screen or you don't want to be a apple fanboy, this watch does it all. I get all my notifications. I can choose to answer my phone or not when it's in my pocket. Heart rate monitoring, monitors your steps per day. I can check the weather on it and it has a barometric pressure storm alarm. GPS with compass, barometer and altimeter.

Comfortable strap, great battery life for what I use it for.I opted for coyote tan instead of black for a change. Most of my watches have been black. I might buy a black one once I sell the Alpha but I want orange straps for it and this brings me up to the only gripe I have.

It appears that Garmin are a little loose with watch strap sizing. I enquired to a company about an orange silicone strap and they stated will not fit on Garmins. This was from a US maker of silicone straps. The rub is, Garmin want $50 for a strap??

It's a fantastic bit of kit though.Read full review...

Incredible amount of data on your wrist

This is a great watch. Records workouts, sleep, provides weather alerts and is a smartwatch that has a two week battery life. I went 10 days before I chose to recharge it and it still had 2 bars out of 5 on the battery icon. It recorded a bike ride, provided multiple details (distance, elevation change, heart rate, etc.) and a map of the ride on my phone. I am enjoying using this watch immensely.Read full review...

Great outdoor watch

Very comfortable and the battery life is longer than expected. It takes a while to learn to navigate the menu but worth every dollar. I've owned Sunnto, Casio pro-treks and this is a winner!

Garmin Instinct SP02 Sensor LED's fail / Garmin Express does not open / ABC sensors in wrong location on body

Great CONCEPT item, but thousands of these fail SP02 LED sensors and have to be returned to Garmin (If it's still under warranty) - Just read the complaints online. Also, barometric / altitude sensor is flush with skin surface at wrist, blocking off readings, unlike the Casio ABC watches. Third big problem - Garmin Express is downloadable online to register watch and update, etc...But it doesn't open! These watches unfortunately are an abysmal failure due to bad design. I own four new ones (less than a year old - One SP02 failed; the others get blocked from altitude / barometric readings (as stated); Garmin Express can't be used for any (and all) of these. Garmin is unresponsive to fix their software online. These watches appear to many to be a five star design, because they are clueless about these problems.Read full review...

Two thumbs up!

Prefect all around. Easy to use, battery lasts about 2 weeks, and I could go on about it. I use it for everything and the app is awesome and keeps you moving and motivated.

Garmin Instinct Tactical

Excellent product and I highly recommend it. Even without the solar charging it’ll last a little over two weeks on one charge. Easy to use, rugged and great product support from Garmin.

Very nice watch

Great product. However, if you do not take time to learn watch, it could be confusing.
