RobertoRoberto: Premetto che è il mio primo smartwatch ma da appassionato di gadget tecnologici, che mi riguardano un po' anche per lavoro, non sono proprio un profano del settore. Sono arrivato all'acquisto dell'Instinct in quanto per me era prioritario avere uno smartwatch che non necessitasse di cariche troppo frequenti nell'uso quotidiano, che fosse specializzato nel tracking di attività outdoor e che avesse un prezzo abbordabile.

Mi dilungherò un po', saltare alla fine per i pro e contro sintetizzati.

⌚Display
Lo schermo transflettivo è molto ben leggibile in tutte le condizioni, sia in pieno sole sia in condizioni di poca luce, ma sempre senza necessità di retroilluminazione, mentre per il buio completo basta un 20% di luminosità e si legge senza sacrifici.
Avrei preferito un display di forma circolare, più in armonia con la forma circolare della cassa anziché la forma ottagonale che lascia alcuni spazi "morti".
L'automatismo di accensione luce con il movimento del polso funziona bene e si può impostare che si attivi solo dopo il tramonto e fino ad una certa ora per non disturbare durante il sonno.

Joffrey: Après maintenant deux mois d'utilisation de cette montre je peux laisser un commentaire objectif, premièrement après avoir hésité avec un modèle de la même marque avec écran tactile et après un long moment de réflexion, je me suis décidé pour ce modèle sans écran tactile avec tout de même l'appréhension d'un manque de facilité d'utilisation: verdict l'absence d'écran tactile n'est absolument pas un problème.
Lors de la réception le démarrage et la synchronisation sans connaitre la montre m'ont pris à peine 5 minutes, et en 2 mois d'utilisation il ne m'est arrivé qu'une seule fois où la synchronisation quotidienne à échoué, problème facilement résolu en redémarrant tout simplement la montre (problème réglé en 30 secondes).
Pour ce qui est du réglage des applications de la montre on voit dès les première manipulation que Garmin est le leader dans les montre sportives connectées, en à peine 15 minutes j'avais intégré le fonctionnement des différents boutons et installé les applications qui m'intéressaient. De plus 2 mises à jour de l'application smartphone m'ont permis de découvrir 2 nouvelles applications, soit un bon suivi du...

ClaytonClayton: LATEST UPDATE AT BOTTOM (5/11/2020)

What a frustrating activity tracker/smart watch journey I have been on. Nothing seemed quite right for what I was looking for. I am an avid outdoorsman who likes to hunt, backpack, hike, bike, and occasionally run. Things that are extremely important to me are an accurate altimeter, barometer, and GPS.

I first purchased the Fenix 3 HR. The watch was impressive in the beginning and I thought I had found the one. The issue turned out to be the altimeter. It was not accurate at all. I then waited for the Fenix 5. Same damn issue. Altimeter was worse than the 3. When I contacted Garmin, they told me to put the watch in warm soapy water. While this did seem to temporarily reset it back to normal, I continued to experience the same issue. As much as I would like to put my watch in a warm glass of soapy water every night, I decided to pass. The 5 plus eventually came out and appeared to solve these issues. But then.....Garmin realeased the Instinct.

This watch (so far) has really impressed me. It is so light weight and comfortable. The Fenix watches, while premium, are a bit large and heavy to wear. You truly forget you are wearing...

BBBB: When I saw that this watch was being released, I read up on it and purchased it an hour later from an authorized Garmin retailer on Amazon, receiving it the next day. A little backstory...
I used a GShock for years and loved it. I graduated to my first smart watch with the original Apple Watch. I had a love/hate relationship with it needing to be charged daily, the always-off screen, overall slowness, to name a few annoyances. It was just really cool all the “things” it could do.

I left it for a Pebble 2 and really loved that watch for about 18 months until the buttons crumbled. I started using a backup Pebble 2 but I knew these watches had a very short lifespan. I tried a Ticwatch and an Amazfit Bip. Both were dreadfully disappointing so I went to an Apple Watch Series 3. It was more of the original Apple Watch but faster and a more mature operating system. I just recently upgraded again to the Apple Watch Series 4, which was again more of the same thing but a faster iteration. Still the always-off screen and needing daily charging made me miss my Pebble more and more.

Then the Instinct just "checked all the boxes" for me. Back when my Pebble fell apart, this...
