Review: Garmin Instinct - Tactical Edition - I was unsure about this watch on first viewing. It had an old LCD screen, no touch screen etc. However, the more I used it the more I liked it and realised that I didn't want/need a touch screen or colour display etc. Its primary job is to track my heart rate, gym sessions and steps/pace etc and it does all of these brilliantly and accurately and uploads to my phone for me to delve into the stats at a later time. The fact that it also has GPS, Tactical mode, Parachute jump Altitude mode (not sure i can test this one!), compass, map track back, record your location, altitude, temperature, read phone messages, control phone music, sunrise/sunset, moon rise/set, as well as the usual stopwatch, alarms etc. My personnel favourite feature that I never knew I wanted is the locate my phone whereby up on pressing makes your phone ring!! I think it will take a while to fully understand all the features but so far to me, I think its money well spent. If you leave on the GPS tracking I get about 2 weeks before I need to recharge. On the plus side it only takes about an hour to charge fully. A fantastic Fitness tracking watch, buy one now!
Review: The perfect GPS watch for the outdoors and sports performance - I've had the Garmin Instinct GPS watch for a few months now and have been impressed with it. It is a very rugged smart watch that can withstand knocks and bumps no problems. More importantly, it provides all the useful information required for keeping track of your sports performance e.g. pace, distance, average speed, elevation, etc. The battery life on this watch is also very impressive, depending on your usage of watch. If it is used as a standard watch the battery can easily last over a week on a full charge. Compared to other GPS watches the battery also lasts a very long time with the GPS functioning. I used the GPS to track my cross-country skiing performance for 12hrs in -5c temperatures and it still had battery remaining at the end. Having physical buttons to press is also more practical when wearing gloves than a touch screen, although I did find that the buttons were pressed once or twice by movement of my gloves during skiing; which was a little annoying. However, on the whole I have been very happy with this watch and would recommend this watch for anyone looking for a solid GPS watch with good measurements.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great watch
*by A***S on 7 February 2020*

Great watch, battery life lasts about two weeks when not used for tracking. Tracks accurately and acquires gps quickly, and being able to use grid coordinates on OS maps is also very handy. Very light on your wrist as well, even when running you can barely tell its on. It does what it does well, however the menus and settings are a pain to use until you get used to them, and even then are still slow to work your way around. Ok once you figure them out, and that's the only slight downside to this watch, five stars
