Garmin Watch: Long Battery Life and Reliable Connection

I am very pleased with this Garmin watch. I choose to run it on a lower battery setting and from a full charge I get roughly 42 days of battery life. It’s longer if you’re constantly in the sun obviously. It stays connected to my phone with no issues. It was great getting notifications on my watch, but I’ve since turned them all off because the ones I wanted to receive I did not for some reason (texts). Even if it didn’t have those features, I’d still keep it. I love this watch.

Tactical Smartwatch: Long Battery Life & Features

This watch hasn't left my wrist. It's everything I expected and more. Admittedly, it's overkill for a non military or non extreme adventurer like me. There are far more features than I imagined and initially that was overwhelming. However, one of the features I've come to live about the watch allows you to have a 'lighter' experience with fewer displays. This has proven to be the right sial for me. Additionally, by reducing the volume of displays, the watch has this far averaged around 100 days between charges. For a smart watch, that's quite impressive.

It's no Apple or as Samsung watch and it's monochromatic (which is what I like) so if colour displays are key for you, this way h doesn't suit your needs. However, if you want a smart watch which leans tactical (even has a nifty flashlight feature), this is one to consider.

I love my watch and I would buy it again if I needed to.

Hope this review helps.

Cheers,
DG

Garmin Instinct 2: Perfect Hiking Companion

I spent awhile trying to find the perfect watch, for my budget. The Instinct 2 is exactly that. I use it everyday, but mainly for hiking. It is super easy to use. I use "AllTrails" app for my hiking, or creating my own courses. It is so simple to download my hike to my watch, and away I go. Tracks me as I follow my hiking path, with the ability to always know where I am. Garmin is very easy to pair, download and keep everything up to date between the watch and your phone/computer!

I use a Android S25 to do everything, and transfer it all to the watch. 5 stars over and over again!
