Garmin Instinct GPS Watch Review

 

[kickemall]

Jordan how do you figure this stuff out? Online, manuals, Garmin help? I had an original Fenix and didn't have any problem using it but man I'm sure having trouble using my Instinct. I'm talking basic stuff like just getting to the gps and staying on my main screen after going to something else.

If it helps, these guy's videos really helped me learn to navigate through the entire watch plus more.

Mainly just playing with the watch. On mine you just hit the GPS button, select your activity and then you can scroll through the activity pages. If I looked anywhere else for info other than the manual I hopped on youtube.

Does this watch connect to the Garmin Xero A1 or just the A1i?

Both.

 

[cody21peterson]

I have the A1 and the manual says that the laser locate feature is only available on the A1i models.

Are there additional features if you connect the instinct to the Xero A1?

Wow I’m sorry to hear that. I’m betting it was just a bad egg.. but still that sucks.

CS was great they are overnighting me a new one. Leaving after work tomorrow for Cranberry Glades WV for the rest of the week to get lost and catch some trout. Anybody can have a bad egg but how its handled is the what separates OK from great, IMO. BTY watch is great for what I need it for!

Does the GPS feature tie in with the sunrise/sunset times?

Yes. From my experience it pulls off of your location. If your GPS isn’t active then it pulls off of your phone. Which will be the nearest cell tower. But when I haven’t had cell service and I update the GPS location it gives me a sunrise/sunset time

Thanks! Next question - does this show UTM coordinates? I didn't see it in the manual.

You can set it up to show UTM. Don't recall exactly where the setting was but it wasn't horrible to find.

Yes you can set it to UTM. Check the final review I did on the rockslide website. Tells how to do it.

There's a standing discount of 10% for members with code ROKSLIDE if I recall correctly.
