Garmin Instinct. Rugged GPS Smartwatch. Made for us.

I just finished my review of the New Garmin Instinct GPS Smartwatch. I really like this watch.

Garmin Instinct. Tough AND smart. - S&S Archery Backcountry

Will I be selling my Fenix 5x plus to get the Instinct? We'll see. But the fact that I am even considering it says a lot!

Thanks for the write up on this as I’ve been looking at it, however, I’d need to get a mini to get full use from it. I guess I’ll need to upgrade I assume this charges via a phone type plug?

Well, if you don't have the Mini, you're not going to be able to use either watch, you're limited to using Earthmate on your phone. But i will say i have not regretted moving to the mini. And no, the Garmin watches all have a proprietary charging/syncing plug. The usb mini won't work.

I think this will be the replacement for my 310XT when it dies the next time.

"Also great if your buddy texts you from the other side of the ridge letting you know there is a big bull heading your way!"

This would be illegal in Montana with this device. Not sure about every other state but make sure you check your hunting regulations before using this watch or any kind of electronic communicator to relay the position or movement of game.

This should probably be deleted from the write up and not advertised as a feature but everyone is ultimately responsible for knowing and following the laws pertaining to the area they are hunting in.

Cool watch though, been thinking of getting it.

I got one yesterday!

Wore it surf fishing and now mtn biking today. I never realized my heart rate while riding. Interesting. Now I know what red line while climbing up a mountain is. Curious to see if it improves through the the summer.

Seems easy to navigate so far.
