Watch question

[Jacob Chapman]

Hey all, looking for a watch that can track steps as well as having an altimeter for when I head out West to check elevation.

Going to primarily use it while working out so it needs to be waterproof, and ideally can connect to the my fitness pal app.

Having trouble finding one that isn’t $500.

Would like it to have an alarm as well, not sure if that’s possible….any ideas?

I've got a Garmin instinct I'll sell for $100.

I had a Fitbit last year but went to a Garmin Instinct this year. I got the Instinct on sale for like $150 and the battery life is awesome. Connects to various fitness apps and health tracking apps. Altimeter, step counter, etc as well.

+1 on a Garmin. I think the Instinct will check all your boxes.

Hey thanks for the heads up, I’m going to do some research and I’ll get back to you! Do you have the instruction manual and everything?

You want an instinct...the 30 min before sunrise alarm is great!!! Had one for 3 years.

I do not have the manual or box. I'm sure you can find it online though. I've got the watch, charging cable, and extra orange strap.

Sounds I’ll be in touch around the beginning of the month if it’s still available!

Is this watch still available?

You can find a Garmin Fenix 6 for around $350 if you don't mind silver and black. The instinct is another option as is the Vivoactive 4. Sunnto is not currently a great option. An Apple watch SE fits your description, but battery life is terrible and it needs to be charged nightly. I do not know much about the other brands.

Check out the Coros Apex. I have the 46mm and love it. It has an altimeter that relies on the in-built barometer. The battery lasts 2-3 weeks with regular intense GPS workouts, longer without any GPS workouts. All for around $300.

I've got one for sale. Box, manual, charging cable included. $100

Throwing my two cents in for Garmin as well. I've been wearing a Fenix 5 for the better part of a few years now and love it. It gets beat up in the woods, the gym, and work. Battery is great, and it has tons of bells and whistles while still staying simple.

We r with the original Garmin Instinct, now to figure out how to work it lol!

Great watch, lots of YouTube videos on setup.

Garmin Instinct (solar) was the first time I purchased anything but a regular watch- I was really missing out. Use the altimeter a bunch, can track all my hikes, can even rudimentarily navigate with it- keeps track of all kinds of stats- wish I would have jumped on the bandwagon earlier!
