Garmin Instinct

Advantages: Very balanced functionality. The battery lasts for a long time.

Disadvantages: The garmin connect app drains your phone quickly.

Comment: Great watch. Exactly what is needed. Protected performance, You can swim. Continuous monitoring of heart rate, steps, floors, sleep, activity, calories, stress. The screen is always on. Exact time (by gps). Compass, altimeter, pressure, sunrise / sunset times. You can memorize points in space and then return to them. Lots of exercises, including in the gym (without gps). Smart functions are the minimum required - read notifications (sms, mail, whatsapp, etc.), you can respond with prepared responses. Call notification (you can answer or reject, answer with a prepared SMS). The screen is small even though the watch looks large. For those with poor eyesight, it will be difficult to read the notifications. Screen options are few, but they are not needed. The elastic strap is very comfortable. Russified by the choice of language in the settings, everything except the day of the week on the screen. But after connecting the watch to the computer once and running garmin express (even without updating), the days of the week were displayed in Russian. The exercises are missing: chopping wood, digging with a shovel, clearing snow, mowing grass, sex. :)

Advantages: 1. Working time. 2. Protection against damage. 3. Weight. 4. Working with the phone (Garmin Connect iOS).

Disadvantages: Cut down on multisport watch functions.

Comment: For your money, an excellent multisport watch with smartwatch functions. And not vice versa! If you need a smartwatch, it's better to choose Samsung or Apple. I bought the watch as an alternative to the Apple Watch.Apple watch is just a pity for active use (Bicycle, Swimming, Running). The main differences from Apple Watch: 1. Huge battery life. With daily training and 100/150 notifications per day, the watch lives for about 8 days. 2. Just not killed hours. I rode in them on a mountain bike in the forest (naturally fell), swam in the pool and beat for hours on the separators of the paths (those who swam in the pool understand that this is an indicator) 3. Lack of Garmin Pay. But considering the cost of the watch is not critical. 4. Monochrome and non-touchscreen display. For this, it is not a minus, but a plus, because it still does not work in water and mud with gloves. I would also note: 1. Reduced functionality of multisport watches. There is no Triathlon in this model! (I know that there are people for whom this is important) 2. Garmin Connect work. The watch works great with the iPhone through this application. Initial configuration and further work is carried out through it. For advanced athletes, the Garmin Conenct online service comes in handy. Through it, you can customize workouts and plan classes, build hiking routes. Apple Watch sold since Instinct has covered all of my requirements.

Advantages: Yes, everything has already been described, the watch is just fine after the casio. ) 1. Battery life, for a week we sat down by two divisions, I have been using it recently and have not yet planted it. 2. The readability of the screen, really, even at dusk, the backlight is not needed 4. The application in the phone, the richest functionality and monitoring of all activity 5. Light, you do not notice on your hand Well, all the included functions that we managed to check work perfectly.

Disadvantages: 1. Perhaps the problem is just me or the matter is in the phone, messages from WhatsApp, mail and SMS, and even Facebook with VK, come to the clock instantly, a phone call with a delay of five beeps, that is, the person is already hanging up without waiting for me to answer to a call, the watch is just starting to vibrate. (phone blackberry priv) 2. The battery charge is not displayed as a percentage and there is no forecast when it will run out (I will hopefully appear in firmware updates)

Comment: So far I like it very much, I directly recommend it, I wanted 5 phoenixes for a long time, but the toad, and then 5+ appeared and it seemed like, it was just that the fifths were no longer worth buying, (the toad generally rebelled by 5+), I bought the novelty as soon as I saw how much I read, the functionality that I need is not inferior to phoenixes (except for navigation and measuring something there), I do not wear suits, but in conditions where moisture protection and indestructibility are needed I often.

Advantages: Sleep and heart rate statistics. I fell ill recently, very abruptly fell off my feet. Only after that I looked at Garmin Connect on my phone and it was warned that a high level of stress, fatigue and a minimum of rest - there is a chance to get sick.

Disadvantages: I haven't noticed yet.

Comment: I would like a sapphire crystal :)

Advantages: 1. Appearance 2. Holds a charge for a long time 3. Very good on the hand and a very comfortable strap 4. Functionality 5. Quality of materials.

Disadvantages: 1. The font of notifications is too small, you have to strain your eyes. 2. Well, the display is too small, with this case size.

Comment: For a long time I was choosing between iWatch and Garmin, but still I need a watch, not a gadget, in the end I made myself a gift to NG -Instinct. I am very satisfied for hours, the more I wear, the more they like it) Mega-comfortable sit on the hand, almost not felt, the strap is beyond praise, a bunch of holes for adjustment + the tip of the strap is fixed with an elastic band, does not slip, and, I think, it will not be hot in summer, t .to. many holes for ventilation. Bright display, adjustable backlight depending on the time of day, i.e. in the evening, when you turn your hand, the backlight turns on, which is very convenient. I haven’t had to use navigation yet, but everyday functions work 100%. The first day or two, when the connection with my iphone was lost, they were a little "lost" when searching, and then they became good friends with it and find each other without failures.The charge holds perfectly, I sometimes turn it off for the night, so I generally forget what charging is, which of course is a huge plus. The application would have to be finalized, the settings for the clock should be taken out there, and a little expanded in terms of functionality .. And so, I'm very pleased with the purchase, what I need.

Advantages: All major functions for sports and tourism. Long battery life

Disadvantages: There's no such thing

Comment: Lightweight, data is easy to read in the dark. Pedometer and heart rate monitor work with an acceptable error

Advantages: Display contrast, 22mm straps and replacement system (only a paper clip is needed), MIL STD 810G resistance class, work up to 2 weeks in watch mode.

Disadvantages: Very expensive branded accessories, I wanted to buy an additional power cable, looked at the price and it was 4300, for what? for a simple USB cable ??? In general, chtol out of his mind .... or does it use contacts made of pure gold? xs ....

Comment: I really liked the watch, I chose it for a long time, looked at the reviews, I thought that the pixelation would be very noticeable, in fact, everything is fine, I like the display because of the contrast, in the twilight without backlight everything is visible (unlike reflective color displays).
