The Curated Take

Leonid Cha, Snowboarding Expert
By the Expert Community

The Garmin Instinct® is a solid GPS watch that's great for anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. It has a really good battery life, which means you don't have to charge it every night, and it's pretty easy to figure out how to use all its features. It's accurate, too, so if you're into hiking or running, it's reliable for tracking your routes and how far you've gone.

The screen is a bit small, though. It wasn't a big deal for me, but if you like a bigger display to see your maps or stats clearly, it might be something to consider.

I took this watch on a hiking trip that lasted a week, and it didn't let me down. I was able to track the whole trip without charging it, and it kept up with me the whole time, showing me my altitude and where I was without any trouble.

So, if you're looking for a tough watch that can keep up with your adventures and you don't mind a smaller screen, the Instinct could be a good fit. It's especially good for people who need something simple and straightforward that still does everything they need for outdoor activities.

  • TRACBACK® ROUTING – This features allows users to follow the same path that you took out to confidently navigate the way back to your starting point.

  • WRIST-BASED HEART RATE – A heart rate monitor inside the watch tracks heart rate without a chest monitor.

Came to the site again (with previous good experience from other departments) in need of a tent and footprint-- Elizabeth was great with recommendations and offering more options that stayed within the budget but weren't on the radar to begin with. That and helping with other recommendations generally for hiking/camping, she is greatly appreciated!

She not only answered my questions but also gave great advice. The article she sent had amazing tips and was easy to read. She was super friendly and everything she typed seem to have a smile attached. I have already recommended this site to a few people because of her.

I was looking for a weather proof tent for a homeless veteran. I thought I needed 4 season 1 person. Jeffrey recommended 3 season, 2 person since it's California. No snow.
