Review: Does the job and lots more - This is my latest in a long line of Garmin GPS I've owned. My last one has been going strong for years but I wanted to be able to load a route to help with guidance on long-distance off road runs or walks in the Lake District. I like this watch because the navigation feature works reasonably well. The screen-size is a little small for my ageing eye-sight, but that's not Garmin's fault. Battery life is superb, it's very comfortable to wear and looks that good that I wear it sociably. Can't comment on reliability or how water-proof it is yet but I'm confident. It connects and works well with the app on my Android phone. I was so impressed with my new watch I bought one for my partner, but in a different colour. We have started to use the tracking feature when we are out on runs alone and it works very well. There are loads of other features that I don't use. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone who wants to be able to plan routes and then be able to navigate using it.
Review: Great & Gorgeous Garmin - I have always been active and enjoy many outdoor activities but this lovely piece of kit has been a game changer for me as it takes recording your training and exercise to the next level. Through the app you download to your phone it records the usual distance, time etc. as you would expect but also gives elevation, heart rate, stress levels, body 'battery' as well as GPS mapping - I've used a fraction of the functions with still loads more to discover & use but so far I'm really chuffed. This is my first purchase of a device such as this so I am no expert on these things, but I'd say that anyone who is a keen amateur to semi serious about multi sport performance, this watch covers more than enough of what they'd need? Plus it looks really cool to wear as an everyday watch - I own the Sunburst Yellow version but will probably buy another in a different colour to match with other outfits, for work, etc.? All in all - a great & gorgeous Garmin !

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much does the solar powered watch extend the battery life (for a range of solar conditions?)**
A: You can expect the following : Smartwatch: Up to 24 days/54 days with solar, Battery Saver Watch Mode: Up to 56 days/Unlimited with solar , GPS: Up to 30 hours/38 hours with solar, Max Battery GPS Mode: Up to 70 hours/145 hours with solar and Expedition GPS Activity: Up to 28 days/68 days with solar (Solar charging, assuming all-day wear with 3 hours per day + outside in 50,000 lux conditions)

**Q: how do you change the band?**
A: Third party replacement bands come with a little metal tool for compressing the pin spring and through a little hole in the watch opposite where the band attaches on the watch. This allows the pin and the band to come off. The little tool can also be used to compress the pin in the band to slip the pin back into the hole in the watch reattaching the band. A paper clip will also work if you don't have the tool.

I change my band about once a week to give my watch a different look. I also use silicone covers on the watch to protect it from damage on the job. Been doing this for a year now and my watch still looks almost like new. 

Hope this helps!

**Q: Can i watch boatspeed in knots when sailing  with the instinct solar**
A: Yes

**Q: Does this work with AllTrails app? I.e can I use this watch to track my hike and then download the activity into AllTrails app?**
A: The Instinct Solar is not compatible with the AllTrails App.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for any long distance walking
*by S***E on 29 July 2020*

Feels very sturdy and has all the functions required. Bought mainly as a back up to an old etrex 30 gps unit, so that if it ever failed I would have an back up to support my map reading skills. Undecided between this and the suunto traverse but decided to stick with what I know, and also the extra battery life offered. Full of features, can use bng as Co ordinate reference, log your position, easy to use and accurate compass plus others that not fully explored. Excellent battery life, wore for 2 days on a overnight hike, in gps mode only and only used half available battery. In gps mode only, tracking is very accurate and got me within approx 6 ft of my car when back tracked. Very comfortable and light to wear. If only could put maps on at this price point but wouldn't go for a walk now without wearing this.
