Hassle at best
I am fairly new to this watch but: The fit is not good, band is terrible and buttons hard to access/use. The settings are really hard to use with a very confusing button activity. Choices on setup of the screen are very limited and not intuitive. All in all it is the worst purchase I have made in a very long time, Maybe at half the price I would be willing to tolerate this thing but I doubt it. I am looking at it now and do not understand what some of the indications even mean on the face. Yes I have gone through all of the videos and instructions. Most of this stuff cannot be changed. Also no assistance available.

Loving my new Instinct!
I've used Garmin products before, just not a full-sized watch. Then I was given a Fitbit to use. After wearing it out, I decided to go back to using Garmin products. Luck would have it that Garmin was having a sale on their watches. I chose the Instinct - E and I'm so happy with my choice. It provides all the information that I need health wise. And when linked to my phone, I get all of my alerts and notifications on my wrist. I don't have to pull my phone out to see them. I've only had the watch for a week now and I'm still learning how to use it and find all the uses it has to offer. But I am extremely pleased with what I know about it now. I can't recommend this watch enough.

Instinct E
I bought this watch having come from the original Instinct that I’ve had since 2018. It’s been a great watch. I like that it has the connect IQ to change watches faces. It is also a sharper display. The E has all the features I need. Most of the general population that buys these are not doing extreme hiking or marathons and therefore the E has enough for the gen pop. What I think they dropped the ball on is still having a two week battery. It’s the same battery life as my original instinct. They cheaped out on that. It’s should be at least a month battery. The only other “like” I would want is to have the torch (flash light) on this one. Outside of that. I really like the watch.

Great Features, Not Intuitive
Instinct E offers great features and fits comfortably on the wrist, making it a solid choice for everyday wear. It provides access to a wide selection of watch faces through Connect IQ, but adjusting the watch face and reorganizing quick view items isn’t as intuitive as expected. While customization options are plentiful, navigating them requires some patience. Despite that, the watch’s overall functionality remains impressive. The ability to switch between a 12-hour and 24-hour clock is surely available—I just haven’t discovered the setting yet!

Everything I needed!
I wasn't looking for anything too fancy, just something to get a little more intentional with my overall wellbeing. I've had smart watches in the past, but they seemed too much like a phone on my wrist. I did a lot of looking into different fitness watches and health trackers and this seemed like the right fit, and it was! I still get notifications, but I enjoy how the wellness features are highlighted rather than the social features.

Does everything I'm looking for
Been using this watch for about a month as a replacement for a lower model Instinct watch that I lost on a trip to Africa. I hike, cycle, ski...and a few other things. The GPS works everywhere, as did the older model. I like to keep track of my activities and export them to STRAVA. Everything works flawlessly. The health metrics are also a nice to have feature. Got this watch on sale and its worth every penny.

Maybe it will grow on me?
This my fourth Garmin, and it's by far my least favorite. I had a fenix 6 before this (my fenix 6 abruptly died, and no longer charges), and the feel of this one kind of reminds me of the old G-Shock watches. It's not stylish at all, so I will only wear it for my workouts and then switch to something with personality. I plan to put it to the test in a short race, so I will report back.

A Great Start!
I've been using my Instinct E for about a month and so far, so good! Its predecessor, a Forerunner 45, served me well for about five years, but it was getting difficult to charge (I think it was the contact points, but not really sure).
I like the new features of the Instinct-E; each watch proves to have its own personality and virtues. Anyway, it's a good one!
