Garmin Instinct Solar Review - Unlimited Battery Life! Can It Compete With Fenix 6?

This is the ultimate backcountry watch for intermittent gps use marking important locations for reference later and have it to get you out of trouble if you were to get spun around. This is like a survivalist or preppers dream watch. In battery saver mode you get date time steps floors climbed and can still use the ABC functions all with unlimited battery and you can easily turn on gps here or there if you need it and the watch can charge itself

You do an awesome job of giving balanced reviews! Thank you for thinking through multiple perspectives and plowing through all the video editing. Keep up the good work! It made a difference for my decision. I'm a hiker/mountain runner and this watch just seems to fit me. Thank you!

An informative, easy to follow review with a very helpful comparison to another of Garmin’s quality products. Nicely done! That 20-minute review flew by!

Thanks man! Your reviews are just great and extremely useful!

Thank you so much for reviewing this great watch! I used to use a Suunto Core watch and a Fitbit Charge 2 until the latter died last year. I wanted to wear less on my wrists so I didn't replace it. Having lots of time on my hands during the lockdown, I came across this review, and as an outdoorsman and cyclist, I knew this was exactly what I needed! Six months on, I'm super happy with my Instinct Solar! It combines all the functionality of the Suunto and the Fitbit, and a lot more besides, in one rugged watch. As an aside, I recently tracked a short hike through a gorge using the Instinct and a handheld (eTrex 20x) and the watch actually showed a more accurate track than the handheld!.

This was a great review. I am really thinking of getting the solar now. I want to charge rarely and be able to use this for long backpacking trips without needing to recharge it. Love it

What an awesome video Dave. This was very detailed and especially for new user, the button and interface walkthrough was a life saver. Keep making such informative videos

Nice one mate, best review ive found. Definitely getting the instinct solar for mountaineering use, should be awesome!. Thanks again. Mike

Excellent review , as a hiking guy I'd probably go for the instinct, no frills . Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪👌

thanks for your review i ordered the surf edition and you replied to every tiny comments here, great job love your work.

@12:21, just received an update August 20th on my Instinct Solar... it shows battery percentage now.

Great video! And I received a Chase the Summit window decal on the mail this week I wasn't expecting! Thanks!

Awesome review. Really appreciate how categorized and informative it is; definitely ironed out any worries I had about getting an instinct solar!

Its a great and detailed review. I liked all your points and the detailed analysis of Pros & Cons of this watch. Thank you for your work.

Thanks for the in-depth review of both of these. Superb! Really informative and helped me make a decision for what I need in terms of running since I am not really looking for something for long adventures. Kudos!👍😁

Man I love your video setup and lighting! Also your review helped me with my buying decision, thank you!

Great review thanks! Just purchased one. I'm a mountain biker and trail runner and wanted something simple. That ticks all the boxes!

I need something like the Instinct. To track steps. I looked at tons of smartwatches. The hole charging factor was the issue. This is massive. I'll leave it in power saving mode and call it a day. thanks for the great review you earned my sub!!!

Thanks so much. Your review is very helpful since I’m considering on buying the Garmin Instinct Solar Surf Edition. Have a great day!

I like your reviews! They are honest and in depth! I wanted to know about this watch to replace my Forerunner!
