Thanks for taking the time to help us not so tech savvy people out. I just got this watch today and this video will be very helpful figuring out what it does. Is there anyway to change the colours of the face or is it just the black and white inversion options. I guess it is a sports watch not a fashion piece. Thanks again for making this video ☺️
Thank you so much! I have been looking at watches for more than 4 hours now trying to pick one for my husband. This review has been the most helpful and what has convinced me to buy this particular one. Thank you!
I'm really glad you found it helpful. He'll love it! Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! :)
Thanks for taking the time to do this vid, it was very useful for setting up, have used the instinct a couple of days and have found it to be more useful in many ways for a daily watch than my fenix 3 hr...
Absolutely amazing video! On the one hand, I've chatted with Garmin and received incorrect information. On the other hand, this video answered ALL my questions and taught me so much. Thank you.
@@pedroribeiro9372 I don't use that feature, but I believe you can set it up for a beep alert and/or a vibration. I have used the vibration mode for weather alerts and it will wake you up out of a dead sleep. The vibration is impressive.
@@jb6027 thanks very much for the information! For my job, I want a watch that calls my attention when receiving specifics notifications. I can't afford to lose notifications by lack of attention. Thanks friend 👍
I’m actually waiting on mine to come in mail. I’ll definitely read the manual, but your video has helped out tremendously !! Thank you for taking time out of your day to do this!!👍🏻
Awesome! I'm glad it helped you. I recommend checking out my playlist with tons of in depth videos about the Instinct and it features. ua-cam.com/play/PL8griS8Ww-Knm1Kc3iyLd7Qhd9y6zmMuj.html Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the very clear tutorial on accessing the features of this watch. I was just recently gifted a barely used one of these from a family member. This watch is loaded with functions!
Very useful video! There are so many features and your walkthrough was very helpful. I was looking for adding favorite activities, which you answered plus many more features I didn't even know the watch had!
This an excellent video. This video is a proper illustration of having youtube as a tool. I found this video very useful and clean to watch, clear and crisp descriptions. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I’ve watched at least 20 videos and this is by far the most helpful.. let’s just say i could adjust my instinct after this video. Thanks again!Best review I’ve seen so far. And this is my opinion..
Wow, I really glad it help you. Thank you for leaving this awesome feedback! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing :)
Thank you so much for your reviews on this great-looking watch. I own the Fenix 3 HR but over the years it has slowed down quite of bit. and I was in the market for a new watch, one that's more responsive quicker and lighter. for the summer hiking and fishing trips. As I've been reviewing more of your videos I can see this watch can be use for more than just fishing and hiking and working out. It also fits perfect in the workplace with all the information it provides. And also the lightweight plays a big factor I will be receiving mine tomorrow really looking forward to it. You have definitely earned my subscribe. And hope you get many more. Keep up with all this great information and thanks again!
I bought the Instinct solar and your video helped me figure out how to set it, where I like it and figure out. Especially with all the confusing shit lol that these watches can do. Thank you
Yes and when he says "Things like that" and "Really cool" he also likes to be in the shower. Seriously though it was great for him to take the time to tell us. I just got the watch today and it has helped me alot. I will probably watch this video a few more times. Well done to you for your effort helping us out👍
Thank you!! Just got mine and this watch and the video was super helpful. BTW the Inreach is a Garmin Satellite communication unit that allows communication when you are off grid.
@@Felkins Sadly I had to sell my Instinct to get the Fenix 6, but I'm sure they still have it on there. I recommend calling Garmin, maybe they can help.
The number one thing I want from a smart watch/fitness tracker is that I don't want to worry about water damage, temperature and durability. The watches condition should be an afterthought for me. This garmin looks like it can do that
Awesome glad to hear it. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing :) Also, I recommend checking out my playlist of Instinct tutorials ua-cam.com/play/PL8griS8Ww-Knm1Kc3iyLd7Qhd9y6zmMuj.html
From what I reviewed on UA-cam, you need a smartphone with Internet for more features to work. I only have a WiFi only Android, meaning no data plan. Will the phone still work, let's say: hiking and GPS? I'm not doing any mountaineering or scuba diving. Thanks
Great Video, Something I'm looking for is How to turn on Tracking for a Mountain Bike Ride, then Stop and save it to Garmin Connect.. any link to video like that?? Thanks
Thank you for this review! Someone might have mentioned it, Dog Track works with other Garmin devices, in my case the Astro 430 GPS and T5 collars for your dogs. It allows you to get your dogs information without having to take out your Astro 430, you can see how far your dogs are away, in which directions, and hopefully whether or not the dogs are on point or moving. It's why I ordered the watch, and I'm here to see what else it can do, thanks again.
How does the sunrise and sunset work on these watches, is the location automatically picked up or you provide that information? What about weather/temperature? it picks up from internet or sensor detects the ambient temperature?
Amazing video, my instinct is getting delivered tomorrow and I wanted to get a jump start on figuring it out. Thanks for putting the time into this video for us! Liked and subscribed!
I know this has been up for a while but the inreach is a satellite messenger and the xero is a archery sight and it marks where you were when you shot and where you were shooting to
Hi great video, When you turn on a widget, does the watch switch to back to the watchface after a certain amount of time, or does it stay on the widget? Also is the compass magnetic or electronic, i have found conflicting answers to online, so im not sure.
Thank you very much. Needed this. Garmin user guide is practically useless. I guess the hourly alert by the watch can be used to remind you to take your meds or to drink water 17:56
Thanks for the in-depth review. From this video, I plan to watch your other videos. It would have been helpful if some where either Garmin or you had mentioned that the watch is intended to be paired with a Smartphone.
Dear Gauging Gadgets, I have some questions. Is it not possible to run this without connectin to my cellphone? I will use this for running a trip, WITHOUT my phone for once. Ive just purchased and find it very sadly if i cant watch footsteps per day, avg rest pulse , track a run without being connected to a phone. Is all this possible? Thanks for a great review
Thanks for your great tutorial, without it I would be totally lost. However 2 questions, I set the alarm for 11:30 pm. (1): How do I snooze? (2): Can I mute the alarm, it comes on for about 10 minutes, stop for about 10 minutes, then comes back on for another 10 minutes. During which the closed lock appears in the upper right corner. Did I do something wrong or press too many keys? Thanks in advance for your answers. John
Hello thanks for this tutorial unless I missed it, how to configure the watch to receive sms txt messages with no email msgs was not covered.....regards Nick

Thoughts on instinct vs fenix 5x. How close in size, and would you move from a fenix 5x to instinct
Didn't get a chance to watch the whole video, but I just wanted to know can you get your emails on the watch as well.

Was your husband happy about the watch?
@@Talasesdfsdf Yes he was! He uses it on a semi regular basis which is all I expected of him... which means it was great! Hahaha
@@elise8116 That's awesome. I'm glad he liked it. I found it very sweet that you were looking so thoroughly for a watch for your husband.
Thanks for taking the time to do this vid, it was very useful for setting up, have used the instinct a couple of days and have found it to be more useful in many ways for a daily watch than my fenix 3 hr...
Why is it more useful?
Absolutely amazing video! On the one hand, I've chatted with Garmin and received incorrect information. On the other hand, this video answered ALL my questions and taught me so much. Thank you.
This video is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to potential-Garmin Instinct users!
Thank you so much for your effort in introducing this watch bit by bit!
lol, I loved the comment "calories burned just for being alive"
Lol! I’m just now viewing this video but that was my favorite comment for sure lol
Lol because just being alive is exhausting
Thank you for this very in depth video tutorial. I would never had clearly understood all the features and functions without it.
I got mine yesterday! It is superb! Not just a sports watch, it's an engineered watch as well.
Glad you like. I love mine! Thanks for watching and please consider liking and subscribing 🙏
Sheesh this watch is a survival tool
I just bought one of these. Your tutorials have been a VERY big help!!
If I receive a message or notification from my phone, the watch makes beeping sound??

Your videos on the Instinct are awesome, can’t wait for mine to arrive
Best overview I've seen so far. You got me hooked. I want one. Nicely done
It's a great watch and IMO only beat by the fenix 6 pro. Thanks for watching!
Very useful video! There are so many features and your walkthrough was very helpful. I was looking for adding favorite activities, which you answered plus many more features I didn't even know the watch had!

Great review! Just opened up my Instinct and this saved me a ton of time figuring things out. Thanks!
Awesome video! Exactly what I wanted to know. A lot of videos just saying generic things, but you knocked it out of the park. Good job
Glad you liked it! Thank you for your kind words!
Great information! Didn’t know how many things were on this Garmin! I was only looking for a step counter, sleep tracker and activity recorder!
Just got my watch today. Super helpful video, thank you!😁
Picking mine up today...
I bought the Instinct solar and your video helped me figure out how to set it, where I like it and figure out. Especially with all the confusing shit lol that these watches can do. Thank you
Great review being 70years old I’ve found using my Garmin very confusing this has really helped thanks
Can any of the widgets be turned off to help with the battery life
Been looking for a smart watch that's not so smart it's dumb. I think I'm sold
THanks for the video! Paid 149 on prime day. Really nice watch
You're doin the lords work here buddy 🤘🏻
Thanks for the video. Helped a lot.....an I thought I was smart back in the day with my Casio calculator watch.🙂
I am waiting for it to arrive. I will keep you posted. Thank you, Kim
Buying it tomorrow.. glad i found your channel ✅🇮🇳.. love from India.
I died of happiness when I opened mine up and saw that E-paper screen. 😁
Do we need to put SIM card (phone number) or it clones the activities of our phone (messages, phone call, etc.)?
Take a drink everytime he says "as you can see" 😂
haha
@@GaugingGadgets sorry excellent video. Just picked up on that.
Yes and when he says "Things like that" and "Really cool" he also likes to be in the shower.

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the info about the Inreach. So cool that these watch have that integration.
Gauging Gadgets thank you! BTW I can find the flashlight widget. Is it still available in the watch?
@@Felkins Sadly I had to sell my Instinct to get the Fenix 6, but I'm sure they still have it on there. I recommend calling Garmin, maybe they can help.
Simple and succinct video. Does not get any better for youtube videos.
Great review, all the relevant information delivered in a concise manner 👍🏼
Thanks for all these Instinct Videos. Great help
The number one thing I want from a smart watch/fitness tracker is that I don't want to worry about water damage, temperature and durability. The watches condition should be an afterthought for me. This garmin looks like it can do that
Broadcast means to broadcast over ANT+ to something like a Garmin edge device.
Thank you a walk thru I can follow and understand much appreciated
Hi , great vid, thank you. My instinct does not have the torch option on the menu screen? It simply is not there. Where might it be? Thank you.
Just got this watch today and your video was very helpful.
Awesome glad to hear it. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing :) Also, I recommend checking out my playlist of Instinct tutorials ua-cam.com/play/PL8griS8Ww-Knm1Kc3iyLd7Qhd9y6zmMuj.html
Do you have a video that shows, step by step, how I can track my kayak trip and then save it to me watch?
Thank u for the clear dive into the instinct
InReach is used as an emergency application and is popular among backcountry skiers, Trail workers, rescue personnel, patrollers, etc
Brilliant watch the moss green I reviewed is the best colour in my opinion. Garmin have done a brilliant job with the solar instinct.
Great video man! Very informative and useful, thanks
From what I reviewed on UA-cam, you need a smartphone with Internet for more features to work.
I only have a WiFi only Android, meaning no data plan.
Will the phone still work, let's say: hiking and GPS?
I'm not doing any mountaineering or scuba diving.

Can you put in the declination into the watch ??
Wow! Your video is more than awesome! Thanks!
When in hike mode will it display distance in miles with out having to press a button? Thanks in advance. Great video.
Awesome video! This watch does so much more than I thought!
Just opened my Christmas Gift and yeah it's the Garmin Instinct,!!!!!! Bammmm
Nice, congrats! Hope you enjoy it! I recommend checking out my tutorial videos ua-cam.com/play/PL8griS8Ww-Knm1Kc3iyLd7Qhd9y6zmMuj.html
Can you add tactical widgets to a sports version, or basically, access to all the widgets to customize a version the way you want?
How does the sunrise and sunset work on these watches, is the location automatically picked up or you provide that information? What about weather/temperature? it picks up from internet or sensor detects the ambient temperature?
Wow Brilliant review, very detailed !
thanks a lot mate i just bought one of this and it helped a lot ... thumbs up

That was an insanely helpful video.
Thanks, I'll soon be ready for more "big footing." LOL
Thank you for this amazingly informative video!!!
I know this has been up for a while but the inreach is a satellite messenger and the xero is a archery sight and it marks where you were when you shot and where you were shooting to
Excellent thorough review!!!! Just can't get the gesture auto light....??? Version 6
Great tutorial...... Really helped me get to get my watch set up and to understand most of the function. thank you.
I'm really glad you found it helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching! :)
pairing to phone, it's nice that YOU'VE already set this up but what if WE haven't?
Perfect review, Dude! Thank you! looking forward to get mine and exploring it.
India me kitne ki padi
Thanks for this. Brilliant overview
Love how informative you are! Any chance you can do a tutorial for the instinct tactics?
Hi great video,
When you turn on a widget, does the watch switch to back to the watchface after a certain amount of time, or does it stay on the widget?
Also is the compass magnetic or electronic, i have found conflicting answers to online, so im not sure.
Can you pair it with a chest strap for more accurate HR monitoring?
Can this watch be paired with a chest strap for.more accurate heart rate reading? Does this watch count your daily steps? Thank you 😊
According to Amazon's Q&A for this product (and, I believe, the Garmin website), it can connect to chest strap using ANT+
Thank you so much for explaination! Greetings from Croatia! :)
Brilliant, thanks. Will buy.
Thank you very much. Needed this. Garmin user guide is practically useless. I guess the hourly alert by the watch can be used to remind you to take your meds or to drink water 17:56
Still recommend this watch for rugged, long battery life, no nonsense smartwatch? Are is there a better one in same price range?
Thanks for the in-depth review. From this video, I plan to watch your other videos.
It would have been helpful if some where either Garmin or you had mentioned that the watch is intended to be paired with a Smartphone.
You can also just sync the watch with your computer.
Would you say the Garmin instinct is too thick? I'm thinking about buying the watch
Awesome review! Thank you!
