>>2665767A Garmin instinct (esports edition, lol)
Pros:
Biometrics, GPS positioning, temp, barometer, can drop pins with custom names making a ghetto 1 way messaging app, route tracking with speed and altitude, moon phase, compass, weather (if phone has data connection), custom panels for tracking mode so you can choose what to display where on the watch face while "running a track"
Cons:
-Need a power solution to charge it after 1 day of tracking use, VERY power hungry. Can get almost a week out of it if I am not pounding the GPS tracking.
-Can't drop a custom pin if it's tracking a route leading to a bunch of disjointed "tracks" that needed to be manually joined later on their online app
-Needs to connect to satellite for a position if you aren't running it in a tracking mode (sucks if you've found a neat side road while going 30 as the pin will be far off the actual spot)
-No one push button for drop a pin here, needs to connect, get position, then you can customize the pin with a name and symbol and save it.
There are some other neat things you can do with it like "give me a straight line from where I am towards what I am looking at" and use that as a guide to get to some landmark. For the $130 I got it for I think it's really gud but it's also my first GPS watch. Or GPS that isn't on a phone for that matter. I also haven't tried to get it to play with another GPS map like Gaia or onx. Having a real map on the watch face would be nice but for an entry level watch it's done more than I was looking for.
