Hi everyone, I just bought the garmin instinct crossover solar. It's brilliant. On opening the box, the watch has power. It was easy to setup. Went for a run with it today. The information after the run was great. On my old watch, garmin instinct, I enjoy seeing the pool temperature on the watch, when I swim. Still have to figure it out on the cross over. Overall a great watch.
@bigboss3314 Жыл бұрын
Do you still have the cross over and how do you like it? I haven’t bought one yet because I’ve read some people have issue with the hands being out of sync, so you have to recalibrate them often. Do you notice this?

They do put a huge mark up on their products at launch. And I say this as someone who LOVES the entire Instinct product line, it feels like they make them for me lol, except for the price. I just got the Instinct 2 solar for 261USD, less than a year after launch. I bet this can go down to 300USD by 2024. For this amount of money I would get an MRG G Shock, and use another fitness tracker when working out. But this device offers something no other device on the market does! Maybe if I was rich I would just have them both haha

Just from this review, you seem to miss the point of this watch's fitness tracking capabilities. You mostly refer to it as a smartwatch (with some sports settings). Granted the price has come down since this review, but I think you should emphasize that it’s more than just a smartwatch. I’m mostly looking at it because of the HR & other fitness metrics it tracks. Plus, it does look much better than a plain plastic watch!

I like the size, comfort, weight, and aesthetics of the Crossover compared to the Tactix 7. The Tactix has a color screen, MP3, flashlight,touchscreen, and topo maps. If you don’t need those, the crossover looks classy and rugged while being less than half the price. It looks formal/masculine in dress attire. I’ve tried the Tactix 7 and it presses up against the back of my hand while working out (e.g. push-ups, benchpress, etc). Also, it has some weight to it while running and moves around due to the weight. Both watches are great. I upgraded recently from the Instinct 2 solar… it looked kind of cheap/plasticy compared to the crossover…
