I’ve enjoyed the Garmin instinct. It “just works”.

Yeah I love my Instinct...great as a basic everyday watch (always on, easy to read, never have to think about charging it), full-featured as a GPS running watch, nice addition in the backcountry as it integrates with my inReach satellite device. Sending and receiving text messages from my wrist while on the side of a mountain 50 miles from the last trace of cell service is kind of fun.

I resisted the idea of a smartwatch for years and bought this mostly for outdoor stuff, but I've found myself wearing it all the time.

This. It is absolutely my favorite piece of gear when hunting, hiking or fishing because it just works. I have the Solar Version and while it can’t fully recharge from solar with GPS in full power tracking, it’s amazing how long it’ll run in expedition mode.

More importantly it looks like a G Shock and is similarly tough.
