Just found this group. I have a Garmin Instinct that I have been using for nearly two weeks. I walk every day and like to hike as well. I enjoy the steps challenges.

    Hey @shon4145 The Instinct is a new model...I'm jealous. :)
    I just finished a step challenge in June.

    I figured out never get in a step challenge with a newbie...my friend got his first garmin and he CRUSHED IT on the challenge, but everyone else by a mile.

    Good luck with yours.

    Did you sync it with your MFP account?

    Also new here. I have 2 Garmins - Forerunner 35 for step tracking, running and sometimes it catches my sleep as well. Also a Garmin Edge Explore for riding bikes.

    @Argos74 My first Garmin was the FR35. I bought up, they do get pricey, and got the Forerunner 645. I really like the bluetooth syncing with my phone.
