BEST fitness tracker
on June 7, 2023
Posted by: Flopeacechild
I bought this for myself after a month of research. I had a whoop strap for 4 years that caused great frustration and much sleep anxiety. This is THE BEST watch and tracker, HRV, sleep, exercise options, heart rate, oxygen, and it picks up activity automatically. I’m sorry I waited so long. I love that it tells me my Body battery charge in the morning. This Instinct 2 MAKES ME HAPPY!

Difficult to Understand Features
on June 10, 2023
Posted by: Mudrum
I had a hard time using their App. I have to admit I'm 80 years old so that might have something to do with it so I asked my daughter in law for help. She got the message notiication started which I like but I still have no clue on how t start, stop and pause my run or walk. Very frustrating.

Buttons!
on June 11, 2023
Posted by: mditeresa
When I saw that the Instinct2 had buttons and not a touch screen, I thought that I had made a big mistake. But after setting it up and using it for a few days, I really like it. Great health-tracking features and the app is very good, too. I even bought some different colored watchbands to more personalize it.

Dislike Watchface
on June 11, 2023
Posted by: Bibs
The watch is great, except the data fields on the watchface aren’t very clear or big enough to read. I have 20/20 vision and the heart rate is unreadable during exercise. I wish I had bought another watch. On the good side, I will say the battery lasts forever and it seems nearly indestructible! It just doesn’t do what I needed most.

Garmin Instinct 2
on June 14, 2023
Posted by: Joebert
The battery is good for 19 days without charging., quality built is good and it’s just simple the way I want. The time is readable in sunlight. I’m very satisfied. I did the research first and decided to get this under my price range. Highly recommended.

Watch Doesn't Charge
on June 15, 2023
Posted by: CECKY
I was very disappointed with this watch. Out of the box it had 8 days of charge. I tried to charge it various times, connecting to my laptop; connecting to a charging station; connecting my phone power source and all failed.
It was a great watch for 8 days. B I am skeptic about how "rugged" .
The charging system is NOT rugged. Any article is only as rugged as its weakest point.
Great 8 day watch!!!

Not A Happy User!
on June 20, 2023
Posted by: DEBarnes60+
It started out fine but after three weeks, the device started malfunctioning. It will not charge, I lost consecutive days of working out and now I'm back to using a Vivoactive 3 that isn't working properly either.
