The best watch I've ever owned
on December 30, 2023
Posted by: JWR0
I received this watch as a gift and have been totally satisfied with it. I was able to customize the display to my liking. I charged the battery the day I received it--about 3 weeks ago--and haven't had to charge in again. I have two daily alarms set and I like the feature which enables me to turn off the alarm if I've already done what the alarm was intended to remind me of.

Garmin Watch Instinct 2
on January 1, 2024
Posted by: Bullitt
I was excited to get the watch, but have been disappointed. The directions that came with it was not useful setting it up. I still can't get the correct temperature on my watch. The temperature showing is showing neither inside the house or outside the house.
2nd In the bottom right of the watch face is a time? I think. It shows nothing, but I can't find how to fix either issue on the net. If I could find solutions for those two things This watch would be awesome.

Not impressed!

I was a Fitbit 4 user for a few years until it broke, tried the Fitbit 5 but its measure of total calories was high by +50% although the screen was colorful and easy to read. So, I did some research and selected the Garmin Instinct 2. The screen is low contrast and a bit difficult to read. The measure of calories burned during a workout is very underestimated. For example, I know that I burn 500-700 calories in a heavy weightlifting workout of 60-75 min. The Garmin registers 200-250, and 60-80 of that is resting rate. It sometimes gets no readings for sleep time. All of the “features” for 20-30 different exercises are somewhat useless if it cant measure calories accurately. I hoped to simply have heartbeat, total calories burned in a day and as a subset, calories burned in a workout. The Garmin falls short of providing that accurately. NOT recommended. I wish i had returned it!

Its a good watch for workouts and monitoring your sleeping and stress levels. Also the GPS is really handy when hiking.

Best Smart Watch for the Budget.

I had the Forerunner 735XT. The Instinct 2 is a way more advance watch. I love the HRV data and sleep data. Great watch to monitor your recovery. I tried the Whoop band for a month and it was nice to see all the data but it was not worth the monthly subscription. This watch is easy to use, battery life is excellent and I can track the sports that matter to me. The only thing I wish this watch could do is to track my naps. They should add NAPS as another activity to track. Overall is great watch for the price and it looks awesome. I’ve been asked a few times what kind of watch Im wearing.
