Bought this to replace my Forerunner. Love the additional features and data display flexibility. Sale price made this purchase a great value

Swapped iwatch for this great device
on June 8, 2024
Posted by: ron2k
I had a iwatch 7 and I probably expected something it wants to be but is not.
I did not like how it feels on a hand, bumpy design. I really hate touch screen and greasy fingerprints on it, hate daily routing recharging it. Basically it is a show off device which I do not need.
My choice fell upon instinct 2 without solar. I absolutely love its functionality, it had all I need. Start excercise? Press button 3 times (you will not miss time screen buttons, no need to scroll and do extra moves). It knows when I wake up and go to bed just like apple product. I can disable alarm and hourly chime with 3 clicks. Interface and UX was done by real pro and I love it. Everything is easy to find and is easy to use.
Barometer in iwatch? Never heard of it? Here you go, garmin gives it to you for less money :)
Display is not colored but who cares? I need it functional. 27 days on a single charge, can you imagine it apple? Probably not cause you died 26 days ago :)
It gives an impression of powerful device nevertheless. Compass is very responsive, pulse display is almost immediate. Probably regret for buying simplest version and not 2x but still love the device.
I realize some like it and some hate it.

Bought the instinct 2 after buying my wife the vivoative 5. It’s my first time getting into smartwatches. My wife had a Fitbit which broke after 6 months. We are both so pleased with these two acquisitions; they both fit our personalities and lifestyles. I even went and bought the weight scale to try and lose lbs… we’re garmin for life.

I’ve wanted to get a Garmin watch for some time. I saw the Instinct 2, liked the features and it was in my price range.

Great Fitness Watch!

I changed from Fitbit charge 2 to Garmin 16 days ago. The first day I was skeptical if the Instinct 2 was going to be right for me, but now that I’ve learned the basics I love it! It keeps me motivated to continue moving and the app gives just what I need to work towards a healthier me! Every couple days I discover one more thing about the Garmin that reassures me I made the right choice!
I used Fitbit for years and always wondered how accurate the step count was. After getting my Garmin, it confirms my skepticism. When mowing the yard on my zero turn, the Fitbit showed I had 15,000 steps while riding. The Garmin shows none! Thank you Garmin for a great product!
