So far so good!

I got this a month ago and have only had to charge it once which is great! I went from having a very simple watch to this and the transition was a lot better than expected. Love all the fitness and outdoors features. I haven’t had a chance to use the GPS or some of the more outdoor oriented features a whole lot yet but am excited to do so on some upcoming trips.

Great smartwatch

My son-in-law got me this watch because I need something to calculate the correct calories burned each day, my SPO2 and my heartbeat. What I got was so much more. And I love the fact that I can change the faces to help me stay motivated to achieve my goal step everyday.

Takes alittle to get used to all the settings, however, it runs great. I wish the Faces had some better options.

Great sports watch, refined software, comfortable

I have been using Instinct 2 for about two weeks now. I have used Apple Watch for 5 years and Pebble before that. I am very happy to move to a monochrome, simple no-frills interface. The watch UI has a learning curve to it. Garmin can make its booklet or online help a little better. I had to watch private Youtube videos to figure most things out.
The battery life is amazing, so is the comfort of wearing this. I am pleasantly surprised how well made and lightweight this watch is! The sensor readings are accurate, the workout rep counter is doing surprisingly well.
I would give this a 5 star if Garmin can add meditation and mindfulness related workouts to the default watch OS. I have so far not able to record meditation and that is a bummer.

This has all the functions I need and more. But sometimes it does not pick up my pulse. (I am wearing it as snug as the instructions say.)

Does what is should

Got this watch for Christmas after shopping mulitple online, seems like I made the right pick. Does everything I want it to, can even skip songs and change volume which I did not know it could do when I bought it. Wish the battery life actually last 24 days but I have the navigation and phone connection on so I get why It does not but, it does last about a week which is pretty good. I wear it hunting and love the heart rate monitor.
