A great improvement on an already amazing watch

Love the original instinct and this is just the next best thing. The only thing I would like to be able to do is use it on a call without your phone ie use your watch to talk on the phone and be able to use Samsung and Google pay to use your already saved cards on your watch for tap to pay.

Instinct 2
on December 20, 2024
Posted by: Brent F
I have worn the Instinct watch for the past couple of years and love it. I primarily use it to track my mountain bike rides and it has held up in all weather along with tracking the accuracy of the mileage and elevation. A few times the watch has made impact with objects on the trail and I feel like it's saved my wrist from being injured and it comes out without a scratch on it. I love the rugged design, simplicity and dependability. Highly recommended!

Decent watch but not optimal
on December 14, 2024
Posted by: Nick F
The watch is decent for the price! Bought it as a less breakable option over my Apple Watch which I've replaced thrice due to fragility... I enjoy the Garmin app but it doesn't show real time metrics like my apple does which is just minor inconvenience as you must download the data on the app. I really enjoy having 17 days between charges vs Apples 10 hours! It definitely isn't as simple as an apple and takes some figuring out. My biggest gripe is that it'll randomly go into hike mode or some other mode throughout the day. I thought I was hitting a button on accident but it will do it here and there while my arm is propped up on the couch. Overall I prefer this watch to my Apple as it feels more robust and I can abuse it! I will be trying out the Fenix in the near future

Amazing watch, water proof, shock proof and really great battery life. Had this watch for a long time now and I would say it is the best watch that I have had.

Smart Watch that Looks "Dumb"
on December 5, 2024
Posted by: Thaddeus A
I appreciate that this watch is functional without being colorful and smart-looking. I owned an original Instinct before buying the Instinct 2, and they're both great. Battery life is much better with the 2, and the higher resolution display with more customization options is nice. If you're more interested in a watch for the outdoors than a watch that puts your phone on your wrist, then the Instinct is a great choice.
