Just Wow - Upgraded from Garmin 935
on March 26, 2025
Posted by: Gartjudd
After nearly 6 yrs my 935 started to act wonky. Got the Instinct 2 and must say the data available is AMAZING! only thing is the band connection to the watch is a bit stiff and doesn’t flex to my wrist as nicely as the 935. Overall fantastic purchase!

Been looking at this watch for a long time and finally pulled the trigger. Wish I had gotten it a long time ago. Perfect for all my activities, which centers around hiking primarilly. Love the battery life

awesome battery life! got this watch 2 weeks ago. it came partially charged and I am now just charging it now even tho it says there are 3 days left. Fairly Easy to use after you figure out the buttons.

This watch has a lot of health data that is very interesting to look into. The only downside is the O2 sensor. Beong on the wrist, it is always off by at least 3 or 4 points. Ill check the watch then check a finger O2 sensor and the watch is always off. Sometimes by 6 points

Cheapest with long battery life

This is my fourth Garmin watch- the first one 12 years ago, the battery went after a few years. Then a used one, then a new Forerunner 45 in '21. Well, the battery died on that one so now I have the Instinct and I love it...
- Battery, Battery, Battery. Love not having to worry about charging all the time and love that I have room for future degradation
- Liking the features like sleep tracking, heart rate, customization, etc.
- Love the display customization (hey- what's sunrise, sunset, temp?)

So overall a nice improvement over my normal "cheapest watch I can get" and hope it lasts longer than three years.

Ireally like this watch it does so many things most of which I'm to old to really get into. I do wish you made a cheat card so you can find the uses you want. I use mine more for health checks which is great plus weather and alarms. The messaging is also fantastic

Wow - so much data
on April 3, 2025
Posted by: Happy Instincts
Got as a replacement for Garmin 935 going on the Fritz after 7 yrs. Based on comparison the Instinct 2 had all the features needed for an Ironman triathlon and more than my old 935. Defiantly pleased with all the data options, battery life and ease of use. Only downfall is I can’t get an aftermarket screen protector to stick. I used one for 7 yrs with the 935 and the screen stayed perfect; likely to scratch on the Instinct 2 without protection.

I like it but I can’t find treadmill walks. I can’t run and I need treadmill walks instead of treadmill runs. If anyone can tell me how to get that much appreciated.
