This watch is great, battery life is very good, it takes awhile to update in back to start in hunt mode but it's adequate. Glad I bought it much better than my hand held gps.

Software update and then no battery!
on October 3, 2025
Posted by: NBJ2025
The watch asked for a software update and the day after the battery was drained after 4-6 hours. I’ve tried everything to save power and even put the watch into battery save mode. Still, the battery dies after 4-6 hours. Before the software update no issues, battery lasted 3+ weeks.

I'm sorry to hear that the battery on your Instinct 2 is not lasting as long as it should. Oftentimes battery-related issues can be resolved by adjusting a few settings. Please review the owner's manual for tips to maximize the battery life: http://ms.spr.ly/6425sxzFh

Better than the Instinct

Overall good and easy to use functions, good battery life unless you use GPS tracking then it plumets. Pretty accurate and great motivator. Probably get the solar option next time. Band is worthless had to update as soon as I got it.

Has a lot of features of the expensive watches while being a lot lighter. Battery is really good for how small and light it is

Young, active person's watch

I should have done better research on the watch. Quite a few of the guys at work wear Garmin watches. I like the look. That's it. lf I performed half the outdoor activities the watch tracks, it would be money well spent, but I don't. I use a watch for the timer and stopwatch. Getting messages is cool, but not necessary. I will most likely sell it...or give it away to someone that could use it.
