Excellent performance
on December 22, 2023
Posted by: Valh
I purchased this to keep track of my workouts and hikes. Long battery life, GPS tracking and recording, heart rate and breathe rate. The app on the phone works in giving all the information in an easy format. The information on my hikes is displayed in the app, gives all the needed information time, distance, speed, elevation and the weather. Very pleased with the performance of this watch.

Large screen, but many improvements to OG Instinct
on December 24, 2023
Posted by: IanD
I owned the Original Instinct. Loved that watch. But decided to upgrade to this for a few reasons. #1: The flashlight (torch). Thing is amazing, and the red light option is nice for camping and if you have kids. #2 Solar and Battery life. Again a huge improvement compared to the OG Instinct Solar. Other reasons: Addtl activities, Store watch screens, Training readiness, HRV, etc. All these extras bring the Instinct up to the level of the other Garmin watches (aside from color screen and navigation). The other thing is the 5mm size difference between the two watches seems HUGE at first. And the watch still looks big to me. But I’m getting used to it. And it’s worth it to me for all the new features.

Instinct 2x solar
on December 25, 2023
Posted by: Rw solar fan
After much deliberation over deciding to replace my GShock solar watch that I’ve worn everyday for 12 years and after doing a lot of research on weather to upgrade to smartwatch concept. I must say this Instinct 2x Solar is so far everything advertised. Love the design with 50mm size. It’s like having my old GShock but on a larger grander scale. The battery life with the solar charging is excellent. I haven’t had to plug watch in to charger since initially received from purchase. So many features are offered not sure what all I will use on this watch but so far I am extremely satisfied with this upgrade. I still have to give a shout out to my old reliable GShock solar.

I bought this watch about a month ago and charged fully but when it went dead I tried to charge it with the charging cable and it won’t respond at all

This watch battery is good. The only thing that needs to improve is the app.

Love this watch
on January 1, 2024
Posted by: Skip McQ
This watch has everything I need and nothing I don’t need.
It’s easy to use. Intuitive and practical. I never thought I would use the flashlight but it has come in extremely handy.
One thing I like is the ability to download apps and custom watch faces . I am a fisherman and hunter and downloaded tides app and a watchfacw I can use for hunting ( wind, moon, outside temp, sunrise/sunset .
For me it’s perfect
