The best work watch out there
on November 18, 2024
Posted by: Scott C
from New Bern, NC, US
I'm a wildland firefighter which means I work outside in rugged and remote areas and I don't always have reliable power sources to hook up to. I previously owned the instinct solar and decided to upgrade to the 2x solar. I am supper impressed with the battery life as I've only had to charge it once in the month and a half that I've had it. It's also super durable so I don't ever think about damaging it as it is almost indestructible. The fitness features also come in handy tracking my trends over time so I have a good idea of where my health is at. All in all I am really happy with my purchase and I will continue to purchase Garmin products.

Great Watch Overall
on November 15, 2024
Posted by: Justin N
I have worn this watch every day for over a year now. I use it to track every workout, every sleep cycle, and I use it as a guide for my calorie expenditure for fitness tracking. This watch likely has more capabilities that I have to use it with an insanely comprehensive app. The built-in flashlight is also incredibly handy.
I have two small issues with the watch: One is that it never maintains a constant connection with my iPhone, so things like weather tracking are not available unless I sync with the app constantly. Not a big issue because I can simply check my phone. The second is that not long after getting the watch, I noticed a small scratch on the glass. The watch was advertised to have incredible scratch-resistant glass, and I don't recall putting it through much of a beating, so this was a little disappointing. Nevertheless, it is a great tool for health tracking and everyday utility.

Incredible watch!

This watch is amazing. I love how durable and water proof it is. I wore it down to Mexico for a week and everything from the GPS to the phone connectivity was very useful. It also helps a lot with work for time keeping and keeping my alerts close and handy at all time. The durability is something unheard of. I dropped a pallet of deer corn on my arm and while my arm hurt, the watch was scratch free.

Great watch with plenty of extras for hiking or hunting. Getting about 21-28 days of battery life with the solar panel. Haven't gotten to use everything yet, but with Connect app you can see everything from steps to calorie count.

Garmin - Instinct® 2X Solar Moss
on October 8, 2024

Needed a rugged watch to replace my old GShock 6900. This watch will not disappoint with all of its included features. I was mainly looking for a watch to keep track of my runs/heartrate and this watch does the job with ease and accuracy. You can also pair it to your phone and sync it to the Garmin app which shows all the data recorded on the watch such as sleep/runs/heartrate/stress levels and a whole lot more! I also use it to control music from my phone that's connected to a wireless speaker which is very convenient. So far this watch has not let me down. The 2x Solar also has a built in flashlight (red or white) which is pretty bright and you can also set it up for it to come on as strobe light during an activity such as run so you can safely run when the sun is down if you run where there are a lot of cars passing. This watch has so many other cool features that I don't use but its always good to have for future situations. This watch has a little bit of a learning curve but with a little manual reading and hands on experience, this watch is simple to use.
