Overall great
on March 21, 2025

I enjoyed all the features, the weight and the size of this watch. I ended up returning it because there was one feature I needed for my training, which was the audio prompt
, and apparently this model of Garmin does not support it. I was actually very surprised that this model has so many features and yet it did not have this particular feature, which seems like a basic feature since they lower models carry it

Terrific watch but

This is a terrific watch, works well. Not too big or small. Tells time with a lot of extra tools to use. Only flaw is time to connect to gps to drop a marker. I have owned the instinct tactical 1 as well and same issue. This units is improved however this is big lag.

I’ve my watch for about a month now, but didn’t really start using until about 2 weeks ago. I really like the size as it is similar in size to my Apple Watch 9. I also really like the color. Just wish it didn’t look so much like a guys watch. So far it does everything that I need it too.

Perfect for my lifestyle
on March 4, 2025

I decided to purchase the smallest instinct 2 for myself after purchasing the largest for my husband a few months back. The battery life was the initial selling point, however I like that I can confidently do more outdoor things and feel comfortable about the durability of my watch. I previously had the venu, which I’ve kept so I can switch out when I need to dress “nicer” for work, which isn’t often. I’ve never been one to use all of the smart watch features, and mainly use it for notifications and tracking (steps, hiking, etc), however the ability to quickly see sunrise/sunset times has quickly become a nice bonus for my work (photographer). Maybe my venu could do that and I just never saw the option. Overall, I feel like the instinct is more responsive and maintains a better connection to my phone.

Features of the watch allow you to hold yourself accountable but also give you the transparency to do so.

Best value garmin.

This Garmin is perfect for someone who wants most the features of the high end ones without breaking the bank. it's robust and simple and does everything I want it for. since it's the s the battery life could be better but with its smaller size you can sleep without feeling like you have a brick on your wrist. I've accidentally smacked it against many things and it stands strong. Great watch.
