I've waited so long to get this watch. Finally, a small size exists (could fit on a child wrist). Menu is easy to navigate through the watch. Also, personalize your menu with your preferences as much from the watch as from your phone. Didn't had the chance to go out on a hike to test the other option.

I love this watch

I've had this watch for 3 years now. I have taken this watch all around the world with zero complaints. When I have it synched to my phone with regular use i only have to charge it every 2 weeks. When I am not connected to a Bluetooth device I have closer to a month of battery life. The controls and application are super user friendly and easy to navigate.

I had an old Apple Watch that stopped working on me when I decided to run again. I was so frustrated and my friend told me I would love a garmin. So I chose the instinct 2s for my small wrist , and once I recieved it in the mail, I ran a half marathon days after! My watch was great! Pretty accurate, it allows me to have an emergency contact if my HR is too high. So many great features! My friend was right, I do love this garmin watch! Thank you garmin!

Even Better Than I Thought

I was worried about the large size of the screen, but it's actually a very comfortable to wear. I really like all of the exercise features and am excited to use the tracking capabilities for my dogs next hunting season.
UPDATE: I purchased a Garmin 300 and a pair of TT25 collars for my dogs this hunting season. I synced my Garmin Instinct watch with the Garmin 300. It works great! Before each hunt, I click on the Dog Tracking screen on my watch. During the hunt, I can look down at my watch anytime to see how far away each dog is (as well as the truck) and what direction they are from me. Whenever one of my dogs go on point, my watch vibrates and tells me which dog is on point. I can then see exactly how far to walk and in what direction to find my dog on point. I LOVE this feature! The cover is really tall/dense in Nebraska this year so I would surely be missing a lot of points without the watch (synced to the Garmin 300) helping me find my dogs on point to flush/harvest the pheasants. Highly recommend this watch!!

Great watch for running / trail running

This watch not only looks great but has great features. It accurately tracks my runs and even shares where I'm at in my races when I turn that on. The other features are great too.

Durable, affordable, with all the features one could want. Best thing about it is the 21 day battery life, which true to its word lasted for my 20 day excursion in Bolivia. Also love the ability to track my climbing training with the climbing feature. Cannot think of any "cons" - it's what it says it is. If you are looking for a sleek smart watch with all the bells and whistles this isn't it. But if you are looking for a durable, capable watch to use or your training or in your outdoor adventures, this watch performs great.
