I’ve had this watch for about a month. I bought the Instinct 2 Solar S with the smaller wrist band. Glad I did. Recommend reading the “ manual “ Some features like how to start measuring distance while snowshoeing aren’t intuitive to me at least.

I bought this watch about a month ago. I have several other Garmins but I liked the solar feature. Like also that it tells me lots of data. I I’m glad I got the “s” model as I have a small wrist. You do need to read the manual as all the features are not obvious or intuitive, like starting the wide selection of intuitiedcgh

I bought this a month ago and have been in love with it since. I had a garmin 230 and it was About time I updated. The features have won me over! It’s basically the same watch but obviously more updated, and better features.
I switched from the Vivoactive to the Instinct. I thought I was going to miss the touch screen and colors but honestly, the Instinct is so much easier to use and has way more features! Love that I can charge it via solar, especially when I'm out on long river trips or backpacking trips. It tracks my activities very accurately. I have yet to use the actual GPS feature but I imagine it's great.
