This Is A great Watch!

I have a video review but I failed to mention that the battery life is good. It's the perfect watch if you don't want or need all the bells and whistles. It has exactly what I want. I have had so much fun with this watch and with the Connect App. Another cool thing is you can add this watch to the Strava app and it will send all information from your watch to the app. Just discovered that today.
This watch has a horrible interface and it is difficult to use. Minature font and error messages when trying to connect to GPS. Heart Rate not accurate during indoor rowing. Rec'd as a gift....I'm trying to like it but the display is just too small and I'm basically not using most features because it becomes frustrating to use during exercise when I don't wear reading glasses.

Thank you for your review and experience with the Instinct 2S Solar. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny
I mountain bike, road bike, gravel ride, fly fish, swim and compete in the occasional triathlon. This watch can keep up with all my day to day activities and track the random fitness things I do in my life. It is great. I clicked "Good" because I wish it didn't look like a watch. I am a giant fan of mechanical watches. Wearing 2 watches makes me look like a tool. If they put this same functionality into something that didn't scream watch, I'd be in line for them to take my money.

I love all the features on this watch and the ease of it mapping for me. My only complaint would be how easy it is to push the buttons when I am working with my hands (think chopping firewood).

It has a lot of the features i want. Wish there was a climber step counter for ladder wells on ships i know its niche but i work on navy vessels. Other thing is that the starp was way to short and i have small wrist.

I absolutely love this watch. It does everything I need it to when working outdoor collecting ecological data. The battery life, even while tracking heart rate and location lasts a lot longer than my Vivoactive 4 watch. The interchangeable bands are nice too, though I wish all of them were a little longer. My wrists aren't very big and I still don't have much room left in the band.
