Extremely Useful
on January 13, 2023
Posted by: Mechanical Watchfan
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.

Disappointing Gift
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Athletic Dad
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.

Not so good, but it's possible to fix it

Good: works as expected. Have good heart controll(not always alarm about high value). Have hot keys. Have app.
Bad: sometimes time of minutes doesn't update well and when it should switch from 51 to 52 it stop on 51 and 52 time together. It will be good to add to hotkey 'notification' tab. Sometimes it disconnected with phone even if autostart is on. Also it connected only when I start app.

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.

Has all I need. Tons of features

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

Packed full of useful tools

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.
