So good, but...

Im really enjoying the time using my Instinct 2s Solar. Training and wellness never had been so intuitive and attractive; the metrics, the gps signal, all have been extremely successful. But there's a really big problem and is the time that takes to upload a finished activity and also, the time that takes to open a past activity, i have waited up to 30s to open a 40k trail run. I would enjoy that this will be fixed in future updates

Indestructible Functionality

I have had the older version of this watch for several years, and this one seems to be just as tough with much better features. I have banged it on walls, dove, surfed, and flown with it, and have never experienced a failure. I highly recommend this watch to anyone with a tendency to unintentionally destroy their equipment.

Returned it for a refund

I returned the Garmin and got a google pixel watch. So glad a did. Less expensive and it connects with my Android phone. Does everything my phone does and more. The Garmin was too expensive and much more complicated to use.

I've used the gps to track speed and mileage on water. It has been a great watch for.the applications I will be using. I especially like it holding a charge for up to 2 weeks!

Nice Watch
on May 28, 2023

I was wanting a watch I didn't have to charge every 1 or 2 days, this is an Impressive watch. Was a bit reluctant to purchase at first but its packed with features, bit of a learning curve if you are used to swipe and tap smarts. The wristband could have been a bit longer, but overall Im very pleased with it.

Not as good as I was expected.

If you are using it for regular purposes like running, hiking, or swimming it is pretty good.
But I am using it for the SleepAsAndroid app either which is using heart bit, breathing, and pulse Ox sensors all night. For this purpose, the battery is barely enough.
The solar charging feature looks like just a feature and nothing more.
But there are excellent sensors and excellent apps for tracking any kind of your activity.

Maybe later, Garmin will be able to create a built-in battery in Band for working time prolongation.
