Good feature…too small though.
on November 29, 2023
Posted by: FireNomad
Garmin comes through again. This is my third Garmin, second in the Instinct line, in the last 10+ years. Feature improvements are great. Only complaint is the watch feels small (replaced a Fenix 5x plus), but over the next 4-5 years maybe it’ll grow on me (yes pun intended).

great watch expect OS itself
on November 30, 2023
Posted by: Todd the Fox
overall this instinct 2 solar are good but feel lighter alway meaning cheap but not always as depend on tester give a stress test as for example if said military grade approved so you know the result as now the OS on watch need improvement like I use Timer a lot for remind me to check on many thing while I was work on computer grab my attention cause forgot thing. Everytime I start the timer make long annoy vibrate bother me a lot and I dont understand why not make a short quick vibrate similar as beep. This issue indeed it drain battery that way if use a lot as use. Come on, do better.

Nice time piece!
on December 1, 2023
Posted by: Allen S NC
I have been wearing the watch for two weeks. It is very light and comfortable to wear. Sizing reminds me a lot of a Suunto Core. Full charge indicator says 30 days. Not outside enough for solar feature to effectively work, maybe next spring/summer I will see the feature benefit. I’m not using all the features this watch offers so I can’t comment on everything this watch can do. I do like the larger numbers as my older eyes can see them well without reading classes to check the time and date. Band provides plenty of length for larger wrists. Highly recommend.

Compare to the citizen smartwatch, this is enough
on December 4, 2023
Posted by: mivuong
I know I did bought the first citizen smart watch but to compare it, this Garmin smart watch is enough for me.I mean I don’t know if this is a real deal or not but at least it’s way more better than the citizen smart watch and forever it is truly a nice smart watch that I first saw on my wrist of hand. I think I love the sport style smart watch better than to some thing maybe it’s a way too much stuff but the citizen smart watch cannot get online for the long distance and the long hours of itself. Either way, I think I temporarily I have this one first but if there is any other choice of the Garmin, I’ll choose to see or consider to others of this brand. But if not, I’ll temporarily I’ll take this then. Thanks for the suggestion in the app of Treecard. I’m loving this smart watch. Thanks again !

Love my instinct 2 solar but ...

I bought this (US version) 3 weeks ago and so far love it.
But if it had Asian language options to add on, it would be a great device.
