Fantastic

Old school feel, smart watch functions, perfect for people “of that age” that want a little nostalgia, but still want a solid smart watch with good fitness tracking

Fairly simple and very reliable

I'm old. I'm tech deficient. But I love this watch. I track my laps and time in the pool.
And my steps. That's really all I need. This watch has much more capacity than I will ever use.
It's a good item. I enjoy it.

Great Watch!

I bought this watch around a month ago. The battery life is incredible, even when it’s not getting much solar activity. The features are great. For my fellow golfers, this watch doubles as a golf watch! The one draw back is that the watch does not feature a touchscreen face, which I as unaware of when I first purchased. Though it’s really not a big deal when you get used to it. I previously had a Fossil smartwatch (don’t recommend). This watch absolutely blows it out of the water. Great features, great battery life, and insanely accurate activity tracking. Can’t ask for much more.

Tracking

I’m very pleased with this purchase. It tracks my sleep, heart rate, steps and a lot more. The battery lasts for about a month so I don’t have to charge it often compared to other smart watches I have owned. Overall great product with a ton of features that I’m anxious to learn and use.

Meh

Got this as a replacement for a Fitbit. To me there was far too many buttons to push and remember where things were and no better health monitoring than what is on a standard Fitbit. I was not impressed. Seems like an old Timex Ironman knockoff. No color screen, not as much analytics I could use without purchasing another app. Sorry to say I am returning this for a Fitbit Versa which by the way is way cheaper. Not a fan.

Great watch

I wanted to update my wife’s forerunner 35 with the forerunner 255 and stumbled across the instinct. I bought this for myself to track running and hiking. I work outside so I like the simple rugged look. This is my first smart watch and I love it. I’d had it for a few weeks and haven’t taken it off. The battery is great and the smart watch features are really useful.

Outstanding watch, fantastic features!

I received my Instinct 2 Solar as a gift, and I could not be more pleased with this product.
Because my birthday was three weeks ago, I am still getting used to all of the superb features of this excellent watch. I have been a Garmin customer for many years and as is always, Garmin products are just simply excellent with amazing functionality.

Nice outdoors watch. Light-weight, great features.

This is a great watch. It has some of the smart watch features, yet is a great outdoorsman watch. It's one of the more accurate watches for gps features. I appreciate it is light-weight and you don't really feel it on your wrist.
