Hard to read face
on September 29, 2024
Posted by: Firebrother24
The watch seems like a nice watch, however the screen not being in color and smaller made it very difficult for me to read. I ended up returning the watch and buying a fenix 7 pro solar. So far I like the fenix 7 more just due to being able to see the face better and read it better.

Excellent Fitness Watch
on September 23, 2024
Posted by: Marcus S
Bought this watch because battery life is my biggest concern, and it has been stellar. Even with using a lot of features, the battery lasts over two weeks per charge with the solar feature. With the Connect app, this watch can do anything you need (and likely more). It's been really easy to dial in my training intensity and amount. So far it's stood up to water and rugged conditions, cant recommend it enough.

Great Improvement over the original Solar Instict
on September 14, 2024
Posted by: Pat0846
I purchased this watch as a replacement for my original Solar Instict. I loved the watch but did not love the relatively short battery period between charges. The Solat Instict 2 has great battery life and the watch now gives the owner the ability to document periods on a treadmill as an activity, which is my usual exercise choice. All in all, a really good, tough and handsome watch that is well worth the cost.

Good watch
on September 14, 2024

Good fit and light weight. The solar is awesome, I’ve not charged it in a week and it’s at 90%. The only thing I dis-like about the watch is, none of the watch faces that it comes with lets you keep the compass on your Home Screen. You have to hit a button for the compass to pop up, which isn’t a big deal. But for me it would be more convenient to always have your compass on the Home Screen.

Rugged string
on September 6, 2024

This is the first watch that I have owned that I
could honestly say that I don't worry about taking it off any time I start to do anything. This watch is rugged and long-lasting even with everything I have running it still will go well over two weeks before needing a charge. The only watch that I think I would buy if this watch ever does quit working is another Garmin
