I really do enjoy it.

It was a swap-out because another failed on me. I DO appreciate the efforts put forth by Garmin. I’ve owned them for a few years now… so this solidifies my continued use.

Lackluster

The watch doesn’t register blood pressure like the original Instinct. It takes a lot for it to Solar charge, I don’t quite understand the ability to Solar charge. The other feature upgrades are minimal with BP registering or lack Solar charge efficiency.

Still working on the learning curve, but got the buttons down quickly. Now to decide what I want and don’t, but plenty of choices, and is working great for my needs. Love the long, long battery life.

It’s a change from my VivoActive due to no touchscreen but it has way more features and a much improved battery. Still navigating some of the bells and whistles but so far it’s awesome!

Still learning

My experience with this watch so far is good.
My expectations of the watch have not been tested yet and me being in my senior years may not. In years past I used the Garmin for way points and area calculations for work and fires. The wearable GPS was a great tool. I will still use the GPS for track back and way points. Never know if I will need the GPS coordinates for mapping but nice to have the option.
I like the lightweight and comfortable watch. It’s not my everyday watch because I do some mechanics and don’t want to subject the instinct 2 to the abuse, and prefer a smaller cheaper watch.
