I bought this watch about a month ago. I enjoy it. Helps me track my progress through out the day. Steps, tracks my sleep patterns. Truly enjoy it.

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar

Great watch. It's not difficult to get to different screens or track events. It stays charged well. I charge it once every two weeks or so, depending on how much sunlight it gets. When I do have to charge it, it's charged very quickly. Im not positive but I think less than three hours, when it was at 5%. I use it for hiking, camping, running, walking the dog, hunting, golfing and whatever else comes up. Easy to use and durable. Great watch overall. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I got it for my Birthday in August 2023. I never take it off, besides charging. I have only had to charge it maybe 6 times in 6 months. Great Sleep data and fitness data.

1st Month of use
on March 11, 2024

This watch seems to have checked all the boxes so far, I purchased it for Triathlon purposes, alongside an HRM ( also from Garmin). It is a robust unit, relatively cheap, and without all the things I don't consider relevant for the purpose, such as a touch screen and more "smartwatch" like features.

Awesome EDC watch/tool
on March 6, 2024
Posted by: Aron J.
I have purchased several brands of smartwatches for myself and my wife. The only smartwatches I have now are my Fenix 3HR and my new Instinct 2 Solar. Garmin is the only way to go for any use of a smartwatch. My Fenix 3HR is still running strong, but I prefer the size and feature set of the Instinct 2 Solar. Batter life is amazing, processing speed is plenty fast and the use learner curve is low. OEM wrist band is very comfortable. Best purchase I've made in a while! Thank you Garmin.

Lightweight and user friendly

This is my third garmin watch in the past 12 years and I appreciate the operational simplicity and ability to customize screens and activities. I'm not sure how well the solar function works, as it's February in Western Washington. I'm optimistic for the months when we do get sunshine, though.

Great for Training
on February 24, 2024

My brother-in-law sang the praises of his Garmin Instinct 2 Solar and suggested I might consider it to help me train for an upcoming through hike later this summer. I've found it has most if not all the features I was looking for, for training and tracking heartrate and my workouts. It's very user friendly and comfortable.

Great access to features
on February 12, 2024

I've been using the Instinct 2 solar for several months. It's the best fitness device I've used yet. It's great for tracking my health stats, and has great navigation to read out data on the watch face. I haven't explored all the features yet, but the tracking for hikes works well. It constantly nags me to get better sleep, but the on-line Garmin Connect app says my biological age is 15 years younger than my calendar age, so maybe it doesn't realize I'm old. I can't wait for spring bicycling season, so I can see if my scores improve.
