Garmin 2 Solar
on December 12, 2022
Posted by: HER42
Bought Garmin 2 Solar three weeks ago and have noticed significant improvements from Instinct 1. Battery lasts longer by at least 60%, Swim analytics are much more comprehensive/helpful, Cycling analytics also more comprehensive. watch face is lit better , much easier to view during and after activity.

Incredible battery life and the Garmin features yo

Great watch with many of the high end Garmin features runners and bikers want on a fitness watch. The solar works well and has helped keep my usual charging to once every 3-3.5 weeks. Great watch!

Very difficult to learn how to use.
on December 16, 2022
Posted by: MattM
I bought this watch to use for outdoor activity, working out, etc. I will say that I'm very accustomed to using the Apple Watch and the ease of use that comes with that. But with this Instinct watch, it was extremely difficult to figure out all the features. I felt like there were so many button pushes and combination of buttons to push just to get to a feature that I wanted to use. It was not user friendly at all. And, I felt like the resources out there to learn how to use it were lacking, so I returned the watch.

I have owned a lot of Garmin products so my expectations were high. And I am not disappointed. Owned for about a month and love it easy to use and provides a ton of info. I would recommend it over an Apple Watch

Use and programming
on December 21, 2022
Posted by: Mr Lynn
The information as to how and use and program this (the manual that comes with the watch) watch as well as use is very poor and offers very little information on it's use or how to program the watch. Basically it is useless. As a result of the lack of use and programming information, I am not willing to try getting into other programs since I am concerned that I may not be able to get back to the main screen.

Can't read; font too small!

Instructions are too complicated. Does not allow us to choose functions except on the watch, which is too small, hence it is useless. Not very accurate health data. But love the waterproof and battery charge lasts a long time because none of the apps can be used.
