Excellent watch

I purchased this watch a month ago and I love it. Gives me everything I want and survives my sweat. I sweat greatly and this is the first a watch to survive. Outstanding

Great battery life & analytics
on November 20, 2023
Posted by: multi discipline user
Battery life is very impressive & I get a fair bit of solar charging whilst cycling, running & hiking also. It gives me a lot of data that is relevant & no fluff that isn't. I also like having Garmin pay on it so I can leave wallet behind & still get food & drinks whilst out if needed. At first the non bright screen bothered me but I soon got used to it & now prefer it as I can actually wear this watch to bed & it doesn't wake me up with the screen glowing if I lift or turn my wrist when asleep.

Wonderful battery life

I am enjoying my instinct 2 solar, the battery life is amazing. I am still learning how to use all of the workout functions but overall a very simple to use watch that has a ton of features.

Garmin is gold standard in workout watches.

I purchased this a month ago and have not taken it off since. As a previous fitbit owner for 8 years truly no comparison in watches. Fitbit is just a cheap copy of garmin.

Love the watch BUT
on November 16, 2023
Posted by: Bhume
The watch as a whole I great. The two things I don’t like It how small the screen due to the solar panels. Also the solar really doesn’t do a lot. Could have went to a different watch and got a bigger screen. The 2X is a massive watch and not very sleek.

Durability of a G shock with all the data features

Had a whoop strap and a g-shock for years. Got rid of both and replaced them with the Instinct 2 Solar and haven’t looked back!

Techy watch for a techy outdoorswoman
on November 14, 2023
Posted by: Deb O
I had to get a solar watch for running and hiking, right? I needed to watch all the Garmin videos and consult the owner's manual, but I think I've got it now. The watch buttons have two layers which are a challenge while running, but very cool. The battery life is amazing. I haven't hiked with it yet, but soon. I'm glad I bought it.

One of the best all around smart watches
on November 8, 2023

If you are an all around active person or looking to improve your health, you can't go wrong with the Instict 2 Solar. Battery last around 30 days before charging , if you dont use the GPS.
It will pair with Garmin Connect , so you can view all your stats, from sleep - workouts - recovery. You can add and edit activities, from golf to indoor cycling.
Enjoy! *****
