I’m still finding features that it has.

Very happy. Battery life is wonderful like 21 days!! The only thing I don’t like is the morning feature and that’s because I can’t see it without my glasses and I may be able to change that.

Recently purchased...very different then what Im used. No touch screen is kind of a deal breaker. No the easy to manuver..just more if a learning curve them anything.

Great battery life and fitness features

I’ve been wearing my Garmin Instinct 2 Solar watch for about a month, and it’s great! I was charging my old Apple Watch twice a day, but the Garmin can go two weeks without charging which is much more convenient. The Fitness Age, VO2 max, and detailed running stats have encouraged me to increase my fitness level. The solar charging is not as quick or substantial as I hoped. After sitting on the beach in full sun for an hour, it only increased its charge by 2%.

Nice watch but less battery life than the original

I really like this watch, but my personal experience is that the Instinct 2 has slightly less battery life and a less efficient solar charging than my original Instinct watch. There are some new bells and whistles over and above the first version, but I really don't use those much.
