Great bot indoors and outdoors
on October 30, 2022
Posted by: Ron G
I love all of the information my Epic 2 tracks. I use it for tracking things like sleep, and training readiness. I also use it to interface with my Garmin Alpha. It has several dog tracking data screens providing valuable feedback on my dogs activity while hunting. I use this watch everyday and would buy it again for all of the information it provides.

Body Battery Gamechanger
on October 13, 2022
Posted by: Andrew P
I originally got this watch to help navigate in the backcountry with the altimeter. There are so many features that add to the value of the watch. My favorite is the sleep tracker and body battery. I've never been a great sleeper, but I'm able to see when I'm getting good sleep and understand why I'm so tired.
Finally the golf app rocks too.

Coolest watch I have had with so much utility!
on September 23, 2022
Posted by: Henry M
I will start by saying that this watch is not for everyone as ABC watches such as this one have a high price and if you aren't using the watch with its intended features you will not be getting your money's worth.
With that out of the way, this is a really awesome watch, and is a huge upgrade to pretty much any watch you have. I already have some mountaineering trips planned which I will be using this watch on, and I have used it on a few camping/backpacking trips already as well, and it is so useful. Programming the watch is not hard, same with the setup - once you get into the specifics of some features though, it can become a bit tedious, especially when there are things that you have to edit on the watch itself, and not through the mobile app.
All in all, I am super satisfied with this purchase, and I am confident that the Instinct 2 will make my adventures more enjoyable!

Montre très utile mais l'interface reste toute de même très simpliste.

Fenix 7X keeps improving
on August 10, 2022
Posted by: Spencer E
The Fenix 7X improves substantially on the 6x with the flashlight and touchscreen being the two main standouts. Garmin is improving their software and ecosystem. An incredible piece of tech that can do just about anything.
I love the fact that its strengths lie away from trying to keep you connected.

Too complicated!
on July 9, 2022
Posted by: TiaTia
Coming from the FitBit world, I’m shocked at how complicated it has been to set up my Instinct2 solar watch. The multiple buttons on the watch are not at all intuitive. I consider myself pretty tech savvy and I’m pretty frustrated. The watch is attractive and has so many capabilities- now if only I could figure out and then REMEMBER how to access them!
