Simple to Use
on January 17, 2023
Posted by: Davidyounger
I purchased my Instinct 2 for Christmas, and once I got the watch, I fell in love. With solar charging and the ability for no plug in charge for 20 + days, makes this watch incredible. And with the different sport activities tracker, makes the purchase of this watch a no brainer

Long Battery Life
on January 20, 2023
Posted by: mr_guns
I've had this watch for a just short of a month and the battery is awesome. The watch fits better than my Vivoactive did. Not happy with visibility of the text on the screen, hard to see. Don't like that to get my sleep information to show I have to wait until well after my set wake time and then still have to sync numerous times. Never had this issue with my old watch. I would not buy again because of the visibility issues.

GPS doesn't track well
on January 23, 2023
Posted by: Zif_lovestoGoof
About 5 weeks ago my Garmin indicated I was running under 7 minute miles (I run 9-11 minute miles), then it said I was running 14 minute miles - arg!! I tried downloading the latest update. Still doesn't track well. Dang, pretty expensive timing device.

My favorite sports watch of all time

This thing goes forever, it tracks everything I need, it looks dope, I love it. I’ve never been more satisfied. I think it’s the safest purchase in Garmin’s whole line up.

Great features

First watch I've bought that the band actually fits my wrist. I love the accountability factor that I have using the Connect App to track my daily and weekly activity.

A Great Instrument
on March 8, 2023
Posted by: Dead Man Running
I am a Garmin fan. I own 2 Marqs, an Epix 2 and now an Instinct 2. The main reason I bought the Instinct 2 relates to travel. More than any other Garmin it can stay charged on sunlight alone. If you are going to a sunny destination, you can leave your charging cord at home. At this stage of my life, it records my morning runs and all the statistics that go with it. It is also a very hearty watch and can take more punishment than i can dish out.
