Worth The Price

I’ve had this watch for about a month, its got more features than you'd expect. Comfortable, not clunky, amazing feel on the buttons. Super long battery life I’ve only charged it once. Highly recommend if you need an outdoorsy or active lifestyle watch.

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.

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%.

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.
