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.

Not for me

Love the battery life, dislike the user interface. Probably more of a me problem than an it problem but I’m pretty spoiled by the Iwatch user interface which is much more user friendly.

Smartest + Durable...est

Smartest watch I've ever owned. I sell them where I work, but I had no idea how I would come to appreciate it in my everyday life. I previously had the Google Pixel Watch 2, and the OS was kind of crammed full of useless features. The instinct 2 lets me know how hard I should go in the gym depending on how my sleep or day was. Crazy good. My last watch stopped working because I dove too deep for too long in a Florida spring and I am confident that won't happen with this one.

Great device for the money

I got this watch about a month ago. It has great battery life for general use. It is durable and I really like the basic display. Navigating the buttons and menu is a bit of a challenge but I am still figuring it out. I recommend it for anyone who wants to track basic activity without too many flashy options and displays.

No Bluetooth to Phone

I bought the watch about 2 weeks ago. I was really excited to try it out. However, even after trying all troubleshooting options, the watch would not pair with my phone. I am very very disappointed!!!

Garmin instinct solar

I’ve had this about a month now and love everything it does. Owned a Fitbit before this and it does take getting use to using buttons instead of watch face but it’s great! I don’t see myself getting anything but garmin now.
