Too Small and too plastic
on March 22, 2022
Posted by: MarieK
I returned this watch. I was excited for a smaller watch but - other than the time- the secondary numbers were hard to read. The last thing I want is to stop a trail run or soccer game to squint for my numbers in real time. Plus, I have a Fenix 3- I know "obsolete"- and the quality of products and the look of the fenix 3 are a ton nicer! This one feels like a cheap version of a garmin. It is cheaper...I get that.

High-price average features
on November 23, 2022
Posted by: Z.Awan
The screen is so small that in low light you can't read anything except the time. Maybe it is because of my age. Many other watches have the same features but the price is less than half. Battery life is 2 to 3 days. The rubber band is very small. The only great thing is the GARMIN name.

No complaints. Great Quality
on January 14, 2024
Posted by: Just Rick
I have had it for a few weeks now and I am extremely impressed with it over all. Very good build quality, great features and functions, and excellent customization options. Super happy. The band was a bit too small, contacted them and they sent me a larger band free of charge! I was expecting to pay for it, and would have been happy to, but no need. Their CS rep was very quick to respond and I am 100% satisfied so far. I will buy more Garmin products for sure. It is nice to know how good their follow support is, and their products are great. Happy Customer for sure.

Not the watch for me.
on July 23, 2024
Posted by: NAPS
Ordered online. I'm medium wrist size and the band barely fit. (Yes i know I can buy a sized band but not the point) The display screen was visually challenging to see. If you don't wear contacts or have perfect vision, then look for another option. I wore it for one swim work out and appreciated the tracking. Returning and plan to purchase larger size in the Garmin family.

Best watch for outdoor enthusiast!
on November 24, 2024

I love the different features on my Garmin Instinct 2S - Camo Edition. First, the size is smaller enough to fit my female wrist yet big enough for me to clearly read the display. I love that I can choose my display to customize what I most want to see. It's fairly user-friendly, especially when you read the set-up instructions in the email! I love being able to sync it with my smartphone so that I can connect with other Garmin users, participate in challenges, and review my "At A Glance" tracking. I like tracking sleep, body battery, steps, hydration, heart rate, calories burned, and more! The main reason I purchased the Instinct 2S is because I am an endurance athlete with walking, rucking, and fitness. I was able to create a custom workout called SMR for my self-myofascial release with a massage stick and foam roller. I use the walk selection when I walk with my dog and I use the hike selection when I ruck with my dog (walking with a weighted rucksack). I can also select yoga for when I am stretching and strength training for when I lift weights. I also can select paddleboarding and swimming indoors or open water. This watch is also great in pouring down rain...I have no fear about getting it wet since it is water resistant to 100m (I think). Overall, I am super pleased with this Garmin watch and I've only had it a few weeks!

Hard to believe what this thing can do!

Does this thing have more tech than our first space ship! Keeps good heart rate, and the battery is the tops! (Oh, I just bought the solar S2. Just to have a backup)
