INSTINCT 2S REVIEW
on May 29, 2024
Posted by: Hammerhead27292
I have had the Instinct 2S for about 2 weeks now. I am pleased with it in every aspect. It would be nice if it has some color in the display, but other than that I have no suggestions. It is highly customizable to your personal tastes. I like that it is controlled by buttons rather than a touch display. This watch replaced Vivoactive 3 and you could often accidentally touch the face and go to sections accidentally. You could never take it off and put it in your pocket or it change all kinds of configurations. You give up a little bit or readability with the smaller face, but if you have a smaller wrist it fits better than the larger face watches. Overall I give it a 9-10 so far.

Very useful, some features don't work well

Most of the functions are useful and the connect graphs are helpful. Sleep doesn't register Rem, light, and awake well; but is a good estimate. There are too many categories for workouts and they repeat in multiple sections. The new connect dashboard is less useful than the one recently updated. It is a well fit, durable, and reliable watch. Most complaints are with the lack of ability fix records that are missing data; weight lifting tracking, type of yoga, and biking. Biking needs an extra purchase to gain necessary stats. If the old dashboard returned and the option to record Reps, Sets, and weight for Strength Training post session, it would be highly recommended.

My girlfriend surprised me with the instinct 2s. I really enjoy it. I think the perfect description I've found is "the smart watch for someone that doesn't want a smart watch." I really enjoy this thing.

I LOVE this watch

I bought this a few months ago. My last watch was a touchscreen and I don't miss that as much as I thought I would. The battery life is great. I would say I could probably go 2 weeks on a charge, but I typically charge it once a week. Great features. Syncs great with my Samsung phone.

Garmin is great

I used FitBit devices for years and Garmin blows them away. I haven't had the watch very long, but I'm impressed by the features that you get for not a lot more than you pay for a FitBit. I've had to replace my FitBits twice because they break when they get submerged in water, and I decided to go with something else. I'm glad that I did. I can't speak to how good the watch is over a long period of time; I've only had it for about a month, but so far, I'm impressed.

Sturdy and Reliable

I bought this watch almost a year ago. I wanted something I could wear while rock climbing that would be durable to track my exercise. It's been exceptional at what it does and the battery life is amazing compared to my old Fitbit. Also by this time after purchasing my old Fitbit, it had cracks in the screen.
