Small device that packs a punch

I never wanted a smart watch but now I am so glad I have this. The 2s is amazing. I like the small face because the display is clear, customizable, and accurate. The watch takes a beating each day I wear it and never blinks!

I got this as a Christmas present. A little more than I wanted. I had the little Vivosport 4 and loved it and knew all the features.

Best Watch Ever
on January 29, 2025
Posted by: Jay E
Genuinely the best watch I’ve ever used, including even other Garmins. Blows apple watch out of the water, and I like the compact size compared to some of the larger Garmins. Features are great, has everything you need for general health/lifestyle to actual training data. Expedition mode is great for multiple day hikes. Literally cannot recommend enough, I will wear this watch until it breaks, then buy the exact same thing.

I am really like all the data about my body, day, sleep, etc. that it gives me. Also, I have seen a lot of watches lately that are way oversized... I am glad this is not one of those.

Incredible value
on February 27, 2025

I bought this 3 weeks ago after making a decision to depart a different brand ecosystem that I had been a part of for nearly a decade. Best decision I have ever made!!
Let's start with the bad. My 1 star downgrade is actually due to the watch band, as after 2 weeks it did begin to cause a rash, and that's with my cleaning under it all daily, but I've since swapped to a nylon fabric band that I hope will solve this issue.
Now the good. The useability of this watch is amazing! The screen is always visible from the brightest sunlight to the darkest night. I really like the physical buttons as I've had trouble with the button free experience on other watches, particularly after a workout trying to end an exercise. The built-in GPS is wonderful allowing me to even break free from my phone for moments of uninterrupted focus. The app is overwhelming with data, I do wish there were a few more "guided" views to help a novice digest it all. But I will take the hit on me for not knowing about all those data points yet and am already understanding more about how to use them than I did at the start. All the other features from silent alarms, to countdown timers, to the stopwatch feature, are easily accessible, friendly to use, and provide reliable utility of sports watches that we've all come to rely on.
Looking forward to my journey with Garmin!

Kecewa
on March 10, 2025
Posted by: Iwan
Saya membeli garmin tahun lalu di Urban Republic MOG Malang, service center jauh dari lokasi tempat tinggal saya. Beberapa hari saya pakai saya mengalami step counter sangat tidak akurat. Krn service center jauh saya kesampingkan keluhan saya, desember 2024 saya mengalami maslah pada batrei, berkurang sangat cepat. instinct 2 di iklan bisa bertahan 2 minggu tp hanya bertahan beberapa hari saja. Akhirnya saya kirim ke service center TAM ternyata jam saya out garansi, jadi tidak bisa klaim garansinya.... kecewa banget nama besar garmin ternyata hanya seperti ini....

Best watch I ever owned

It has lots of features that are useful and easy to control, it's also not too bulky so pretty comfortable to wear while working outdoors.
