My husband bought this for me a month ago and I haven’t taken it off since. It's very comfortable and light weight with so many different features.

Instinct 2s
on October 7, 2023
Posted by: $hart
Have had the watch for about 3 weeks battery life is good 21 days or so. garmin connect app makes it super easy to check health stats and pairs easy with other devices like the smart scale. Records sleep information also which the size of this watch is better for in my opinion. Larger models are not comfortable to sleep with. Wrist band could be a bit larger can only go to notch 4 which makes the second band strap not lock in past the last hole. Note I’m 37 year old guy @ 190-200 lb. Can always order a larger band just something to consider. I wear this at work and seem to hit it and scrape it on metal shelves and wood and I’m always surprised the screen has not been scratched or damaged. All in all good watch with plenty of features.

My Apple Watch died and I fancied a bit of an upgrade. Really great size for me, awesome 2 week + battery life!
A little bit of a learning curve to figure out all the features and personalise it, but over all chuffed to bits with it! üòÖ

I am loving this watch. There are an endless amount of options available with the Instinct 2. It is also very helpful to use the website to track and toggle activities.

Easy to setup

The 40mm watch strap is pretty small. I don't have big bones and it was on the limit. This can always be changed, but be aware when you buy it.
Despite the fact that I love the watch, I would recommend the 45 or the 50 mm
Pros:
- easy to set up with the Garmin phone app
- a lot of activity for data recording

Cons:

Excellent watch, rugged, comfortable and useful

So glad I bought this watch, Super comfortable, I wear it all the time, it’s a great size, and rugged enough to take any bumps or knocks. The battery life is amazing, I’ve found I’m only charging it every three weeks! The sleep tracking is great, it’s interesting to see the in-depth analysis and how it works to create a more personalised training plan, the more you wear it, the better it learns how to help you achieve your goals. Doing competitions with friends is a decent feature, and the level of customisation is really nice. If you’re considering this watch, go for it, it’s a awesome product!

I have been using the Garmin instinct for about 4 or 5 years now 4-5 days a week and have never had any problems with it. Excellent for tracking daily outdoor activates with an excellent battery life that has not diminished. Garmin products seem like a expensive purchase but the quality of the product will last you for many years would recommend to anybody.

Great product, insanely durable.

I only ever take this off when I shower and that's just to charge it. Only charging while showering keeps the watch charged all the time. I have worn it while rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving, etc for around 2 years. There are some scratches around the face on the plastic, but not a single scratch on the screen. I dove to 60+ ft with no issues at all. It's great for gps tracking and finding your way home. If you try to continuously track a multi day backpacking trip the battery will run out but I have tracked a marathon for 5 hours and had plenty of battery left at the end. Great product, I can't recommend it enough.
