Overall I'm happy with purchase. The interface is a little clunky and takes some getting used to, but after a few weeks I got it dialed. The battery regularly lasts for at least two weeks if I don't use the gps to track activities. With gps tracking on, the battery drains much quicker as expected. I think a full day of tracking would drain about 1/4 to 1/3 of the battery depending on what gps setting you use.

A very good watch with a ton of features great for its price
I mainly use it for skiing and biking it works very well in the cold.

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

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.
