Garmin Instinct 2 in the smaller size is very user friendly and the size is great for smaller wrists. Coupled with the Garmin Connect app, you receive a ton of biometric information that is very helpful within training cycles.

I purchased this watch to track my running while working in Antarctica. The gps tracking is spot on! While running a marathon it tracked the milage to 26.1 miles, only a tenth off. A couple thing I do not like is it can be confusing to navigate the screen options. I almost always need to google how to reset the time when crossing time zones. The heart rate monitor works well when resting but for more strenuous exercising, such as running, it always seems to be reading high. Overall, for the price it is a solid option for tracking you running distance if you are not too concerned with heart rate.

I've been loving my Garmin. It gives me so much information and details. Several folks on my crew have the same watch or a different Garmin.

It's much better than my previous Garmin watch (Forerunner 645 music). The display is clearer, more condensed and there are more customizable display options. The battery life is much longer, the navigation (GLONASS) is better for mountainous terrain and it offers more features for analysis.

Very Much in Line with Garmin Quality, Be Purposeful on this Size

This watch has been exactly what I hoped it would be. I was looking for primarily a fitness tracker, and wanted something small enough to leave on and track sleep. It has been great that way, and measures and performs flawlessly. I would just caution anyone that is looking at this watch to be cognizant of the size. It is much smaller than the Instinct 2, and as a result, a bit more difficult to read. for me, the size was a priority, but that is something to be aware of . Final statement => Great performance!

I received this watch for Christmas. I love the battery life, which is much more than the Forerunner 35 I had. I love how it gives me a better understanding of my body with 24/7 health monitoring. There's a lot of features that I'm still learning. This watch is tough and rugged, perfect for any adventure!
