My first Garmin - Instinct 2 Solar
My wife bought this watch for me as an anniversary gift as my Fitbit charge 2 was more than 7 years old. I was reluctant at first, given that there is no touch screen, no color display and almost looks like a regular Casio. After a lot of whining, my wife persuaded me to try it for a week. Boy! What a watch! There are so many interesting features and health trackers that you will discover new ones every day. The best thing I like about this watch, is the ability to customize everything. From the items displayed on the watch face to the more intricate details of your weight, calories burnt etc, there a whole plethora of data waiting for you, all the while being easy to understand! The battery life of awesome, if you switch the pulse ox and gps to manual. I consistently get 30 days on a single charge with about 90 mins of charging. This is a no nonsense health tracker. Although I would have loved this to have the ecg, the heat monitor does a pretty good job as it lets you set thresholds. I use this for walks, swim, elliptical and treks and have been really amazed at what it can do. I don’t even feel the need for a color display or touch screen as I am now used to the controls, they are very intuitive. I recommend this watch for any health enthusiast as it can be a loyal companion in your fitness journey.

Love my garmin instinct 2. Highly recommend.
I was looking for a watch that is rugged, great battery life, light-weight, and connects with phone. It tracks workout stats, you choose from hundreds of exercises or create your own. Around 18 days of battery life! Looks great, feels great, checks off all of the boxes. I would highly recommend.

Great for Fitness and Outdoors, but Lacks Some Sma
I’ve had the Garmin Instinct Solar for a few months now, and it’s completely changed how I track my exercises and hikes. The battery life is impressive — I get close to a month on a single charge, which is perfect for long outdoor trips. However, when I turned on the high heart rate notification, the battery life dropped to about two weeks since it would go off 3–4 times a day. The fitness tracking features are top-notch, and it’s been really reliable overall. My only wish is that it had more “smartwatch” features, like the ability to text and take calls directly from the watch. Overall, it’s a great fitness-focused watch with incredible battery life.
