Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the Garmin Instinct® 2X Solar and it has been an exceptional addition to my gear. The solar charging feature ensures I never run out of battery, even on extended trips. The rugged build and water resistance make it ideal for all conditions. The built-in flashlight is a handy feature, and the comprehensive health monitoring and sports apps have been incredibly useful. This watch truly supports an active lifestyle and keeps me connected with smart notifications. Highly recommend for anyone seeking durability and functionality in a smartwatch.

This watch is the best smart watch I’ve ever had. The battery lasts forever, the watch can handle whatever environment I subject it to, and the precision it records my runs and cardio sessions is unmatchable. If you’re looking for a watch to get outdoors or simply excercise, this is it.

We were hit hard in my area by Helene, my house and most of the houses around me were wrecked. I can't overstate the value of having a flashlight on my device, it made so much more possible when there wasn't time to grab a light. Additionally, the battery stayed charged for over a week without power, it was the one device I didn't need to worry about charging. I had the time, date, day of week, and sunrise and sunset readily available all week and this was just invaluable to me and my family. It got wet, beat up and smashed, and it never stopped going. I rarely write reviews, but i had to share this. Thank you, Garmin, for making a product that functions as designed and better.

Upgraded from an original garmin instinct, this is great. I love the actual flashlight ut has not just a screen that lights up white. I also really like how it has the new sensors and give you basically all the features of the fenix 7x, if you dont care for a touchscreen or colored maps this is a much better value. The morning report is fantastic, this watch is a great tool for me. I like having an always on display that lasts for many days. The only drawback for me is I seem to get about half the battery life that is advertised, but I mostly attribute that to my information heavy watch face I like to use. But 13 or 14 days of battery life is still great.

Great watch with an incredible battery life and health tracking! No subscription necessary

My husband is very pleased with his new gift., even though he doesn’t like the small circle on the display because it cuts the messages. But overall, the performance and the battery life are amazing.

This watch is made for the everyday dad, It is kid, toddler and baby proof and can withstand more generations to come garmin has executed what it means to have a busy life made for the everyday joe or those who truly want something special. This watch is a great add for my fellow dad's and EDC compatriots it is made for dad's here or there it made for all dad's everywhere, high or low, mud dirt sand you will get through it all with a garmin on your hand.

To say that this product exceeds my expectations would be a gross understatement. This watch has everything you could ever want plus more. With its extended battery life and solar capabilities, I don’t have to worry about constantly having to charge it. It’s my first smart watch and I absolutely love it for every day use

Great quality smart watch I use it everyday and the battery lasts at least 15 days

Greatest watch I have ever owned. The battery life is amazing, the light comes in handy, and the ruggedness keeps it looking good. I’m a firefighter and highly recommend to any other firefighter out there that needs a great smartwatch.

I bought this watch for my husband. He absolutely loves it! The fact that he hardly ever needs to charge it with it being solar powered is amazing. He uses the flashlight mode on it regularly at work and it makes things super convenient working late at night sometimes. Now I’m wanting to sell my Apple Watch and get me a garmin watch too!

Its the spring and summer so I am getting all the sun needed to have this charged unlimited. Its very easy to navigate and easy to use. Very accurate. I am coming from a Fitbit Sense and I would never go back. I backpack and play outdoor sports, this is extremely durable. Highly recommend!

Very good watch. Battery is amazing and lasts up to 30 days with active training. Display is great. Watch looks very rugged and well built.

Top of the line Garmin features available in this watch. The flashlight and solar charging set this watch apart at the $350 price point. I am also a huge fan of the retro Gshock look. So far very satisfied with the purchase. Would have preferred a matching nylon strap option though.

I have charged this once in two months. Rugged design with just enough extras. The flashlight is one awesome tool ! I went from a fenix 6x sapphire to this and don’t regret it . I would highly recommend.

This watch functions as expected. A little bit heavy. The rubber watch band could be pulled too many times to get disconnected.
