Almost owning this watch for a year now and I've had no complaints! Even though I am a aviation mechanic constantly accidentally getting the watch hit by different items and even airframe parts scrapping against the glass. It still has not gotten a noticeable scratch. The light helps immensely when you need it most. Weather is mostly accurate and it's GPS is too. Along with of course your step counter. The battery can last months! Typically it lasts a whole month before I need to charge it. If your working in the sun congratulations! You'r charging the watch standing in the sun! It is a perfect watch for mechanics, military members, or any labor related jobs. You will not regret getting it!

Excellent functionality, great price, with many apps to use, long-lasting battery, easy to use and durable!!!

Watch is great especially the charge on it it definitely lasts a long charge. The light on it makes things at night or in the dark a lot easier to see

I'm still running off of the initial charge and some sunlight! I switched to this from the apple ultra 2 which was a great watch and was the last thing to keep me in the iPhone ecosphere but after switching to Android this made up for it (in the way that a minimalist would desire). I'm able to check my time, weather, sleep, steps and receive notifications while my phone is out of hands reach. Simple stuff:) One thing that I am skeptical about however is the accuracy of the step counter. Heart rate and sleep seem to be accurate though .

The Garmin Instinct 2x tactical is an all around good watch with lots of great features and exceptional battery life. In spite of this, I believe it is a bit too costly for what the watch it includes. I returned this watch after a few days of wearing it because other watches possess the same health features for a fraction of the price. Despite this, the instinct 2x is an outdoorsman watch. The features it does possess are exceptional. However, I believe it needs to shave off an additional $100-150 to be worth purchasing for people who go outdoors maybe every other week.
