    Garmin vs. others

    Purchased new Amazfit T-Rex2, returned it for this which I purchased on 27Jun. Aside from the display (T-Rex is simply awesome) the Instinct 2 is a far better choice especially the ecosystem (Amazfit has a ways to go on that). You spend more on this watch than a lot of others out there BUT this watch is fantastic at what it does. I’ve also owned the Samsung 4 watch, the Fenix 6 & FitBit Charge 5. My opinion is that this new Instinct 2 is a best bet by far. Again my only negative would be the small font on the display, but my reasons for getting a watch like this isn’t just for the display, it’s mainly for solid functionality, and this one has that area covered very well. Not to mention it’s very rugged, so I can leave it on regardless of what I’m doing. The health snapshot, HRV and V02 Max is outstanding (very accurate not gimmicky). Lastly the watch lasts about 11 days when fully charged and SP02 is activated while sleeping which is really impressive in my experience. I only upgraded from the Fenix 6 because I wanted the latest and greatest sensors (that’s a great watch too). On my picture I included an area towards the top of the watch has a small bit of the plastic screensaver I bought on Amazon coming off a little. Good luck deciding, hope this helped.

    Accurate, no frills. Great battery life

    Absolutely love how this one is designed. Utilitarian, designed for adventure with a great battery life and all survival features. Of course it might be a bummer that it doesn't have Garmin pay and LED color display. But it also comes with a 14+ day battery life. The accuracy is above question. I don't think I'll need another watch for a long time now.

    Garmin smartwatch review

    My husband is a construction worker and he uses it for work. He loves it. He says its light weight, and that the battery charge lasts throughout his shift and it counts how many steps he took during the time he wore the watch. . He also likes the color as he's a picky kind of guy and prefers black color watches.
