Garmin vs. others
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Awesome watch please read!!!!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I have had fitbits, and the most recent samsung galaxy watch4 active. And i have to say i was skeptical to move over from the watch 4 to a garmin, and im glad i did. The samsung watch is a great watch no doubt. But as far as FITNESS the garmin instinct 2 is a game changer. The app is awesome. The watch has so much functionality and its very accurate and easy to wear its not bulk not crazy heavy. I highly recommend this watch !!
