Best smartwatch I've had so far!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Absolutely loving my upgrade from Instinct Solar! Especially love that my watch has month long battery life, with potentially unlimited battery life if it gets enough solar charge daily! Keep up the good work Garmin!

Great buy!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This watch does it all. Especially not having to charge it everyday like my old Apple Watch is a major plus. Thought it would be too big for a girl but nope fits great. Even if your not “outdoorsy” and are just trying to get some steps in ur workout this watch doesn’t disappoint .

Great Outdoor Watch
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Good rugged smart watch. I went through two Apple Watches that cracked due to active lifestyle. Needed a rugged watch for fitness. Fits the bill but has some limitations. Screen not so bright and not a touch screen so takes some time to learn all functions. The Garmin App is just as good as Apple Watch App.

Technologically impressive but too cumbersome
||Posted .Technologically speaking, the Garmin Instinct 2 is a marvelous device -- incredible breadth of features, capability, solar charging, lightweight, etc. The problem is that it is so cluttered with features that it is difficult to remember how to use it. After playing around with it for an hour or so, I was becoming semi-comfortable with navigating my way around the menus and options. But I quickly came to the realization that if I put the watch down for any period of time, when I returned to it, I was once again stumbling around the menus trying to remember how to do things. In short, this is a fantastic device that tries to cram too much into a small package. I will be returning this item.

Excellent watch.
||Posted .Excellent watch. It has more features than I know what to do with honesty. If you want a watch that has a TON of capability, this is for you. If you don’t need all the features, the price is a little steep. There are probably better options in the 150-200 range. This is an awesome watch.
