Amazing Rugged Watch
I've had this watch for about a month now and could not be happier. I've come from multiple Samsung smart watches that all fell short when it came to workout and activity tracking. I've always been a fan of Casio G-Shock watches due to their durability and ruggedness. This watch combines the ruggedness and some smart watch features in one. I get all the Garmin features and smartwatch features. I get all my notifications on this watch. The battery life is amazing as well. I get almost a month of charge on this watch. Only downside is that I can't generate text messages from the watch. There is a quick reply feature but I can't generate one. All in all this watch has everything I need.

Garmin Instinct 2x Tactical Review
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.

Practical and Tactical, packed with features!
At first i wasn't sure what to think about the watch. The watch face and layout was excellent from the very start. As i started to become more and more familiar. I started to like the watch more and more. Then once i learned how to operate all the buttons and figured out all of the features. This watch has turned into the best watch i ve ever had! Definitely a very nice buy, and money well spent! Since being in the military i ve experienced some hearing lost. This Garmin has actually Complimented use of my phone. Often times i cant hear my phone ringing or even vibrating in my back pocket. Once theres a notification I immediately know from the vibration of the watch. I can quickly read the notification accept phone calls and even respond to messages quickly without even using my phone. You're not actually able to talk from the watch, but only able accept a call, from the watch. Then once you have accepted a call you have an extra few seconds to grab your phone to talk. When you have received a message notification you're able to quickly respond with a preselected quick message. Works nicely when you're driving or in a meeting. So my over all rating is five stars! If Garmin ever makes a model that you can use as a speak and listen phone communication. It would get 10 stars from me. Better lookout Samsung and Apple!
