    Awesome watch, does everything I need and 50 other things on top of that. I do a ton of hiking/backpacking. You name it, this watch can handle abuse of the weather, it’s great. 10/10 would buy another!

    Upgraded from Instinct 1

    This was on sale so I upgraded from my old Instinct 1 to the Instinct 2. Does everything I need and still plugs into a computer to upload data (if you wish). I used to have fitbit but they removed the ability to use it with a computer. This one also has pulseox which the original Instinct did not. Very pleased.

    Great smartwatch. I really dont need or want a touch screen and the battery life is awsome so far. Practically a month's worth of power for 2 hours of charging.

    Great watch. Big upgrade from the original Instinct. Rugged and lots of features for hiking / biking and an assortment of activities. No brainer if you haven’t decided of something within budget.

    The garmin instinct || is great for a person who is active. It has a lot of features, from keeping track of heartbeat and even climbing stairs. Only thing I would like is to be able to at least respond back to a text message. That would come in handy if ur out in the middle of nowhere and have no cell service but u have your garmin watch with satellite service. So can send text to get help if you are in need or something like that.
