It keeps track of everything i want. My wife’s i watch stays charged for a day and a half and this thing stays charged for weeks.

This is a great smart watch. I like that it doesn't have to be tight to the wrist to measure all the health data. I haven't worn any jewelry in decades so this is a change for me. The only complaint that I can make about it is that the documentation for the features and how to access them is not accurate. Reaching some of the relevant menu items does not work as easily in real time use as it does in the manual description. When looking for a specific feature in the manual you must make sure you are using the manual for the exact smart watch that you bought since the menus may be different for solar/non-solar watches in the same family. The watch is light. The band is adjustable in 1/4" increments so it should fit anyone in the size range. The display is excellent and all information can be customized so you can make it display those things that are important to you to know. I have had this for more than a month and have used it for various activities in the activity list and so far it has been useful tracking metrics for me. I use the Connect app from the Apple store and everything syncs perfectly and is easy to reference. The only issues I have found are related to coming up to speed with usage of the watch so it is all on me if I hit the wrong button while I learned how not to set up an activity. Battery life is great. I use it to track health metrics and get more than three days out of it before I pop it onto the charger. The cable could be longer and that would be great but it works so it is good enough. GPS use while doing an activity will decrease battery life quite a bit. there are multiple power management settings though so you can find one that works for your situation. Great watch! I would buy this for a friend or family member or I would consider other Garmin watches as gifts. Within their product line there should be a watch for just about anyone.

Replaced a Samsung Galaxy 4, amazed by battery life (13 days), amazing companion app, and style.

Nice watch that is built very durable, the solar feature really does extend the battery run time. However, I gave it 3 stars because it’s not designed to function with Apple iPhones. It disconnects every few days and I must manually connect using the phone app. This is still a problem after the firmware updates to the watch.

Great watch with long lasting battery charge.would recommend to anyone

Awesome all around do all watch! Love solar charging and everything else about the watch

This watch has a ton of really cool features. I was really impressed with all it can do, even climbing stairs. But to me, the most important feature of a watch is to be able to tell time. Now I am older so my eyes are not as powerful as they once were, but this watch face was extremely hard for me to see. It was a deal breaker and I returned it for the forerunner 965. DAY and NIGHT difference. The bold AMOLED screen was worth the extra cost.

Like the original Instinct but better screen resolution, improved battery life, and more smart features.

Nice watch; comfortable, updates quickly, great tool for geological topography, Kudos.

Great watch. Works good has many features. Good condition

Great watch! The charge lasts an extremely long time as well! Love it!

It was Xmass gift for my son -22 yrs old man. He is active person and it was perfect for him. Since he is so excited with Solar swatch, i am going to buy the similar one.

The watch is very useful and beautiful, a lot of helpful functions

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.

Nothing to complain about! Great ! D.

Works excellent, solar charging is very functional.

I wanted to get a watch that could be taken on camping and fishing trips yet be appropriate for work. This is that watch, great to wear to work, outdoors, and working out.

It’s a great watch. It’s light weight and has a phenomenal battery life.

Was hesitant to buy first smartwatch, but all is well since purchase.

this thing is fire. i use it on all my runs and ruck marches
