Love this watch and needed upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hello hello. I am upgrading from a 2018 Forerunner 225 and the feature upgrade is insane. I am able to do a lot more customization with the IQ store. I love the solar aspect of it coupled with the battery saving options.

Best watch I ever had
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this watch. It has all the features of a smartwatch without the colored screen. It is very easy to get used to this system. The battery life is incredible good giving me more than 20 days. I track all my work outs. I work outside so the solar charge is a plus. I configured the screen with all the info I need. Im very happy and I dont have to worry about charging my watch everyday.

Great item!! Customer support lacking.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, LOVE the watch thus far!! The service or lack thereof at the store I went to was horrible. Myself and another customer literally stood at the watch case for and extended period of time. Each of us asking for help and being brushed off. The other customer left without purchasing, but I stayed. Please hire more staff to help customers, especially for items that are locked up. As far as the watch, it's been great! I love all the features and all the data that is collected while wearing this! It's helped me far more than I thought it would. I haven't had too mucb of an opportunity to test the solar charging aspect as the weather hasn't permitted, but so far, it seems to hold a charge pretty great. I do not have my text/call notifications on for the watch, so that may help with battery life.

Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The updated screen is easy to read and functional. Battery life is amazing, especially if you take advantage of the solar charging by being outside. More available functions and workout/activity tracking are all awesome!

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this watch for a couple months now and it does everything I want and more. I switched from a galaxy watch because I wanted something more rugged and I hated having to charge my watch every night. I've only had to charge it once since I've gotten it. Seriously recommend.

Best smartwatch I've had so far!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Cool look Good Battery Mediocre activity tracker.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Instinct Solar II has great battery lufe but won't charge wirelessly in my charger. The Garmin software does not count stair ascents/descents well and does not do total elevation.

Simple, month battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent watch. Give you all the features of a fenix but at half the price. Very responsive and solar charging give up to infinite battery life. Gps is accurate as it work in dense forest. I ended up returning this for the Garmin instinct 2x , for it larger display and battery.

Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have really enjoyed this watch. It seems way more durable than the one from another brand I replaced it for. The battery life has been amazing. I'm getting about 2 full weeks on a single charge and hope this will increase when I get outside more. My only real complaint is that I feel like I have to have it really tight on my wrist to get accurate heart rate readings.

Instinct for the Win!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this watch! I’ve had it for almost two years now, and it’s incredible. Not the flashiest of things but it’s solid. I’ve worn it everyday no matter the location or weather and it barely shows its age. Great for those who want something smart, simple, and durable. Battery life sits at roughly 30 days if you’re just using it for basic tracking. Workouts, gps use, etc., will drop that a bit. Only recommendation I have is to purchase a different band for it, the original isn’t the most comfortable. I would 100% recommend this watch.

Great first smart watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never owned a smart watch, I feel this is a great place to start. The price was reasonable, stays charged for days and provides exactly what I was looking for to support training in various activities.

Durable and Long Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 3rd Instinct Watch I've owned and all of them have been great. The watch battery life on a normal charge is about 30 Days and is the most durable smart watch I've owned. The only real downside to it is functions are somewhat more limited compared to most but the reliability makes up for it.

Great if you want it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great if you know what you want. If you go into this thinking it's going to be a touchscreen smartwatch with a sexy bright screen you'll be let down. But if you use Garmin's Which Watch tool online and landed on this model, then you will be happy. Battery life is super high (like forever if you don't use GPS tracking), I have bashed it all over building a community park and it looks great, it's water safe for when I live into my commitment to start swimming, and the Garmin Connect app-verse is just better than what Google has turned Fitbit into. It's great.
