Working well but not 5 star until I see how long it will take a charge. Garmin instinct before this would no longer charge after less than 1 year.

This is the best smart watch out there. I don't need a ton of apps I need it to work in the woods and outdoors. And it does! Solar charging while in the hills with no power is the best! Looks good as well!

Returned this watch. Would not connect to my phone

I am loving my Garmin! The sun isn't as intense as it could be so buying this item in Michigan may not have been entirely worth it, I do have to charge it every 4 days. And a little less if I am outdoors a lot, but it charges fast (plug in) and it's been a year and it did get a 2cm scratch, the band has been durable and the tracking went crazy in downtown Detroit pinged every tower it seemed. But overall a great watch to have!

Too many software issues, watch froze out of the box, There is a soft ware update to fix it but since the watch was frozen the patch couldn't be installed. I had to completly discharge the watch, then re charge it to work. Drops communication with the app for days then with out warning starts working again. I expected something better from Garmin

Solar works great. Toss up between apple watch ultra

Decent watch but feels like a Casio Ironmant. Plastic dominant. Returned and upgraded to Fenix 7

Great watch, wonderful would definetly recommend getting one for anyone

Honestly not a fan. Poor display, connection issues. and gimmicky solar power that doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Terrible products. I have a few models and you only get about a year out of it before the HR tracker occasionally stops working. Will be returning and not buying Garmin anymore.

Heart monitor sucks, I had three different Garmin watches and they all had issues with heart monitor

Purchased this for our son in the army and it has quit working. I am hoping I can return it when I get back from seeing him next week.

Waste of money Cant see anything on the screen ill go blind trying to read the text. Solar option is a joke it doesnt charge the battery at all. Went a got the series 8 watch aint ever gone leave apple just a quality piece compared to this

I am learning the watch, it is very flexible & does a ton of functions. Many I’ll never use but it does well what I wanted it to do. It does a great job monitoring my running. Very importantly it has a 25+ day battery and solar backup. It is easy to read & allows me to see at a glance the info I want. I last had a garmin vivoactive 3 & it does some things this watch doesn’t. The vivoactive had a touch screen: the instinct 2 doesn’t. That means I have to search for a button to make the screen light. The instinct is bigger but that flaw is minor compared to the extended battery length. Overall I am ver pleased with the watch.

Was looking for some fitness watch with longer battery life, its been over an month, battery lasts upto 15 days, No bright display means no strain for eyes. Enjoying the watch.

Does everything you would need from a GPS watch! Great battery life as well and accurate measurements.

Everybody is giving out five stars these days. I think this is a genuine four. Would I buy this watch again? Absolutely! It works for my needs and looks cool at the same time. Do I wish it had more features like a touch screen or onboard music storage? Sure! But, Garmin sells those watches at a higher price point. The watch and app are a nice combo, although getting them to sync is a bit slow at times - but again, for the price point, this is a pretty capable, cool looking watch. I'm loving having it on runs and bike rides.

Excellent buy never going back to apple watches after this purchase.

Very awesome watch. The battery life makes it for me! lasts just about a month before I have to recharge. That's with no sun and not on power save mode.

Sick watch. It is a very nice watch that is comfortable and good looking. The about of features is insane and it is tubular.
