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.

Instinct 2 solar watch

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.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend

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.

Excellent watch that is quite versatile. Got it because it has the golf and health fitness features that I was looking for. It was on sale for a great price.
