Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm still running off of the initial charge and some sunlight! I switched to this from the apple ultra 2 which was a great watch and was the last thing to keep me in the iPhone ecosphere but after switching to Android this made up for it (in the way that a minimalist would desire). I'm able to check my time, weather, sleep, steps and receive notifications while my phone is out of hands reach. Simple stuff:) One thing that I am skeptical about however is the accuracy of the step counter. Heart rate and sleep seem to be accurate though .

The Garmin Instinct 2x tactical is an all around good watch with lots of great features and exceptional battery life. In spite of this, I believe it is a bit too costly for what the watch it includes. I returned this watch after a few days of wearing it because other watches possess the same health features for a fraction of the price. Despite this, the instinct 2x is an outdoorsman watch. The features it does possess are exceptional. However, I believe it needs to shave off an additional $100-150 to be worth purchasing for people who go outdoors maybe every other week.

I've had this watch for about a month now and could not be happier. I've come from multiple Samsung smart watches that all fell short when it came to workout and activity tracking. I've always been a fan of Casio G-Shock watches due to their durability and ruggedness. This watch combines the ruggedness and some smart watch features in one. I get all the Garmin features and smartwatch features. I get all my notifications on this watch. The battery life is amazing as well. I get almost a month of charge on this watch. Only downside is that I can't generate text messages from the watch. There is a quick reply feature but I can't generate one. All in all this watch has everything I need.

It’s a Garmin and it shows with the quality. Went from Apple Watch to this. Wanted something to fit more of an adventure lifestyle and reduce the need for a charge all the time. Went from a 24-36hr charge cycle to upwards of a month with the Garmin. The solar aspect is nice but being the holiday season and winter I haven’t been outside as much to really test that benefit. Overall for what it is I am happy with the switch.

We have already purchased 2 of these for our boys who were track and field, cross country, Military College Cadets. They LOVE them. They are durable and definitely waterproof. They use them for swimming also! I do know that there always seems to be something wonky with recommending a day of rest often. But other than that the boys are enjoying all the features which take time to explore and figure out. This is A LOT of watch that with any luck will carry them into their military careers!

Used this watch for almost 2 months now and couldnt be happier. I upgraded from a samsung watch which cracked on the slightest impact against a wall. I love that the 2x solar is a health watch first and smart watch second. Most of the features offered by samsung and apple are a gimmick which I hardly ever used. I was also tired of charging the watch every other day. This watch can last between 20-30 days depending on the features enable. Im not scared to be rough with it at all. It has a thick bevel like a gshock watch. Also compared to the instinct 2 this watch is slightly bigger which I prefer.

Very practical, with many features for any activities, long lasting battery and the accuracy in really good in comparison with other smart products. I’m very happy with this watch it convine confort and price.

Love this watch, love the rugged look! I have only charged it once since I got it for XMas. Highly recommend you get your hands on one of these!

The watch’s features are intuitive and well-thought-out, but it took me a bit of time to fully explore everything it could do. Once I got the hang of the buttons and discovered its full range of capabilities, this watch quickly became an indispensable tool. It’s now my favorite smartwatch, hands down. The value you get for the price makes it a worthwhile investment.

Just picked this up recently after trading in my Apple Watch Ultra. Wish I had done this years ago. This watch is awesome. Does everything I need and then some, plus the battery lasts longer then 1-2 days and I don’t have to pay for a monthly cell plan.

Love this watch. I was slow to the smart watch party, . This watch Let's me stay up-to-date with all of my garmin gear. I mainly use it for deep sea fishing. Let's me stay connected with land, using my garmin gpsmap 86sci. I also use the track me feature for another safety measure when I am out in the ocean. It also allows me to check tides.

Watch works amazing especially in the outdoors, worth the buy

Excellent! Torch is a huge PLUS! At least with this watch if you start a workout for the first time on a machine it'll ask you if it's calibrated correctly to what your machine has logged. You won't get that with an Apple Watch or the torch or the 30+ days of battery life with workouts every day. EPIX is good but the battery life can't compare to the 2X. Pretty screens aren't everything.

While the solar charging isn't as great as it might be, and it still doesn't play books, this watch is otherwise amazing, from all the stuff it does to its remarkable battery life. On its face from just the options that came with the watch I can tell when the sun will rise and set. I can track my run and my watch can get me back to my starting point in an unfamiliar place. The instruction manual is 126 pages long, and totally worth learning...

This is one of the best watches I have ever owned, durability like a G-Shock and functionality like a smartwatch. I love the added on features it has

I got this for my husband, who is an infantry officer in the army and a surfer, and it is absolutely perfect for him in the fields, at home, and in the water!

Great watch, great battery life with a ton of cool features, I have not gotten a chance to use most of them but have used the workout tracker and heartbeat monitor. The battery life estimate seems to be slightly off but overall happy with my purchase.

Great watch. Does everything you needed to do plus more. Really happy with the purchase and covered under best. Buy warranty if you're part of the program.

I've been using it for a year, it's a great watch, it holds a charge well for over 40 days, I'm incredibly happy with this purchase!

Great tough watch with an excellent battery! Lots of smart features to boot!
