Watch is great. Not as white as it looks in pictures unfort. Haven’t been able to get accurate tides on it yet but lots of features. Delivery was super quick crazy quick

This watch is many in a collection but has not been taken off since it’s been brought tracks everything you could think off and everything you didn’t even know you could track. This has really helped with my lifestyle and fitness goals to stay on track along with a ridiculous battery life which lasts for weeks.

Takes 10 minutes to set up. Very light for a watch this size. Lots of exercise options.
Bought 2 as the first one delivered was a set of wooden sofa legs – Amazon and Klana sorting the refund out. Order picker off for an eye test.

Love this Garmin watch. After 2 weeks of using this watch every day for running, swimming, strength, etc. I can say this is a great fitness watch. The battery holds for around 20-28 days – depending on your GPS, notification, brightness, etc. settings. Do not forget to download the Connect app to view your stats! You will also need to update your watch software before the 1st use.

Replaced a Fitbit with this over GPS issues.
Haven’t looked back. Everything is accurate and it makes you forget about the thing on your wrist until you want to look. Unobtrusive and a good watch first.

Can’t believe it does so much for the price, you name it this garmin does it, Sea & pool swim, bike, triathlon, kayak, yoga….. it just does everything I need and more. Text is a bit small for my eyes but overall grea

5.0 out of 5 stars A bargain in the garmin range

Although I am quite satisfied with the watch overall , I am disappointed of the battery. It doesn’t charge on any light, only outdoors sunlight. It goes off in the middle of the battle. You’ve gotta keep it charged.

Die Uhr ist sehr wertig gefertigt. Die Funktionen sind ber das Men auf der Uhr leicht erreichbar und bersichtlich abrufbar.
Messungen werden, soweit berprfbar, genau durchgefhrt und ergeben logische Werte.
Die Laufzeit von bis zu 40 Tagen ist nicht bertrieben aber das schafft sie nur wenn keine Sttigungsmessungen durchgefhrt werden. Ansonsten kommt es natrlich auf die gemessenen Sportleistungen an.

Non riesco a capire come riesca a fare cosi’ tanto consumando cosi’ poca carica. Anche adesso che siamo in tardo autunno e con insolazione minima non ho ancora avuto bisogno di fare una ricarica con il cavo in dotazione.

Fa il suo lavoro, e lo fa bene.

He tenido todos los instinct, me compre el uno porque buscaba un buen reloj inteligente para controlar los kilmetros que hago al correr pero no quera tener que estar cargndolo cada dos por tres y la pantalla del instinct me era suficiente.

Esta gama de relojes es una maravilla, funcionan muy bien, son duros como un muro, la batera dura bastante y tienen mas funciones que el reloj de james bond, nunca me arrepent de comprarlo y si sale un instinct 3 seguramente lo compre tambin.

Del 2X decir que lo de la linterna mola un montn sobretodo para acampadas, que es el motivo por el que me cambi a este, por lo dems, igual de bueno que el instinct 2. No recomiendo especficamente el 2X pero s recomiendo el garmin instinct, cualquiera de los 3 es una buena eleccin especialmente el 2 por lo de poder pagar con el que a mi en lo personal me encanta.

No lo cambiaría por nada

Lots of fitness advice. Sleep feature is especially interesting. I’m a 5 foot petite lady and it sits comfortably on my wrist. The pink/red strap is quite attractive.
Initially it’s easy to use, so many features. I’m working on using the more complex features.

I had a garmin 405 before this and still have and use it, but this one is up a good few levels. the info available on it is brilliant. I bought mostly for my running but that has been curtailed for a while. The accuracy of time and all info is very very good. Morning reports weather etc (more reliable than local weather forecasts) Heart rate, lap time, safety tracking, track back onyourself everything i need love it and Highly reccomend.

Ottimo prodotto come robustezza e durata della batteria, praticamente con ricarica solare potenzialmente infinita.ulteriore miglioramento la dimensione della cassa passata ora a 50 mm, pi leggibile. Aggiunta anche della torcia, molto utile.

Excellent for what I need, all the tracking of sports I do and is comfortable and smart. I had a solar watch previously that never needed charging so went for solar this time. For the extra cost I wouldn’t say the decision has been good value, I am still having to charge overnight at least once a fortnight/ 3 weeks so might as well have not bought the solar version. Very happy otherwise

Acquistato la versione 2X Solar graphite dopo aver precedentemente comprato la versione 2X Solar tactical coyote tan; quest’ultimo, premetto, davvero un colore bellissimo ma ahim “limitato” nell’abbinamento cromatico, a mio giudizio, qualora si decidesse di cambiare il cinturino optando per un altro colore. Perci ho virato sul classico, il graphite (che NON nero, sia chiaro, bens un colore simil “mina della matita” per farvi capire) non stanca,non stona e si abbina praticamente con tutto. Anche la cornice che circonda il display, che tende ad una sfumatura rossastra per via del pannello solare montato sotto la scocca, passa in secondo pianonel senso che risalta poco e stona decisamente meno nel graphite rispetto al coyote tan, dove invece era quasi un pugno nell’occhio sempre per un discorso di abbinamento cromatico tra quest’ultima e il colore principale dell’orologio. In ogni caso, nell’immagine che ho postato, ci si pu comunque fare un’idea riguardo a quanto appena descritto. Fatte le dovute precisazioni passiamo a sottolineare quanto ne sia eimast(nuovamente) soddisfatto! Dimensioni imponenti, i 50mm si vedono tutti; ci nonostante l’orologio risulta leggerissimo, tanto che indossato la notte quasi non lo so avverte. Esteticamente parlando amo le sue finiture rugged stile g-shock di Casio, il display transflettivo in bianco e nero si vede bene in ogni condizione di luce (ovviamente la sera se ci si trova in zone poche illuminate bisogna avvalersi della sua retroilluminazione, attivabile semplicemente pigiando il tasto in alto a sinistra, ma mi pare scontata come cosa). Autonomia che ve lo dico a fare, con tutto attivo (tranne il rilevamento h24 dell’ossigenazione del sangue) la batteria cala di 2-3 punti percentuali che corrispondono ad un giorno di autonomia, ergo i 40gg dichiarati non sembrano affatto in miraggioe poi c’ la ricarica solare che da una mano, anche se dovreste stare almeno dalle 3 alle 5 ore al giorno all’aperto per giovare a pieno dei risultati di questa funzione. Per il resto, rilevazioni precise, ha tutto (e di pi) si ci che uno sporitt/amante delle escursioni all’aria aperta possa chiedere.
Assolutamente consigliato, se le vostre tasche ve lo permettono a mio giudizio il gioco vale la candela. Se avete il polso piccolo o volete qualcosa di meno “ingombrante” potete sempre virare sulla versione 2 Solar che misura 5mm in meno, risparmiando in contemporanea qualche soldino.
Servizio Amazon impeccabile come sempre!

Perfetto

The watch works really well, and has a lot of features that I’m still finding.
The only reason I’ve removed a star is the brightness of the display. I read other reviews mentioning this, and thought I could live with it ( and I can) , but it really isn’t readable in low light, even with the backlight. I can always read it by moving to a brighter area or using my phone torch, so it’s not anything that would change my decision to buy this watch. It is enough to be an annoyance.

Ich hatte zuvor die Instinct der ersten Generation in der Tactical-Version, die etliche Jahre durch allerhand Situationen ein starker Begleiter war. Da ich die Tactical Features nicht mehr bentige, habe ich mich als Nachfolger fr die normale Variante entschieden.
Alle Grundfunktionen sind nahezu identisch zur ersten Generation. Wer also eine alte Instinct hat, die noch gut arbeitet und nicht unbedingt das Solar-Feature braucht, muss auch kein Upgrade kaufen.
Hinzukommen noch etliche Leckerbissen, die meist aber nur Verbesserungen im Detail sind. Der App-Shop mit neuen Oberflchen und allerhand neuen Apps (Tachymeter, Blitz-/Donner-Rechner und viele andere tolle Dinge) sind ein klares Pro!

Einen Stern Abzug gibt es fr das Display. Im direkten Vergleich mit der alten Uhr (die wohlgemerkt kleiner ist), ist das Display schlechter ablesbar. In Lichtbedingungen, die nicht optimal sind (bspw. Dmmerung, gedmmtes Licht, Schatten), ist oft der Griff zur Beleuchtungs-Taste unausweichlich. Das ist sehr schade, denn somit ist manchmal ein schneller Blick auf die Uhr eben nicht genug, um die ntigen Daten zu erhalten (bspw. die Zeit).

Sonst die wirklich beste Instinct, die es bislang gab!

I had Garmin Instict Solar for 2 years and I was very happy with that watch. Never thought of changing it until I saw the new 2X Solar.
Main facts that the 2X feels like a major upgrade against 1 Solar:
1) Solar charging: Is significantly improved
2) HR sensor and Multiband-GPS. HR sensor is more accurate and as for GPS: finally I have accurate elevation data and accurate GPS when swimming.
3) Garmin Pay with NFC!
4) Torch! yes it’s veeery handy
5) Software tweaks. It has IQ support which means no more effort transfering routes from komoot, strava and AllTrails to the watch. It’s a piece of cake now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrade from Garmin Instict Sola

Non ho potuto ancora testare tutte le funzionalit dell’orologio perch sono veramente tante…
Visibilit del quadrante con ogni tipo di illuminazione perfetta…
La durata della batteria non illimitata e il pannello solare utile solo se si sta parecchio all’aperto…
Scarsa disponibilit di quadranti alternativi sul sito garmin…

Nei parametri proposti da Amazon c’ anche “schermo touch”, va detto che lo smartwatch funziona solo con tasti fisici. Ho seguito tutta l’evoluzione della serie Instinct e devo dire che quest’ultimo upgrade mi piace proprio tanto. Garmin mi ha sempre abituato ad aggiornamenti non banali e devo dire che il passaggio a questo non estetico ma pratico. La batteria dura molto di pi e lo schermo pi grande rende perfetta la lettura dei dati in ogni condizione, la torcia molto funzionale la sera e complessivamente diventato una normale appendice del mio corpo, un booster per ogni attivit, sonno incluso. Inoltre il multi-band ha reso ancora pi precisi i rilevamenti quindi come potrei farne a meno?

So I bought the 2 non solar, no garmin pay on it, its bigger than the solar at 45 but not as big as the 2x. I had a fenix x pro but I sold it , I found it too heavy to wear with its steel case and heavy amoled display and I wasnt using all the features. I sold the fenix and got the instinct 2 its battery life is way longer and it does what I need, tracks routes via gps it has glonass and galileo. There is no mapping on it but I can use my phone for that which I only need ocassionally.
I also dont need garmin pay, its clunky requiring pin numbers etc. I can use my phone anyway so no biggie.
Its light and easy to wear with gshock type styling.

Excellent product. Takes a little while to learn the settings…. but nice quality. Instructions could do with a little improvement but OK. Charge cable is USB C so if you have mostly USB A then a good idea to get an C to A Adapter as well. Overall very nice product with all the added advantages of a smartwatch for use outdoors…

Ich bin von der Instinct Solar auf die Instinct 2x Solar umgestiegen. Schon beim ersten Blick ist die Verarbeitung beim Sensor an der Unterseite besser und auch so macht die Uhr wieder einen sehr guten Eindruck. Das Display ist grer, aber geht immernoch gut fr dnne Frauenarme. Man muss halt sportliche Klopperuhren mgen. Zur Haltbarkeit des Akkus kann ich noch nicht viel sagen, da ich noch vieles am testen bin und noch keine lngere Aktivitten hatte. Das tauschbare Display ist fr mich ein neues Highlight und funktioniert super ber den Garminshop. GPS findet die Uhr sehr schnell. Dort hatte die Instinct Solar fters ihre Probleme. Auch die ganzen zustzlichen Infos in der Uhr wie Schlaf, Atmung oder letzte Aktivitt usw finde ich klasse und man muss nicht dauernd in die App schauen. Schon deswegen hat sich der Umstieg gelohnt. Also ich bin bis jetzt rund um zu frieden und kann Garmin im Allgemeinen immer weiter empfehlen. Ist auch schon mein 3. Fitnetracker von Garmin und keiner hat mich bis jetzt enttuscht.

I walk, bike and run, the running is getting much better and farther but I am certainly no gazelle !!

I had been using Strava on my phone for years even though my work colleagues and friends all had flash watches i stuck to my analogue automatic Seiko.

That watch started to lose time and I did some research – I’m an Apple boy at heart but just couldn’t square away the price and battery life against what I actually needed (I’m no explorer).

I plumbed for this one and have not been disappointed. It’s easy to use and the supporting App (which is key to me) feels very accessible and I am still to really use it to its full.

Battery life is in weeks rather than days, illumination excellent, comfortable and I like the colour – not as striking as stainless steel (my preference) but it’s growing on me.

Perfectly happy with black and white and not colour and I don’t need to see a map on my wrist either so it’s met my requirements.

Couldn’t be happier with the watch itself – the measurements and customisations are fantastic and the watch is much lighter than expected for its size.
Just be careful with the Amazon pricing, as they seem to be constantly changing the prices of the different colour watches – don’t know why they can’t just be standard when the only difference is the colour(apart from the tactical version).

Had the original Instinct for the last two years and it was the best smartwatch/sports watch I’d used. Loved it but it was starting to show its limitations.
My GF bought me the Instinct 2 Solar for my birthday and I couldn’t believe how much it’s been improved upon.
1. The screen has better resolution and has far more faces to choose from, including from Connect IQ. That said I used an online face maker to create my own with 13 different data fields.
2. Battery life. A huge improvement over the first one. And that solar panel really does come into its own when you’re outdoors. Sat in the sun on holiday watching the football and my battery actually rose. It really does charge the watch. To be used as more of an aid than the only way to charge but it all helps to extend the already amazing battery.
3. A lot more data/health reading with Vo2 Max included. HRV status and respiration added to your daily data.
4. Garmin Pay now included. While there aren’t many UK banks that support it, you can open a Curve account for free, add your credit card to it and Garmin will accept the Curve card details. Pay with your watch? How cool is that!

I use this watch as a smartwatch firstly and it does all that you’d expect, notifications (and replies with pre-written templates), music control, solar intensity readings weather alerts, alarms, etc. As a sports watch I use it to broadcast HR to my Garmin Edge 130, and collate all health info to Garmin Connect. It’s already reading my physical fitness age and is setting fitness goals from my cycling.

The build quality is everything you’d expect from Garmin, solid.

I’m still only just touching the surface of what this watch can do but so far it’s impressing the hell out of me.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like your Instincts, you'll love this.
