5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing watch

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.

Best tracker, fitness product I’ve owned. Garmin’s app leaves Fitbit etc for dead in terms of the stats and info you get. This watch is like a hybrid between a Casio G-Shock and the best fitness tracker imaginable with GPS in built. I love this, in part because I hate the “iWatch” etc.

I’ve had this watch for over a month and used it everyday. Love it. I’ve used it for walking in snowdonia, running outside, on treadmill, golf and used it for daily metrix. Can’t fault it. The battery life is fanominal but if you’re tracking on GPS it goes through the battery much quicker. Appreciate that will be obvious to most. Easy to use, setup and I like the size/look of the watch (chunky without being massive!). I’d definitely recommend.

Looks smart, a but more robust looking than my garmin 235. Seems value for money and I can actually put all my workouts on it; swim run bike hike gym etc.

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.

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?

Having been using daily since purchase and battery still on 30days, it’s great not to carry extra charging cables, fitnes tracking is good , been used for swimming and cycling tracking is on par with other devices

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 a couple of days and wow what an upgrade. The solar works well, woke up this morning and said 28 days left. Been in garden and went for a walk, when I got back in it said 29 days left!! Always on display is a massive plus with the instincts, feels like a normal casio watch but does absolutely everything!! With this watch it’s impossible to get lost!! Can save a location on the spot then later navigate back to it, ideal in cities as well as on treks. Can fault absolutely, nothing it’s superb. Looks like a regular watch but it’s a power house of features. 29 days left of power, let that sink in a moment. Could charge it and go on a two week holiday and it’ll charge off sun while out there!l adding a day or two here and there, unstoppable. They’ve got a life expectancy of about 7 years before battery needs replacing by that time you’ll be ordering the instinct 6 cause you’ll probably never want anything else

5.0 out of 5 stars Wowse

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.
