The watch has some good features however, the watched faced seized up and would not unlock and change features. Glad I did not use this watch for a through hike or any activity I would have depended on it.

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar
My first “smart” watch, Gen Xer, and after a bit of research I’m so happy with choosing Garmin! I looked at a few other name brands and they have the watch that I was looking for. Very easy to use, hardly needs to charge with the solar capability, not pretentiously large, great app, tech that pertains to me and skips the noise - oh and military grade rugged. I upload the health metrics to ai and it helps me to stay on track. I’ve been using now for just under a month and I’m very happy with my purchase.

New watch instinct 2 s solar
Replaced a first gen Instinct. So Many new performance metrics! Also can do heart rate during a swim. Only quibble is the short wrist strap so I’m going to have to purchase a longer one
Customer review from Garmin
Very disappointed
Very difficult to set up. The watch kept resetting and I couldn’t get past setting up Garmin pay which I did not want to do. Also the band is too small for a male with a 7” wrist. I returned this after struggling with it for 2 hours.

Very useful
I've used both a Samsung smartwatch as well as a Fitbit. I find the Garmin Instinct the best I've used so far. I like the no frill appearance and the plethora of information on the watch face. I trust the information accumulated because it is a Garmin. If I had to give one criticism, it woyld be the lack of colorful nonsilicone replacement bands.

Motivation plus!
I could not be happier with my purchase over 3 years ago; the Garmin Instinct S2 Solar! Awesome technology, every activity at your fingertips and the ability to create a manual workout. Looking back at weight, miles I have run or walked, weight training etcetera, has motivated me to achieve every goal and more! I was hesitant to purchase since I am a petite female, 67 years young. My fitness age is down to 58.5, per Garmin watch app. Best decision ever to buy!

Inaccurate heart rate for treadmill mode
Love the design and look. But two fatal flaws: 1) heart rate can be very unreliable for treadmill mode. I know my approximate hr from previous Apple Watch data. My range for a mid-effort run is 140-170 but Garmin would give me a constant 100, or even 70-80 for treadmill. I could use run mode to get an hr closer to reality, but that's not optimal because run is supposed for outdoor 2) the watch strap that comes with the watch is not breathable. It gets uncomfortable after a long run or wearing it to sleep after a few nights. Have to spend extra for a better band. (Also, sometimes the watch couldn't detect sleep data. But that's a smaller issue compared to the two major flaws)

Great watch and great support
i've had this watch for a years and used it to its full potential. finally cracked the screen after years of daily use and Garmin sent a new watch immediately and let me use my cracked one until i recieved the new one. once i recieved the new one i sent the cracked one to them and the process was seamless.
