Coming from Suunto, this interface was a little foreign to me but after checking out some online videos it became much easier. Super happy with this watch and love the metrics it tracks without being too frilly.

My Instinct 2 Solar is amazing

My Instinct 2 Solar has all the features and all the durability of my old Instinct Solar but includes all the great features that I enjoy from my Forerunner 945 like garmin pay and the triathlon sport app. Notifications are much quicker now too

We bought this for Blackfriday Christmad gifts so far way better than our old Suuntos GPS tracks very quickly. Super happy. The only issue is base color and swapping of bands not a great color mix palet available.

Great watch

8 months ago
I’ve had the Instinct 2 solar for a little over a year now and have been very happy with it. I’ve mostly used it as an everyday watch, to track runs and more recently to record hunts that involve lots of hiking and it’s done great for all. I really like how the gps tracks my routes and records distance that I would otherwise have no way to accurately measure. It froze once at around the one year mark and was a bit frustrating to get reset but once I did everything was back to normal. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase and have recommended it to friends. If I had to do it all over again I would still buy this exact watch, it’s a great product.

battery dies

8 months ago
Battery dies approximately 36 hours after socket charging whether left in sunlight thereafter or not. Very difficult, if not impossible , to obtain "terms and conditions" "agreement" as well as "Bazaarvoice Privacy Policy". So, what is up here? Are only those willing to agree to any thing and everything encouraged to submit reviews?

Great Watch

8 months ago
I have had the watch 2 weeks now and still have 13% battery. That is with messing with settings. Way better than the previous Instinct. I am not impressed with sleep monitor. I say I am awake when I am asleep. My resting HR and movement shows that I am still asleep but watch will show awake time. Instinct tracking was better at this. Everything else is comparable to my previous Instinct. Can't wait until I can exercise again to test out other features.

I love this watch.

I got it so I could track steps and heart rate and got a lot more. The gps tracking is fun for hikes and safety. At anytime you can send a signal out to let people know I am in trouble and a coordinate on where. The solar charger on it works very well. When camping or working outside it get a few days of charge as long as I am in one of the lower modes of operation. You can add your digital wallet to it for tap pay. I don't use all of the functions my self but there are videos on YouTube that explain all of it It has been a long indispensable tool day to day.

Amazing battery life. The watch arrived in the box with 28 days of charge. I finally got bored and charged it when it had 18 days left. The watch has so many features, I'm still figuring them out. Love the watch!

Motivational

Many of the features motivate me and help me think about ways to get better. I especially value the sleep feature. I’m more focused on what helps me sleep better (eg, no alcohol or food) in the evening. The record of my hikes and sleep and other features give me a glimpse into my overall health.

GARMIN Instinct, Fenix 7 and Fenix 8 SUCK

9 months ago
I purchased my instinct and at first liked it a lot, the same with a Fenix 7 and Fenix 8. After 3 to 4 days of wearing the watches, they have stopped measuring my sleep. This is a big issue for me. I have gone to the website for answers and found none. I will never buy a garmin product ever again. Going back wearing a regular watch.

Didn’t know I needed this!

10 months ago
Coming from the vívoactive 5, this is a huge upgrade. I run, climb, and work as a wildland firefighter, and this watch is exactly what I wanted. I picked up the Instinct 2 Solar as I started training for an ultramarathon and it’s made the training more accurate, more focused, and more engaging. The UI and menus for tracking activities makes perfect sense to me, and the ability to customize menus / preferred workouts / stats I want to see during and after activities makes my training that much better. The solar function is great and the battery life is insanely long. Incredibly happy with my purchase!

Best in class battery? It seems so!

10 months ago
I have had the Instinct 2 Solar for about a month and have been putting it through its paces. I wanted to move away from Apple because I got tired of being tethered to a charger. Using my Instinct 2 Solar to track four to five workouts a week ranging from an hour to 3 hours I was able to make it over twenty one days on a single charge. This brought me down to 30% and “7 day remaining” on my charge. I have noticed that the solar charging doesn’t like to go from bright to dark to bright, I would get the no charging slash if I did that. In continuous sun though I have no problems with it charging. The point is, with long sleeves or when the watch face isn’t in direct sun expect some periods where you get a no charging slash. The sensors in the watch work as they should, Garmin knows what they are doing, and are accurate. If you don’t need, or don’t want wrist based maps and don’t want to have to put your watch on a charger every night this is the watch for you. Enjoy!

Best all around wearable.

Use it for all of my activities. Swimming, MTB, paddling and more. Very durable and the solar charging helps significantly on those times when you are not around utilities. I was glad to finally find a wearable device that could hold up after others broke.
