Garmin - Instinct 2 Solar 33mm Smartwatch Fiber-reinforced Polymer - Graphite

I bought this about six weeks ago to replace the first generation Instinct I have. Overall this second generation has better features and more options so I do like that. I am a little disappointed in the battery life. It's lasting about 7-9 days depending on how much GPS I use. I was expecting the solar to be a little better than this. Battery life is similar to Gen 1.

This watch replaced my Instinct Solar I through Garmin's out of warranty exchange program and I could not be happier with both the product and the high level of service. I had a good 5 years on the old watch so my familiarity with these watches is fairly high and I am blown away how good this next generation is. I believe I will stay in the Garmin family for a long time.

I had the original Instinct Solar and the elevation feature began to malfunction. Garming readily offered an upgrade to the Instinct 2 Solar. I'm very happy with it. Overall, functionality is much smoother. I really only have one complaint and this is true of the 1 and the 2: the GPS (on/off) gets turned off inadvertantly when tracking.

Bought this watch to upgrade from my Vivo 3. This watch is everything I wanted it to be. Stays charged for up to 19 days where my last watch was 3 at the max. At first didn't like the buttons instead of the touch screen, but after using it for some time it is a way better option. Would recommend this watch to anyone who is outdoors alot.

I love this watch. I use it for anything from climbing and adventuring into the mountains to working as a firefighter paramedic. I love the solar function, the battery life lasts forever. It has a good balance of ruggedness and toughness as well as functions. As a first responder it is perfect for tracking my health statistics, while also performing well and staying tough in different environments. Love this watch.
