Great watch.
Love this watch. Lot's of capability and you can make the screen as simple of multi-faceted as you'd like. The sleep measurements are greatly improved over previous models.

Love my Garmin Instinct solar 2
My Garmin Instinct Solar 2 is amazing. I use it primarily for cycling. Tells me everything I need to know. Works great for swimming too. Probably works great for a running but I don't run.

great monochrome watch
Great watch, worked just fine for almost 4 years, then solar charging stopped to work. Feature-wise excellent watch at this price point!

Garmin makes great smart watches
I like this watch a lot! My wife's smart watch needs charging every couple of days; mine goes for almost a month between charges. I love that it displays notifications from my phone so I can check them without dragging my phone out of my pocket. The band it came with was difficult and slow to remove and latch again, but I found a reasonable replacement with a swing-over magnetic latch that is perfect.

It worked great for 2 years before the battery stopped holding a charge and the solar charging feature also stopped working. This wouldn’t be a problem if the battery was replaceable but it is not. Planned obsolescence?

Great adventure watch
Super useful watch, I prefer the mip display over the amoled ones, easy to see in sunlight. I used it for a recent race and was pleased with the data it gave me.

Well, it was a gift from my son. I am old school but starting to figure it out. Just where do I get information on what all the apps on the face represent. It just will take me some time. I need to know where to get the manual for my Garmin watch.

It’s “ok”
It takes some getting used to. Not so easy to learn. When you master it it’s fine

Never thought I would get a smart watch!
I have always worn analog watches, never thought I would own a smart watch, but I love the functionality. This watch has tons of it.

Instinct 2 Solar Watch
Only a few weeks but I’m enjoying much more that my iwatch. I love the pulsox feature and instant connection to previous Garmin Connect app. Battery life has not needed a charge yet so solar feature a plus when wearing uncovered outside. A keeper. I’m a beginner with a watch like this but features similar to my Garmin MTB 530 bike computer so easily figured out the features.

Perfect every day watch!
This watch does everything I could ask for. From tracking work outs to being used to log lap times while racing and everything in between. As a rally navigator it is important to be able to track sunrise and sunset as well as keep up with current weather. This watch does all of that in a small, easy to navigate package. If you’re looking for a simple smart watch to use everyday, this is one to consider.
