Such a great watch
I had a Garmin Instinct. Beat the hell out of it for about 6 years. I didn’t need a new one but I decided to treat myself. I got the Solar Instinct 2X because I didn’t want to break the bank. It just arrived and I got it all set up. I have no doubt this thing will be just as good- no, better than the Instinct I had previously. If you’re shopping for a great watch, that can be beat up with no worry, the Garmin Instinct series is a no brainer.

great watch
great watch i use the gps function for all sorts of things from trolling on the river to hiking in the woods. tracks really well within feet of where you are. like the ability to see messages and answer calls. when I'm not right next to my phone. the credit card doesn't always work but that's not a big deal to me. love all the extras Garmin connect offers.

My favorite GPS watch to date. Love the solar charging. Only reason i give a 9 is lack of maps. The bread crumb is nice but would prefer actual map. Super durable. I am rough on watches and this has yet to show any scratches

Great all around watch
I do a lot of walking as well as 5k and 10k races. I use this watch for both my daily training and my competition. My favorite features of the watch include the built in flashlight as well as solar charging. The GPS locks on very quickly and is very accurate. The arch can be used, in my opinion, by both beginners and experts.

Confusing.
I bought this watch as a heart monitor. When I sleep my pulse goes way up. When I'm awake my pulse comes normal. Maybe I'm wearing the watch backwards.

hard to re-pair with phone
Had this watch for several years then yesterday it forgot my phone. The instructions were truly awful. Garmin products work flawlessly when set up, but if they go down, the user is in trouble.

Upgraded from Instinct 1
I love this watch even more than my original Instinct that I wore faithfully for 3 years. Some of the best “new” features for me (other than solar, of course): 1. Connect IQ access - really improves the options for customizing the watch for my needs. 2. My experience this winter is that the downhill ski feature is MUCH improved. Only once did it misread a lift/run transition. 3. (Surprisingly) the built-in flashlight. It is perfect for those times when you need a little light but don’t need the hassle of carrying a headlamp with you. OVERALL: Absolutely worth the money.

Great battery life, reliable, stylish, easy to use. I use this mainly to track workouts and hikes but there are many different features I have yet to use. The compass and track-back features is great!

Great watch. Love the solar. Tracks all of my activity types - winter through summer. I was surprised at the wide array available. Helps motivate movement even when having a down day. The main screen packs a lot of information and is customizable to what stats are most important to the wearer, which I appreciate. As I learn more about what feedback it can provide, I think it will be even more useful. The one knock is it is a bit bulky, especially for a smaller wrist.

Love this watch. Not a distraction like other smartwatches seem to be. The flashlight is way more useful than I thought it would be. It's the bigger version of the instinct 2 but it really doesn't feel that big.

The best work watch out there
I'm a wildland firefighter which means I work outside in rugged and remote areas and I don't always have reliable power sources to hook up to. I previously owned the instinct solar and decided to upgrade to the 2x solar. I am supper impressed with the battery life as I've only had to charge it once in the month and a half that I've had it. It's also super durable so I don't ever think about damaging it as it is almost indestructible. The fitness features also come in handy tracking my trends over time so I have a good idea of where my health is at. All in all I am really happy with my purchase and I will continue to purchase Garmin products.

Great Watch Overall
I have worn this watch every day for over a year now. I use it to track every workout, every sleep cycle, and I use it as a guide for my calorie expenditure for fitness tracking. This watch likely has more capabilities that I have to use it with an insanely comprehensive app. The built-in flashlight is also incredibly handy. I have two small issues with the watch: One is that it never maintains a constant connection with my iPhone, so things like weather tracking are not available unless I sync with the app constantly. Not a big issue because I can simply check my phone. The second is that not long after getting the watch, I noticed a small scratch on the glass. The watch was advertised to have incredible scratch-resistant glass, and I don't recall putting it through much of a beating, so this was a little disappointing. Nevertheless, it is a great tool for health tracking and everyday utility.

all that I need!
I can't imagine what else can I ask from it. I'm totally satisfied with its functions. Coming from the previous model (instinct solar), I now have even the small things I wished (custom faces, apps). And of course: I am in love with its battery!

Incredible watch!
This watch is amazing. I love how durable and water proof it is. I wore it down to Mexico for a week and everything from the GPS to the phone connectivity was very useful. It also helps a lot with work for time keeping and keeping my alerts close and handy at all time. The durability is something unheard of. I dropped a pallet of deer corn on my arm and while my arm hurt, the watch was scratch free.
