Familiar to Garmin Instinct Users
I received this watch as a replacement for my original Garmin Instinct Solar watch purchased in 2021, this upgraded model is of the same quality and the replacement price made it an excellent value!

It’s a good watch
It’s a good watch but the watch bands don’t last very long and the battery lasted about 2 years before I had to send it in to be replaced

Exactly what I wanted!
Sometime technology can be too much, sometimes it can be not enough. This watch has the exactly what I’m looking for. The focus on what matters with very little distractions. I love it! Great for people who are looking for highly accurate health metrics, little distractions and outdoor tactical edge features.

Good battery & features, but heartcount inaccurate
Love the long battery life, great integration to my iphone, features with notification and step count. Haven’t used the navigation and other features enough to be familiar but is a good upgrade from my iWatch series 5. However the heart count is inaccurate, I heavily leaned towards buying a new smart watch to monitor my heart count while working out and even when my heart rate is above 125 tge readibg shows 90 and I am quite disappointed.

Instinct 2 Solar
So far, this watch has been excellent. It keeps up with strength training and runs accurately, keeps track of health information, and gives helpful insights into training condition. I just hope the battery lasts, as the original Instnct Solar failed far too early in it's life. .

Great watch
The watch is well built and have been wearing it for a couple of years now. It does a lot of things and can take a while to get it tailored for your needs. My setup primarily keeps track of my sleep, steps, calories, heart rate etc. I also have on my screens the compass, elevation, temperature and weather. In this configuration the watch can run without recharge for 25 days. If you enable an activity such as hiking, hunting etc it will kick that down to aeound 10 days. I download the data to my iPad via the Garmin Connect app a few times a week. The app is very helpful for history as well as your daily activities. It will also sync to your iphone for texts I am still learning things all the time.

Badass Watch!
I've had Garmin watches issued to me in the military before so when it came to the quality of a watch that I wanted, I was looking for something with similar GPS capabilities. The number of features on this watch are awesome and the compass is absolutely spot on! Not to mention the GPS is accurate to 10 digits. This is definitely a watch made for the field.

solar 2 tactical
love this watch. I wear it constantly. It helps me get better sleep, keep track of my steps, record my workouts....this watch is awesome. Learning how to add the data fields I wanted was a little harder than I would have liked but that's better than not getting to choose them at all. I used Polar HR watches for many years, eventually they just wound up lacking in my view. I train with power on my bicycle. I also hike, run, lift weights, use kettle bells. The long strap allows me to put the watch around my ankle so it's out of the way when I do kettle bell snatches, cleans, get ups, passes. I bought the same watches for both of my sons.

An upgrade, but in the wrong direction
The Instinct Tactical 1 was a great and simple watch, the stealth and night vision mode were the primary reasons I bought it. The 2, though an upgrade, moves in the direction that they took the 3: bells and whistles, and "upgraded" features. I think the new screens, navigation, and Garmin IQ functions take this from being a simple rugged Garmin for non-descript wear to some of their more "smart" watches with the intent being phone connectivity and not "tactical" wear. That being siad, it is as rugged as ever, the GPS fixing on the 2 is noticeably faster than the 1, and heart rate monitor and O2 sensor are a plus. My last point: I wish the face customization could have LESS information, similar to the 1. But there are some fields that can't go in other spots and some fields that are always going to be verbose; I would like a blank option for each field so that I don't have a wall of text no matter when I look at the screen. Really it boils down to: I wanted a solar tactical 1, but got the next step down of a solar tactical 3.

Awesome and Lightweight
I previously had the Original Instinct and upgraded to the Instinct 2 Solar. I've always been an Apple watch guy but this watch is freaking great. I pair it with an S24 and it syncs perfectly. I've banged it on everything under the sun without a scratch, dent, or otherwise.

Great Features!
I bought this watch in 2021, and had it Mailed to Compagnieshaven Marina in Enkhuizen, NL. Since that time, it mostly sat, and waited to operate for me. I am a new user, and am enjoying the simplicity of use, etc. Great Watch!

Game changer
Amazing way to track your sleep and overall health. Very customizable and relatively easy to learn. So far it seems very robust and built to last. The tactical features make it perfect for military and LEO use. No complaints from me.
