Great watch. Tracks everything and monitors your emails from your phone. I love it.

Nice Watch

Overall good watch. Have not had time to use or explore all the features. The backlight is a little low and in some cases does not make it easy to read the watch face. Very nice outdoor watch.

Great Features

Functionally it does all that I would want it to do. Some of the way to do things is not intuitive and the screen isn't always easy for me to read. It is a good watch for Triathlon - swim, bike and run.

Have Problems- No One Available For Help

Stop showing outside temperature about a month ago. Not able to restore. Not able to talk to anyone about the problem!!!

It's A Constant Companion

I purchased my Garmin Instinct 2.5 years ago. There have been no problems, and I still wear it most of the time. It has helped me in countless ways: alerted me to a life threatening condition, tracked my HR, sleep, oxygen saturation, and kept me out of danger when increases in elevation happened too quickly. It's been absolutely one of the very best digital gadgets I've ever purchased.

It's A Good Watch

I have had this watch for a couple of years, the watch is great, but I'm pretty sure this is the fourth time the app in the my phone forgets that I have the watch, it's quite a annoying, I also have it set on metric and for reasons only known to Garmin it will tell me when I have walked a mile???

Nice Watch

the alert function works great. Fell down pretty hard on a hike and my contacts were alerted. I was not in any danger but grateful for the peace of mind

Instinct 2

I love my watch but I wish you could get your nap time a lot earlier.

Instinct 2 Went Crazy!

I have the watch 2 years an 2 month. Hard to explore menu and the watch face. However pretty good features. I like most of them, except the excessive golf features, but I dont play golf. Few days ago, the watch started to jump through the menu and drain battery so fast. I had to recharge fully every few hours. Something with aquaring satellites, said AI deep seek. Menu button was actually stuck and barely working. Fix the menu button under warm water, but battery still drain fast. Don't know what is the problem.

Perfect Watch For Working Person

I’ve worn this watch almost every single day for the last 2.5 years. Maybe not worn it 14day while I was waiting on my replacement in that time frame. The watch seemed to survive some of the roughest events as a diesel mechanic, weight lifter and obstacle course racer on occasion. It’s not the most fancy but it’s just what I like with enough fancy stuff to keep me happy. I replaced the one that finally died after 2.5 years with the exact same one so that should say something. Wish the silicone band lasted longer that’s about all I can say. But o am also very hard on it so it’s understandable honestly.

This Is A Great Watch For The Money!

I like how the phone syncs up great to your phone! You can see everything that comes in on your phone!

Best Watch Ever

Super happy and impressed with recording abilities, love all the features, the size of the face is large but you get pretty used to it. Very happy with the battery life and it will last me multi-day trips!

Instinct 2

I bought in early Nov 25. Mainly to pair with an alpha 200 dog tracking system. Works great for that. I personally do not use any of the other apps. But have been wearing everyday. Really like fact I don't have to keep phone on me to know when receive text or call

Keepa Asking To Be Reconnecting

Keeps disconnecting watch from phone and every 2 days have to re sync

Not Good At All

Why not just build one single watch that WORKS and is easy to use? I don't understand you guys. Two days spent trying to get this to stop crashing. New computer, new laptop, new cellphone and it still does not work right. So fed up and frustrated.
