My Third Garmin

I switched to Garmin after going through 2 Fitbits in approximately 3 years. I started with a Venu Sq which lasted 3+years. I had to replace it after it gave out around year 2 (GREAT WARRANTY!). My sister gave me her Vivoactive, which was awesome fitness tracker, but alas, it didn’t last a year. Probably because it was pretty old. I inherited my solar Instinct 2 from my brother-in-law (he passed away in October). It seems to be pretty durable. I still need to add some activities to it but I’m happy to have a reliable fitness tracker to keep me accountable! My sister who gave me her old Vivoactive also has a solar Instinct 2. I like Garmin products and will continue to use them.

More Isn't Better

Recently replaced (battery wouldn't hold a charge!) my original Instinct Std Ed, vintage 2020. I thank Garmin for making the replacement easy and affordable; service is outstanding, as are their products! But I believe the Instinct II Solar is waay more complicated to setup! Too many activities to choose! So far, I've spent 3+ hours attempting to setup up the new Instinct in a similar fashion as the old Std Ed...and I'm not there yet! Assuming after several more frustrating hours, I'll prevail!

Love This Watch

I wear this watch pretty much every day, and it's been amazing. It's survived mountain bike crashes to deep whitewater swims and came out completely unscathed. I thought the white band would get dirty or fade, but over the last 2 years, it's been great. The only thing I would say is that if you sweat a lot you might want to look for a non-silicone band or just remember to take the watch off from time to time.

Worth The Price

I’ve had this watch for about a month, its got more features than you'd expect. Comfortable, not clunky, amazing feel on the buttons. Super long battery life I’ve only charged it once. Highly recommend if you need an outdoorsy or active lifestyle watch.

Nice Watch But Less Battery Life Than The Original

I really like this watch, but my personal experience is that the Instinct 2 has slightly less battery life and a less efficient solar charging than my original Instinct watch. There are some new bells and whistles over and above the first version, but I really don't use those much.
