Just what i needed!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for the best battery life, and this watch knocks it out of the park compared to most! It profiles my fitness readiness by tracking a dozen different things and takes a lot of stress away from having to manually input data onto my phone after runs or workouts ect. It's much more accurate with gps & tracking than my phone is unless you go inside a building. I like the silicone band quality as well as adjustability to get it right where you want. There is so much more that I could say about it but garmin did it right and it is a great watch!

The Ultimate Fitness Sidekick
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been wearing it for about 3 weeks now and have done multiple gym workouts, outdoor and treadmill runs and 1 swim. It is a perfect smart watch with a terrific battery life - 3 weeks with a few 30+ minute GPS runs outside and 4 times a week at the gym for 90+ minutes in workout mode, then it was still showing 4 days of battery left. Physical buttons is a huge advantage in tracking workouts - I don't even have to look at my watch to start/end a set. The monochrome display is another advantage for me, because I did not want to wear another phone on my wrist and charge it every day. You can customize one of the standard watch faces, as well as download a custom one from Garmin connect, or even create entirely your own - just google it, there is a website for that. I ended up customizing one of the stock watch faces, as it already has everything I wanted. Phone notifications work flawlessly and are fully customizable. The watch can either vibrate, beep or both at the same time - this can be changed in settings for each type of notification. There are very useful shortcuts you can set up to holding two buttons that are across from each other, for example, I set up iPhone music controls, alarm clock, stopwatch and timer. I hold GPS + Down to access one, GPS + Up to access another etc. Highly recommend this watch if you want something that's not distracting, but at the same time able to do more than just show time and be an awesome fitness companion.

Great watch for training
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a moderately competitive cyclist on a budget and got this watch to track my training and replace my Fitbit Charge 5 that died. Overall I love it. The battery life is great, but depends on the amount of GPS use. I get about 15 days while doing 6 hours of GPS activities per week. All the visuals are very customizable and it has basic smart phone notifications which are also customizable. I don't miss the color display or touchscreen on my Fitbit at all. The buttons are easier and work with with gloves on. The features in the Garmin Connect app are a huge improvement over Fitbits app especially the Training readiness, Training status, and V02 Max capabilities. I didn't give it 5 stars because the V02 Max and FTP capabilities will not compute without a Power Meter (you can get V02 max from walking or running). Cycling Power can be computed from GPS data (Strava does this), while this is not as accurate as a power meter it would be plenty good enough for someone like me (and 90% of other cyclists out there) this just seems like an attempt to sell power meters. I've also used worn it in the pool, shower, washing hands etc. without any issues even pressing the buttons under water. For comfort, I did think it was big at first but I got used to it after a week or two. I now wear it basically 24x7.

Garmin vs. others
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased new Amazfit T-Rex2, returned it for this which I purchased on 27Jun. Aside from the display (T-Rex is simply awesome) the Instinct 2 is a far better choice especially the ecosystem (Amazfit has a ways to go on that). You spend more on this watch than a lot of others out there BUT this watch is fantastic at what it does. I’ve also owned the Samsung 4 watch, the Fenix 6 & FitBit Charge 5. My opinion is that this new Instinct 2 is a best bet by far. Again my only negative would be the small font on the display, but my reasons for getting a watch like this isn’t just for the display, it’s mainly for solid functionality, and this one has that area covered very well. Not to mention it’s very rugged, so I can leave it on regardless of what I’m doing. The health snapshot, HRV and V02 Max is outstanding (very accurate not gimmicky). Lastly the watch lasts about 11 days when fully charged and SP02 is activated while sleeping which is really impressive in my experience. I only upgraded from the Fenix 6 because I wanted the latest and greatest sensors (that’s a great watch too). On my picture I included an area towards the top of the watch has a small bit of the plastic screensaver I bought on Amazon coming off a little. Good luck deciding, hope this helped.

Great Purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased about a month ago and I am really happy with it. It’s comfortable and it tracks all activities and health status. I use to use an Apple Watch which would require me to charge every other day. Now only having to charge it once is awesome. While still getting a little more than the Apple Watch. I’m an out doors guy and not having to worry about messing the watch up is a huge confidence in being able to do all the outdoors stuff. Being able to get fast coordinates and being able to see what your watch is showing with out the sun interfering is also a huge plus for me.

Accurate, no frills. Great battery life
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love how this one is designed. Utilitarian, designed for adventure with a great battery life and all survival features. Of course it might be a bummer that it doesn't have Garmin pay and LED color display. But it also comes with a 14+ day battery life. The accuracy is above question. I don't think I'll need another watch for a long time now.
