Maybe ok. Was great, then at the year mark broke
Started great. At about the year mark, the GPS, Barometer, and worse yet the Solar charge stopped working. Thankfully, I bouth the extended warranty; however, I just sent it in for the second time to be fixed! Very sad because I bought this watch BECAUSE of those 3 features!!! Not what I expected from a Garmin Product. Each time I send it out, it takes about a week and a half to get fixed and returned. I think I should have stuck to my TimeX.

Good upgrade
Compared to the previous model instinct this one is a good upgrade. Better HR accuracy as well as the fitness widgets. Overall happy with it after a month of use.

Excellent watch
Bought this for military and everyday wear. The band is comfortable and durable big and does not make my wrist sweat. Light weight yet built with great quality. The watch function itself it’s spectacular. Love the gps mode making life much easier. Also tracking work outs and normal day life. 100% recommend this watch for all tactical and everyday watch wearers

All around perfect watch
I bought this two weeks ago and it’s just an all around perfect watch. If you’re an outdoors man of any kind and/or do any physical activities, weight lifting, cycling, or anything like that, this watch is for you!!

Amazing features and battery life.
I would highly recommend this watch to anybody out there looking for a smart watch that doesn’t have to be connected to your phone. It’s a watch that’s independent.

IOS NO GO
If you have an iPhone this watch is worthless. Don't waste your time.

Love this watch
I first want to say Garmin has the best customer service out there today! I had a instinct solar tactical and upgraded to the 2. I love it. From the look to the easy to use interface. I also noticed a huge difference in the battery life. I have had it now for almost three weeks and have not had to charge it yet. The solar panels must have been upgraded on this model. Also the vibrating function for alerts is much more subtle and quiet.

User Interface is horrendous
Battery life is as advertised. Features are solid. But navigating the UI is the worst I’ve ever experienced. Even when I manage to get where I need, the watch still seems to malfunction, constant buzzing, black screen, etc.

Good features
I have had this for about one month. I am not a large frame person and was afraid it might be too large on my wrist but the watch fits great. The band is a bit long, but I ordered a different one and it is fine. The features on this watch work well. I like the gps with bread crumbs. I have had several other brands of fitness watches but this is the best so far. The solar charging works great as do the other health metrics. I highly recommend this.
