Setting up this watch is a part time job. Buttons very hard to navigate app won't download watch faces. I paid $139 on clearance & glad it wasn't full price of $299

I really love the Instinct 2. Wish the standard edition came in Jet Black, but there are a lot of band options. Great job Garmin.

obviously, as will most Garmin items, this watch comes with lots of bells and whistles already turned on. After setting the watch up to they way you want it, it's even better. Got the watch about 2 weeks ago. Ran some training and finished a marathon already. Love this thing, and I had a Fenix 5 prior to this that lasted me 6 years and multiple marathons.
I cannot download apps from Connect IQ

I bought this watch 3 weeks ago. It works fine, but I cannot download apps and watch faces from Connect IQ. That is supposed to be a key benefit of a Garmin watch. Support told me that this is a known issue that the engineers are working on.

i purchased this watch last month and I came from briefly owning an Apple 10. I have no need for lots of the features on the Apple Watch and find myself wasting even more of my time scrolling through the watch as well as my phone. I am trying to simplify and this Instinct 2 is perfect because it gives me all the info that I need and allows me to see the screen because it is always on. The battery life is amazing and so nice to have no need for constantly having to stick in a charger. I just charge it every week to top it off and I am good to go!
Exactly what I was looking for

This Smart Watch is exactly what I was looking for in a watch. I have a Garmin Approach S1, a Garmin Vivomove HR, and an Approach S20. Each one of these watches provided information that I wanted to keep track of, but they couldn't do both the golf and health stats at the same time. Then came along the Instinct 2 and this watch does everything. From giving me a morning report, to tracking my sleep, tracking just about everything going and above all I can wear it for Golf. I love it and wish I would have come across this earlier. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a Health and Sport watch all in one.
Option are good

Ireally like this watch it does so many things most of which I'm to old to really get into. I do wish you made a cheat card so you can find the uses you want. I use mine more for health checks which is great plus weather and alarms. The messaging is also fantastic

This is my fourth Garmin watch- the first one 12 years ago, the battery went after a few years. Then a used one, then a new Forerunner 45 in '21. Well, the battery died on that one so now I have the Instinct and I love it... - Battery, Battery, Battery. Love not having to worry about charging all the time and love that I have room for future degradation - Liking the features like sleep tracking, heart rate, customization, etc. - Love the display customization (hey- what's sunrise, sunset, temp?) So overall a nice improvement over my normal "cheapest watch I can get" and hope it lasts longer than three years.
Love it

This watch has a lot of health data that is very interesting to look into. The only downside is the O2 sensor. Beong on the wrist, it is always off by at least 3 or 4 points. Ill check the watch then check a finger O2 sensor and the watch is always off. Sometimes by 6 points

After nearly 6 yrs my 935 started to act wonky. Got the Instinct 2 and must say the data available is AMAZING! only thing is the band connection to the watch is a bit stiff and doesn’t flex to my wrist as nicely as the 935. Overall fantastic purchase!
Very good, if you like to click a lot.

I purchased this watch after owning the original Instinct since it's introduction, 5 plus years ago, thus I expect more of the same, only better as the added sensor capabilities supplemented the data capture and analytics provided by the watch. One area I was hoping for was to end the frequent data and watch crashes, which were happening far to frequent with the original watch. I've had one data lock up and no watch-OS crashes so far, so that's better, but still concerning. (Minus 1/2 star) The number of activities available to track is really impressive and this watch retains the hiking record function, which many of the Garmins seem to be loosing. So that terrific. (plus one star) An area that went backwards, to my surprise, was the app navigation, I now have to depress the Enter/GPS button 4 to 5 times to complete an activity. That is really getting old fast. Even to get the watch to get out of sleep mode and through the morning report requires an annoying large amount of clicks. (minus 1 star) This by the way is how the watch can tell you are awake, otherwise sleep data struggles to determine if you are still asleep. (minus 1/2 star) Battery life can be extended if you agree to the power management enhancements they supply, but these negatively impact activities, so I've turned off a lot of them. It is REALLY hard to fully power up the watch, as it takes a very long time to get the watch fully charged. I guess letting it stay plugged in all night would be fine, except then you aren't getting the sleep analyses that's available. (minus 1 star for how long it takes to recharge the watch). On the plus side, the sleep analytics are pretty interesting (plus 1/2 star) and I find that Garmin Connect integrates with both Apple Health and in turn the Levels (plus 1/2 star) Overall, I think the Instinct 2 is one of the best buys offered by Garmin.
Easy navigation
