I enjoyed all the features, the weight and the size of this watch. I ended up returning it because there was one feature I needed for my training, which was the audio prompt , and apparently this model of Garmin does not support it. I was actually very surprised that this model has so many features and yet it did not have this particular feature, which seems like a basic feature since they lower models carry it
Terrific watch but

This is a terrific watch, works well. Not too big or small. Tells time with a lot of extra tools to use. Only flaw is time to connect to gps to drop a marker. I have owned the instinct tactical 1 as well and same issue. This units is improved however this is big lag.

I’ve my watch for about a month now, but didn’t really start using until about 2 weeks ago. I really like the size as it is similar in size to my Apple Watch 9. I also really like the color. Just wish it didn’t look so much like a guys watch. So far it does everything that I need it too.
Perfect for my lifestyle

I decided to purchase the smallest instinct 2 for myself after purchasing the largest for my husband a few months back. The battery life was the initial selling point, however I like that I can confidently do more outdoor things and feel comfortable about the durability of my watch. I previously had the venu, which I’ve kept so I can switch out when I need to dress “nicer” for work, which isn’t often. I’ve never been one to use all of the smart watch features, and mainly use it for notifications and tracking (steps, hiking, etc), however the ability to quickly see sunrise/sunset times has quickly become a nice bonus for my work (photographer). Maybe my venu could do that and I just never saw the option. Overall, I feel like the instinct is more responsive and maintains a better connection to my phone.

This Garmin is perfect for someone who wants most the features of the high end ones without breaking the bank. it's robust and simple and does everything I want it for. since it's the s the battery life could be better but with its smaller size you can sleep without feeling like you have a brick on your wrist. I've accidentally smacked it against many things and it stands strong. Great watch.

Highly functional smartwatch

Feature rich GPS wearable for tracking cycling, cardio, weight training and hiking activities. Automatically feeds data captured into the Garmin Connect app which seamlessly uploads all metrics into Strava. Additionally it transmits heart rate data directly to Garmin 530 unit, which I prefer to use when GPS turn-by-turn directions are needed on bike. Although I wish the time and data fields displayed larger, that's a problem with my poor eyesight, not the equipment. This watch is a useful and affordable GPS wearable to capture and analyze activity data.
It’s Amazing!

This is my third Garmin watch over 2 decades and they just keep getting better. The watch has great features for me (cyclist / paddleboarder) and an expected surprise is the morning report.

The display is hard to see because it is not bright enough. If there were a way to make it brighter I'd like it more.

I bought this as a replacement for another fitness tracker and so far so good. I am impressed with the battery life and the many features. I generally use it just for fitness tracking but will explore its other features next summer.

This is the least user friendly watch I have owned. My Venu2 was great I only got the instinct because my Venu suddenly quit holding a charge more than a day. Very difficult to figure anything out on the instinct. Can't find anyone who can help me navigate it either, even people who own one seem to mavigate by hit or miss. When I first started wearing it the watch was estimating my calorie burn at over 3000 cal a day (I'm injured and wearing a boot so not doing much) so I knew that was wrong, I adjusted my weight which was 10 lb difference and suddenly my calories are 900 day?? not even close, My sleep used to be about even between deep and REM, almost 2 hrs each now it is constantly poor quality with an hour of awake and 30 min of deep and REM - I'm sure that is not correct.

Great way to start the new year. I love the comprehensive features and like the stress tracking better than I thought. Easy to add custom activity types (I do roller derby and wanted to track my practice sessions separately from the other exercise types.) I like the freeform and opt in nature of the challenges on the Garmin Connect app. I am glad I switched from (Other Big Name Brand) to Garmin for sure!

Got it as an early Christmas gift and has already helped me find my way out of a cedar swamp. Controls were clunky to figure out without an internet search, but after 20 minutes of clicking around, it’s natural now! Only complaint is sleep tracking with the app. I work rotating shifts and it will erroneously track sleep when on midnights, and not track correctly during the day. 5 Stars otherwise.
