My Solar Instinct has been invaluable to me for me reasons. I purchased it at the end of 2022 to wear during my Pacific Crest Trail hike. I am a 65 year old female, 62 when I started my through hike on the PCT. I now live on my son's goat farm and work outside in rain and sun. I milk the 100+ female goats and muck out barns. This watch has endured the harsh conditions like a champion. It has never failed me. I use it for monitoring my sleep, heart rate, steps taken, weather, date, time, reading ...

Nice watch and sports tracker
I’m enjoying the watch. Great battery life. I track walks and hikes with watch ( I have an edge 840 for Mtb rides, my main hobby). I like all the stats available in the connect app on phone too!

Terrible
I bought this watch because I liked the battery life and sleep tracking. Unfortunately I could not figure out how to work this watch - I was pushing all the buttons all the time trying to get a workout tracker going, I think eventually I hit the right button, but the second night I wore the watch, it didn’t track my sleep. I don’t know if I accidentally disabled it, but it was so infuriating to try to use this watch that I just wanted to throw it against the wall. Do yourself a favor and get an ...

Absolutely love this watch. I wear it almost every day, even when I'm not doing outdoor activities. I especially appreciated Garmin making a smaller version, because some of these tracking smartwatches are just giant on smaller wrists. This one does allllmost everything the big ones do, without feeling obtrusive.

I don't think I'd bother getting the solar version if they continue making that as an option, when you're actually active it seems nearly impossible to actually take advantage of that. The rest of the watch does exactly what I wanted, without too much other junk to worry about. Basically just wanted something to record basic health info and track mountain bike rides and it does both of those well.

Poor readability.
I bought the Instinct 2S Solar several weeks ago and am still fumbling through settings on the watch! The small brochure that came with it was of little help. I had to watch some YouTube videos to set some of the less basic settings. Not intuitively designed! The other issue is the tiny script. I’m a young 60 and wear readers, but not in the pool- some tweaks to background lighting and increases font size would be helpful. While I know there is a learning curve, I am generally a quick study....

Problems with good tutorials
Only average until I can learn how to use it. I totally like the watch but am overwhelmed with how to find approiate tutorials. Beware as some of the tutorials on line have unexpected charges and some appear to be scams.

Very durable, amazing battery life. Not huge into the daily metrics but nice to follow long term trends

interesting
Nice watch, lots of features, but I won't use most of them . wrist band is difficult to use, about two holes shot. I take it off when I shower, not sure I trust the fact that it is waterproof. I am looking forward to trying out the few features that appeal to me.
