Ratings & Reviews for Garmin Instinct 2 Smart Watch with Step Counter, Heart Rate Monitor and GPS Enabled

A great improvement on an already amazing watch

Love the original instinct and this is just the next best thing. The only thing I would like to be able to do is use it on a call without your phone ie use your watch to talk on the phone and be able to use Samsung and Google pay to use your already saved cards on your watch for tap to pay.

Good but felt little expensive

Could have been little cheaper. Price has reduced after i purchased the watch

Great Watch

Bought this watch to track my workouts, sleep and daily steps/miles. Does everything I need it to and more!

Nice display & great battery life

Easy to setup and customize (connect iq, Glance watch face). I have time, day, battery status, local temperature, plus daily steps, weekly intensity minutes, and heart rate displayed on watch. This is very convenient. Additional apps might be needed for tracking data from a non-garmin device (smart scale). I got 14 days usage out of the first charge, and it took about 2 hours for a full recharge from 7%. I'm very satisfied with that.

Excellent watch

I love this watch it does everything I expected to recommend The instant 2

needlessly complicated

The Instinct 2 is awful, avoid at any cost. Use instructions are not clear or intuitive, the device is needlessly complicated to use.

Instinct

Great watch, but the heart monitor is not accurate. So, I took it back because this was important.

Great Watch Foe The Price

I really enjoy this watch. I have been wanting a Garman Smart Watch for a while now and Instinct 2 does not disappoint. I like the Connect app because it takes the information that I can get from the watch and it makes it bigger. However when you see the name Garman you think GPS and the watch does use GPS when you are tracking exercise and you can see a map of you journey on the app or even on the watch but on the watch you can only see a line indicating your route but not an actual map. I'...

Spendy but I like it

Got this 2 weeks ago at first it didn't track my sleep but it seems to be working now tracks steps, heart beat and temperature outside which is cool but it should be for an old watch at 300 bucks

enjoy

I have been enjoying this watch, getting to know how if functions and all that if offers. I am a little frustrated because lately it hasn't been able to sync or update my data. I would love to have this figured out so I don't have to keep restarting and disconnecting

Overall - I like it.

Bought it to replace an aging Venue SQ. Pros – Very customizable but takes a while to get used to navigating menus. Seems very sturdy (I did manage to crack the Chrystal on my old Venue). Phenomenal battery life! Waterproof – looking forward to using it windsurfing. Cons – My main complaint is with the backlight system. The gesture function (turning on the backlight with a wrist movement) is not available during whatever sleep p...

Keeps me going.

I've had it for about a month and there's not much that I can complain about.

lots of features

I got this watch because I wanted something rugged and practical. This watch was my choice. I must say there are a ton of options and features.So many that it can be confusing to set up and use. It was like ok here is your watch, figure out what you want to put on here. Directions should be included or a pdf file to download. I had to watch a lot of tutorial videos from people that are not Garmin reps. And yet I still get confused.

Instinct 2 watch

Great watch perfect for daily use and really good for running and tracking your activities perfect rugged watch for runners

A good GPS watch for all the activities I do.

I'm moving up from a Forerunner 910XT. The Instinct 2 provides much more functionality at a reasonable price. Like any new electronic gadget there is a bit of a learning curve before you are comfortable operating the watch, but it wasn't too bad with the Instinct 2. The device works well for general health data, skiing, running, climbing, hiking, HIIT workouts, and weightlifting. I also plan to use it for swimming and bicycling.

Great watch

This is a great watch for outdoor activities and for everyday wear with great features. You Tube videos are a great source of information

Not compatible with Blackview BV4800

The Garmin Connect app is not compatible with Blackview BV4800, which makes the watch useless.

Great up grade

I bought about a month ago did not have any problems setting up watch still learning more about it. Will be using more when we go on vacation. I like the battery length hope it holds up. M

Great buy!

I’ve always been an Apple Watch person, but switching the the Garmin Instinct was the best decision I’ve made. My favorite watch so far!

Very happy with it!

I am using the watch since about 4 weeks. Very impressed with the functionality. Just like it is advertised. I do not have the solar version, but 24 days when fully charged is more than enough for me. Great health reports and many features that can be customized.
