Difficult to use

I received the Instinct 2 as a gift. I had a Vivo HR plus and I loved it. I do not understand why this one is so complicated.

Easier to use

I had a Fitbit Charge 5 I had worn for a few years. The Instinct2 is much easier to use and provides additional features that I enjoy. Also, the watch needs charging much less often. I haven't figured out how to add some new features yet, but am working on them. Thanks for an enjoyable product.

I'd buy it again.

Rugged. Full of features. Connects well and securely to my iPhone, from where most features can be managed (that was smart). Accurate and consistent sensing. All told, I dig the watch. On the downside, the manual really does leave a lot to be desired. That's kind of an issue on a device this complex. Much of the symbology lacks explanation (some of it doesn't need it, but some of it does). Anyway, good product and I'm glad I bought it, but would like to see the documentation improved.

Somewhat awkward

I bought this watch because I wanted to add to my other Garman watches. The setup was easy but where I find the watch’s design awkward was in the maneuvering from app to app. Most watches you just use the swipe method and then tap on the area you need. The Instinct 2 you have to use a core button and then use two other buttons to go up and down until you find the right position. I.E. use the core to find settings and then press a button to jockey it to what activity you want to use. It’s d...

Quality watch

I’ve had this watch for about two months now. I’ve charged it one time. It’s user friendly, even if you’re technology challenged like myself. It has great features for outdoor sports and seems to be pretty durable. I’m very happy with it so far.
