I bought this a year ago and it is not accurate at all. The compass is off by a lot of degrees and the gps tracker is not accurate. I have had great experiences with garmin in the past and am dissatisfied in the instinct 2. The other features of the watch are great, but garmin needs to solve these problems.

Great starter watch
Overall good watch. The only issue is the weather features don't always work
From Garmin
Most useful watch I've ever had!
This watch is great. I love the amount of features. I love the tracking of both elevation and steps. I get a lot more exercise at work than I thought. I love the sleep monitor. Apparently I get more good sleep than most of my coworkers. I love the heart rate monitor that allows me to practice breathing and relaxing techniques to actively lower my heart rate. I only wish there were an option to track my ketone levels. That would be an awesome addition if someone could make that happen. L...

Great to help with fitness
I recently got my Garmin Instinct 2 watch & so far I’m using it to help me with monitoring my health in my recent retirement. It has a lot of features that I plan on using but using it for time, heart rate & steps is satisfying. I’m looking forward to using it’s features this watch has so I’ll be busy.

Everything I need
Bought this 3 weeks ago and I’m really enjoying all it offers.

Pleasantly Surprised
I was looking for a simple/basic watch that could record metrics of activities, and that's what I got. Didn't want/need smart features (my phone is sufficient for that) I thought it would be a bit expensive for what it was (still not worth full retail), but pleasantly surprised with its offerings. I was concerned that it would be slow/laggy and that operating the watch via buttons would be clunky or complicated -- the watch is not slow and the usage of buttons is intuitive and it was qu...

Love it
Bought this about two weeks ago. Super comfortable. Wish the battery lasted a bit longer - I think mine lasts half the advertised time.

Great watch!
Had been Apple Watch user bought this on sale to try out Garmin and I love it! Love all the metrics like the body battery and the training readiness. Only thing I don’t like is having to click to toggle through the menu. Definitely plan on splurging for the touch screen forerunner down the road.

Versatile
The best part is that it can function without google telemetry. Although, it's tuff to know how bad google has infected everything. That said, I like how it allows me to customize it with the features that fit my goals and set aside the other parts. And if my goals change, the watch is customizable.

Great battery life
Love that it stays charged and can wear it for almost a month without having to change it!
From Garmin
I am nothing short of highly impressed
I bought the watch on a whim, I was considering a G-Shock but noticed this was on sale at a similar price and with far more features, a great display and a similarly rugged and comfortable build, so I took the plunge. My previous smart watch experience pretty much begins and ends with the Pebble way back when, and I loved it, but have been put off by poor battery life on smart watches since. This lasts a month on a charge, or tries to, I would say closer to three to three and a half weeks, but e...

Insight for Living that's "Instinct"-ive to Use
The standard Instinct 2 is an excellent workhorse smartwatch, and as there's higher end models and newer versions available, I was able to get mine for a bargain. I thought I was going to use mine as mainly a notification tracker, but while it works well as just that, the watch also gets better the longer you leave it on. Sleep and recovery trackers can warn you if you need to take it easy on a given day, and goal markers popping up as you hit your steps and stairs are a nice little boost to the...

Like them all
Hello I got this for Father's Day everything is ok but after the first night my sleeping is not recording and do I let it run out before recharging it. I was charging it before it runs out but it was only giving me like 27 hours before it runs out. I accidently ran it out recharged it and it went back to 12 days before it runs out right now at this hour it says 4days left.so if you can help me with that it would be great. Over all love it
