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

Great Features!!!

My husband bought this for me a month ago and I haven’t taken it off since. It's very comfortable and light weight with so many different features.

Instinct 2s

Have had the watch for about 3 weeks battery life is good 21 days or so. garmin connect app makes it super easy to check health stats and pairs easy with other devices like the smart scale. Records sleep information also which the size of this watch is better for in my opinion. Larger models are not comfortable to sleep with. Wrist band could be a bit larger can only go to notch 4 which makes the second band strap not lock in past the last hole. Note I’m 37 year old guy @ 190-200 lb. Can always ...

My Apple Watch died and I fancied a bit of an upgrade. Really great size for me, awesome 2 week + battery life! A little bit of a learning curve to figure out all the features and personalise it, but over all chuffed to bits with it! üòÖ

So many options

I am loving this watch. There are an endless amount of options available with the Instinct 2. It is also very helpful to use the website to track and toggle activities.

Easy to setup

The 40mm watch strap is pretty small. I don't have big bones and it was on the limit. This can always be changed, but be aware when you buy it. Despite the fact that I love the watch, I would recommend the 45 or the 50 mm Pros: - easy to set up with the Garmin phone app - a lot of activity for data recording Cons: - watch strap too small - GPS accuracy is a little bit off - screen size

Excellent watch, rugged, comfortable and useful

So glad I bought this watch, Super comfortable, I wear it all the time, it’s a great size, and rugged enough to take any bumps or knocks. The battery life is amazing, I’ve found I’m only charging it every three weeks! The sleep tracking is great, it’s interesting to see the in-depth analysis and how it works to create a more personalised training plan, the more you wear it, the better it learns how to help you achieve your goals. Doing competitions with friends is a decent feature, and the level...

I have been using the Garmin instinct for about 4 or 5 years now 4-5 days a week and have never had any problems with it. Excellent for tracking daily outdoor activates with an excellent battery life that has not diminished. Garmin products seem like a expensive purchase but the quality of the product will last you for many years would recommend to anybody.

Great product, insanely durable.

I only ever take this off when I shower and that's just to charge it. Only charging while showering keeps the watch charged all the time. I have worn it while rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving, etc for around 2 years. There are some scratches around the face on the plastic, but not a single scratch on the screen. I dove to 60+ ft with no issues at all. It's great for gps tracking and finding your way home. If you try to continuously track a multi day backpacking trip the batte...

Je n'avais jamais supporté l'Inconfort d'une montre bracelet auparavant. Son bracelet est très confortable, ses fonctions évoluées intelligentes, dont le GPS me sont utiles lorsque je vais en foret ou je suis sur des grands lacs. Je découvre des nouvelles fonctions régulièrement et je ne manque plus aucun appel importants..

Great Watch!

The features I've learned to use so far have been very nice. Still a lot to learn. :)

This is not SURF watches!!!

Watches loosing tides after loosing connection with the phone. Nobody go surf with the phone. Waves counting is not correct. Do mot show waves quantity during the session.

Great features, short battery life

I've been a long time other smartwatch brand user and have been waiting on my last one to die and chose a Garmin Instinct 2S. I like the small size of the 2S, however the downfall is battery life. I have the pulse ox off and get 7 days battery life then it goes into battery saver mode. That's a day or two longer than my last watch and was hoping to get at least 10-14 days. With only 7 days of battery life, that is much less than half of the advertised 21 day battery life. I assume the watch...

It has motivated me to improve my training intensity and I love seeing all the data. Previously, I had an Apple watch and I love the insane battery life of the watch and its limited distractions. I have the poppy color and I love the look of the watch. It has been a wonderful tool when it comes to my mountain biking, trail running, and cycling!

Cute and functional

So far I enjoy this watch - it has way more fitness tracking functions than I need, is pretty easy to get accustomed to, has an AMAZING battery life and I love the poppy color.

Super cute - does the job

I love the color, but aside from aesthetics it does everything I want without all the extra bullsh*t I dealt with with my previous watch. I don't want a ton of random, superficial features. The Instinct 2S provides great support to mountain adventures, has all the details I want at first glance on my watch face, and has the LONGEST battery life of any watch I've ever owned. Definitely recommend - my experience helped my coworker make the decision to get one of his own. You won't regret it.

Amazing

Great watch. Durable. Fast. And beautiful Really worth the money spended

GPS surfing

Not happy at all with the gps tracking when surfing , also has to return first watch as it stop responding to any commands.

Small Data Windows/S Version Tiny Wrist Band!!

I loved the weight (or lack of)! HR monitor seemed accurate while hiking but was off by 50bmp (compared to my Polar HRM with chest strap) while on my spin bike. The band is very comfortable but really small (my wrists are 7.5"). The length of the band is mentioned in the specs, had no idea that was a spec I needed to look for. (Garmin, you let people customize their watches, let us customize the length of the band as well!) My main complaint about this watch are the data fields. The ones at the ...

Great watch

I have had it for almost a month. The watch is fantastic. The only think i wish it had was touch screen and color options. But it is a great watch for outdoorsy people
