I am happy with my garmin. The big thing is that I don't have to carry my phone with mw while running as I can track the distance through it.

Great smartwatch
This watch has the features I was looking for in a smartwatch. The battery lasts over 2 weeks. Only negative is I wish the band provided was longer.

Thank you for your review.
Underwhelming compared to my old fitbit
This is first impression review. Looks much smaller in real life. The strap is too small for me an normal sized man!! Doesn't auto detect activity. No calorie counting function within the app. Couldn't find any of this information before hand just assumed it would have better functionality than a 2017 fitbit watch.

All you need for a lifestyle and fitness watch!
This thing is a mighty watch in small packages coming from a Fenix 6x. I prefer the simplicity and size.

Excellent Features, Durable
I bought this a little over a month ago after getting off the FitBit platform. I couldn't be happier and wish I had done this a long time ago. Way better interface and options. I'm still learning how to modify aspects of the watch, but I am very pleased. I needed an all round fitness and health tracking watch for a very active 60 year old guy with many outdoor and indoor land and water exercise and hobby trackers. So far this one has been excellent and in my humble opinion, well worth the price ...

Solid all round GPS watch.
Only had it for a month so far. Have gone backpacking, and used it for cycling and running. Very pleased with overall function. One caveat is- the compass feature is totally unreliable.

Functional and Durable
I got this watch to replace my apple watch after damaging it in a mtb accident. I love how well this watch has held up since I purchased it this fall. I have swam, hiked, climbed, biked and this watch still looks near new. I also love the training metrics that it includes being a garmin and being able to have easy access to see my progress through the app. I purposely picked the smaller version has I am a more petite build and the only thing I wish is that they made some special versions like th...

Very well designed watch
This watch had a lot of thought put behind it. I use it for tracking hikes and for its basic GPS capabilities which it does pretty well at. I also use it for tracking runs and general workouts. It's a good just daily watch as well, seems pretty accurate with step count, tracking sleep, and tracking heart rate. I've only had a few times where it disconnects from my phone or the battery life suddenly lessens significantly and I just completely shut it off and let it charge over night and then it's...

Awesome yet basic enough. Would take a garmin over a Apple Watch any day

No face color
I like many features, but did not realize there was no option for a watch face with color on this model. Would not have purchased it, if I had realized this. Would prefer a clock face with color to show progress toward goals. I would give it 5 stars if it had this option.

An awesome wearable for any athlete
I’m a 57-year-old male had a very High level of fitness. I recently transitioned from the Fitbit charge five to the 2S. As a cyclist, I ride almost 3000 miles a year outdoors and another 3500 indoors.. Putting most of the wear and tear on my Garmin head units. But now with this watch, I’m doing some of the rides with just watch… And unexpectedly it is not a major inconvenience to forget my chest strap for heart rate. The wrist and the chest strap correlate well enough through zone four. ...

Never buying another watch!
My boyfriend and I both bought our first Garmin watches a month ago and I don't think we would ever dream of going back to another watch. These watches are the full package. Great features, we love the body battery/sleep score, etc. It really aids in both our active lifestyles!

Thank you for your review.
Love it
I brought the watch 2 months ago and love it. But confusing how to set the program up. Still learning about the features.

Absolutely love!
I’ve been wearing this watch for the last few weeks and have absolutely loved it! I’ve taken it hiking, trail runs, and running!

Montre polyvalente pour l'essentiel
Je ne donne pas 5 du fait que pour la navigation, retour, pas très précis. Pour le reste, solidité, fonctionnement, super !
From Garmin
Great Product
Loving that it tracks my heart rate during my workouts and steps. There’s much more that I could do with this watch, but I don’t need to and it’s easy to operate.

INSTINCT 2S REVIEW
I have had the Instinct 2S for about 2 weeks now. I am pleased with it in every aspect. It would be nice if it has some color in the display, but other than that I have no suggestions. It is highly customizable to your personal tastes. I like that it is controlled by buttons rather than a touch display. This watch replaced Vivoactive 3 and you could often accidentally touch the face and go to sections accidentally. You could never take it off and put it in your pocket or it change all kind...
