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

Great watch!

I’ve had this watch for about 2 weeks. Have not needed to charge it yet. Has tons of features that are extremely useful for the outdoors!

Everything I was looking for

I have about two weeks on the watch, and have used it daily for activity tracking and as a smart watch. The battery life has been great, and the heart rate tracking seems to be working great on the watch, this was a complaint that I had with a previous version that I owned a few years ago but all those kinks seem to be worked out and this watch does great from a wrist heart rate standpoint. I am about to move towards more outdoor activities and start using the gps function to track distances so...

Everything I was looking for!

Lets just say it - the biggest con to this watch is the price point. But as a good friend of mine says - buy once, cry once. I have had the watch for almost a month now and I cannot find one complaint with it. Fairly intuitive to navigate. Standard setup is straight forward and showcases many of the features. You can customize the face, trackers, exercises etc. Tactical is a perfect branding for this edition. From ballistics, GPS and jumping out of a plane there is no shortage of feat...

The best watch I ever had

So far the watch is everything you said it was. It the battery last a long time, the text and email are easy to read.this is a great looking watch. I would recommend it to anyone who looking for a great sport watch.

Great watch

Great watch simple feel but lots of features. Love the unlimited battery.

Garmin Instinct 2X Tactical

I made the decision to upgrade from my Garmin Instinct Solar Surf to the Garmin Instinct Solar 2X Tactical. It did not disappoint! The battery life is incredible as advertised and the the additional features i.e. being able to change settings thru the "Garmin Connect App" is a big plus as well. I am a canoe trekker camper. So my primary usage is navigation and also biking and hiking for exercise.The watch's performance is incredible. What can I say, they are both great watches, which is why I ha...

good watch

I've enjoyed the watch a lot, the compass and ability to set pins and travel points has been great. was a little disappointed there wasn't some form of AB unlocked from the start without hundreds of more dollars. already have a calculator so haven't used the AB interface. everything else has work very well

Awesome watch

Got this watch as an early Father’s Day gift and love it. Went from a Apple Watch to this watch and haven’t looked back

Great watch

I bought this a little less than a month ago but I love all the different features that the watch has! It’s super convenient that there are so many different workout options as well. They have a variety of running options and the gps tracks your run. The app makes it easy to review your workouts as well.

Love it

I love the features and it's comfortable to wear. Only thing I don't like is how easy the screen can get scratch if touched

Great watch!

I have had this watch for a few weeks now and love it! It has hardly been off my wrist. Love the size and all the features. It’s going to take a while to learn and use all the features this watch has. The battery life is the best! I’ve had it for about a month and only charged it once and took about 15 minutes is all. If you’re looking for a solid fitness, outdoor, smartwatch, this is the one to buy.

I have a lot more to learn, but the basic controls are very intuitive and pretty easy to get started. I was worried that it would feel big on my wrist, but it is actually quite comfortable. I don't think the tactical version is critical unless you use night vision or need the ballistics app.

Better than I had hoped, which was great!

I love my Apple Watch and bought the Ultra 2 for battery life, but is just is not very long and too much of a problem for an outdoors person that does not want to always be recharging, or can’t. G-Shock are great but lack the smartphone features. So…Instinct is obvious choice, and to my surprise I like the fit and feel better than Apple. Great job Garmin

Great watch good value

I have been looking for a watch with these options and this one works great. I looked at the new G-Shock smartwatch and was not impressed with the performance. My new Instinct does everything I want it to do and more.

Don’t love it

Hard to navigate features. Thought there was a better interface and map.

Ok I guess

I can never see the temperature…….. its always just loading

Decent, needs better connections

Coming from having multiple Apple Watches, So far so good. I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks. Took a trip to Alaska and I didn’t take my cord to charge it hoping the solar would be able to charge it. Unfortunately it did not, I guess it’s needs 100 percent sunlight. I did have some issues with text messages not coming through. Over all, not bad I’m still getting used to it.

Awesome Battery

I have only had it for a few weeks, but I LOVE the battery length of use. My old watch I was lucky if I got a 2-day charge out of it. I still need to figure out all the available things to use on this watch. But I love it. and now I think my wife wants one.

Best Smart Watch

Very happy with the product. I’m using it everywhere I go. I use it for my CrossFit workouts and when I’m camping and hiking.

Good investment

This is my third Garmin watch and I am thus far very impressed. I especially like the large display and the long battery life.
