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

Great watch

I recharged it once just to see how long it will go. Been wearing it a month now.

Long lasting battery and good watch

I bought this May 10th and I still have 13 days of charge left I’ve been using it everyday. It’s a great watch I like the features it has I work as a technician so I haven’t put it through much but I did kind of scratch it by the band part so I wouldn’t like work on your car with it on or tight spots. It’s a great watch I love the fact that it has a flashlight which is pretty cool.

Awesome Watch

Got this through work, great product! Just a little difficult for this GenX guy to maneuver.

Awesome Tool!!!!

I am super impressed with the Instinct 2X Solar Tactical Edition tool. This unit is amazing and I believe the numbers it gives me are very accurate. I am really enjoying it.

Works, but found alittle challenging to set up

Excellent at what it does. Nice color. Works. Functional.

Far Too Complicated To Be Tactical

I really wanted to like this watch, but after struggling for a week and watching/reading countless tutorials, I came to the conclusion that it is far too complicated to be of any actual use in a real TACTICAL environment. As a former Army officer and experienced Jumpmaster and marksman, it is my opinion that depending on this watch in a tactical situation is quite likely to get one killed, captured, or otherwise out of the fight. Scrolling through the menus and functional/activity selections i...

Best battery life

This watch is awesome. Battery life is amazing and it offers everything I could need and more

Fantastic watch!

For me, this is the perfect watch. The 51 mm bezel is the perfect size especially for guys looking to get into a good smart watch that are used to G-SHOCK. It’s very light and easy to read. Fantastic functions and just looks really good on your wrist!

Better than G-Shock, surprising so...

This is my first smart watch and I have worn G-Shocks for over 30 years and I loved my G-Shock but it was getting harder to see so I thought I would try this Garmin Instinct 2X Solar Tactical and I haven't looked back. I didn't think I would use all the so many features but I find myself using more everyday. This is my everyday watch and I love it. I did change out the 22mm band for a quick fit 26mm band. There are so many options for accessories. Plus I can see the time!

Tough watch

I bough this watch November last year because i needed a watch that is more dependable than an apple watch. Great watch. Can track almost all health metrics and work outs. I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 because even though it’s still fairly new on the garmin watch series, it looks like garmin developers have abandoned any new features for this watch and have been focusing on the newer higher end watches. And also, i know i’m on the minority here that uses this feature but the blood ox...

Excellent choice for overlanding!

I have had the watch for about a month which replaced my Apple Watch. I love the workout functionality and really bought it for the backtracking gps feature. So far so good!

It’s awesome

Does exactly what I want it to do tracks everything quite well and accurately. Just takes soem time to figure out all the controls but after that it’s perfect

Love this watch

Love the features and the functionability of it , and it looks great !

Best watch

I had an Apple Watch and switched to the Instinct 2X Solar Tactical. Best decision I’ve made in awhile, battery life is ridiculously long, very durable, looks nice and is comfortable. Garmin did an excellent job designing this watch!

Great Watch

My son requested the Garmin Instinct 2x Solar Tactical Edition for Christmas. After wearing it for a month, he called me and told me, “Mom, I think it’s a watch you would enjoy.” He knows my love of watches. The features he likes the most are the reason why I bought myself one just like his vs trying to find one without the Tactical Edition. The features he knew I would like was the Torch. He knows I don’t see well in the dark and cannot always have my iPhone on my to have its flashlig...

Best Watch I’ve Ever Owned

This watch exceeded my wildest expectations. The feature set is easy to explore and use, and the solar power is a game changer. When I’ve been outside for long periods of time, it’s run solely on solar power while also charging the battery. Plus, the flashlight is fantastic—it’s super bright. 10/10 highly recommend!

Garmin tac watch.

This watch has an excellent style to it. I am an old G-shock guy, and I love information so this watch checks many boxes. As everyone has already mentioned, the flashlight is outstanding. The fact that I can get a ballistics app from a top ballistician is also great. I am getting a tactix 7 amoled version to compare. However the solar recharge capability of this watch is amazing. The amoled cannot do this, and the screen on the amoled is “lit up” unlike this watch. The exercise information is th...
