  • I love this watch!
Color: Instinct 2 Solar (Graphite) Size: 45 MM Style: Instinct 2 Solar Pattern: Watch
So I come from wearing a Casio Solar Atomic (not smartwatch) for over 7 years. At the time of this review I have been wearing the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar (45mm) watch for 11 months. The Casio was a true solar watch and I never replaced the battery, not once in 7 years and when I gave it to a friend after I moved to this watch it still showed full battery. HOWEVER that was NOT a smart watch. There is a point to me bringing that up and it has to do with a previous reviewer. But I will get to that point in a minute. Comparing the size and weight to that old watch I was quite surprised. I expected this watch to be bigger and heavier. However it was neither. This 45 mm Instinct is about the same size as the old Casio but it is much lighter. The band is silicone which is very flexible and comfortable while still being strong. It has two excess band holders which I thoroughly love! Now I have worn a watch since I was about 6 or 7 and could tell time. I am 43 now so you do the math. It all that time my biggest pet peeve about watches is that excess band sticking out and catching on EVERYTHING! The band would come out of those old holders or it would catch on something. it was just a fact of life. Enter Garmin, they give you two excess band holders. one old style slip and slide that you can slide into any position and one on the end that is same type but adds a notch that fits into the excess band and locks it in place! No more catching it anything! OMG I can't get over such a simple and wonderful feature!!!! Now for the watch itself. Lets talk battery/solar and then we will get to features. So the face of this watch is a Solar panel. the outer ring takes in 85% of the solar light while the center watch face itself takes in 15%. The battery has a great capacity compared to other smartwatches. Another reviewer stated that she owned a Casio watch exactly as I had and got this watch, now she has to charge it often and her old watch she didn't that makes this watch trash. How wrong that is. Is it possible to use the solar panel to keep the watch charged and never need to plug it in? YES! However that means shutting off every feature that you want this watch for including smartwatch mode. If you used it EXACTLY like the Casio watch and it got the minimum amount of sun every day then yes, you could achieve an infinity battery. However you wouldn't pay this kind of money not to use it right? so lets be realistic here. I'll tell you how I use MY watch and what kind of battery life I see. I use smartwatch mode which includes receiving text messages from my phone and sending canned replies often. I also have the heartrate monitor on 24/7. However I do have the Pulse ox turned off. I had it on constant the first day I received my watch and I watched the battery go from being measured in days/weeks to hours! it said my battery would be dead in less than 24 hours so I turned that feature off! My watch goes on Sleep/do not disturb mode for bedtime each night so I don't receive texts and have it wake me. Also backlight goes to 5% at night. I also use the gps at least once a week sometimes twice for about an hour during walk/hikes. In the summertime I am outside alot and get way more sun than the wintertime so this timeline is during then. I realistically on my settings see a battery life of 26 days on a full charge. However due to gps and everyday usage I on average have to plug it in to charge it every 21 days. ( I charge it at 15% or 2 days left) Now my sister has the Instinct 2 40mm watch size and she uses hers like mine with roughly the same settings and she has to charge hers typically every 14 days. So an additional 7 days and an additional gps time is the difference between the 40mm version and the 45mm version if anyone is curious. So realistically the solar panel is a subsidiary battery charger not meant to charge the whole battery (though it can be used that way if the watch is turned off and placed in the sun all day during when you cannot charge it via power supply). the panel subsides the need for a full battery charge more often. I do believe the non-solar versions battery life are measured in hours or a few days. not the amount that this one gets. So the solar version really is worth it! I have seen in the summertime when I was in the sun alot, I have seen my watch actually charge an extra day or two. Watchface: Now this watch comes with some chooseable watch faces. However by using a separate program, you can build your very own watchface from the ground up! I love it. I have everything that I want to see at a glance on my watch face. The the rest accessible by sub menus. Gps is very accurate and tracks everything well. No complaints here. Now I could go into detail about every feature and be here for another 10 pages but I do believe I have hit the most questions asked and the high points of this watch. If you are doing research on this watch then you already know about all the features it has. In conclusion this watch is now my favorite. it is very comfortable to wear, very usable and just plain wonderful. I have no idea how I have lived life without it. Sad thing is, I now can NEVER go back to a plain old watch like my old Casio. ... show more

  • Easy to use, great features!
Color: Instinct 2 Solar (Graphite) Size: 45 MM Style: Instinct 2 Solar Pattern: Watch
Love the features. The heart rate calculator isn’t as responsive or accurate as I’d like it to be, like if I walk up a flight of stairs it doesn’t update my heart rate immediately. But it’s responsive enough for most fitness uses. Can also be used to connect to other devices (like Peloton or Echelon) to monitor Heart Rate with the “Broadcast Heart Rate” feature, which is awesome! Scrolling through menus is easy with a little practice, and the button shortcuts are highly customizable (single press, press and hold, and combination presses to quickly access different menus, and you can change any of them as desired). Phone alerts show up nicely and are easy to read. Watch faces have many built in options, and all areas can be customized. There are only a couple locations that will display certain values, like heart rate, seconds, and sunrise/sunset… which is a little bit of a bummer if you want them all to show on your main display. But you can only fit so much on a watch face so, I can’t really complain, especially since this is still the MOST customizable watch face ever. Battery life is the best for any smart watch I’ve ever had, I go weeks without charging it even in the Winter where the Solar recharge doesn’t help as much. Overall very pleased, great smart watch. ... show more

  • Awesome watch!
Color: Instinct 2 (Graphite) Non-Solar Size: 45 MM Style: Instinct 2 Pattern: Watch
I have had the watch for 2 weeks now with zero complaints. It does everything I need in a watch and then some. It does a great job of monitoring heart rate and counting steps, and lots of other things I am still learning, like HRV and pulse ox. There are plenty of faces to choose from, and they are all customizable, so that I can have just the data I want on there. For example, the one I am using shows me time, date, weather, battery, heart rate, and steps. The watch itself is very easy to operate, and very easy to see, indoors or outside in sunlight. Battery life is outstanding. Have not charged it since it's initial charging 2 weeks ago, and it shows still 9 days left, and that is with using GPS on average 45 minutes a day while recording my afternoon walk, and recording my morning workout as well (non-GPS workout). and the app is really great! Very easy to use, and find the information I want to see. I can find connections and challanges from the app, and best of all, I don't have to pay for a premium membership (Like some othe fitness apps) to use all of the features. Garmin figures that owning their products is enough, and hey do not nickle and dime you to death. Thank you Garmin! This is my first Garmin, and I believe I will probbaly be a Garmin guy from now on. ... show more

  • Love Battery Life, Accuracy and watch faces
Color: Instinct 2 (Graphite) Non-Solar Size: 45 MM Style: Instinct 2 Pattern: Watch
I returned an apple watch 9, Samsung Galaxy 6 Watch, Fitbit Sense to pick this one. Swapped out its strap to a lightweight fabric strap within first hour of use. I have used it for ~23 hours a day for last 3 weeks with mobile notificatons turned off. This watch is a gem. Measures Steps, HR and Sleep duration well. I am few days away from my 2nd Charge ever. Wish garmin sells these watch with Fabric straps at a nominal price. (1/5th of watch price for a strap is ridiculous) ... show more
