  • Best watch for military
Style: Tactical Color: Coyote Tan
I am currently in the Middle East. And if you are watching the news you know what that means. After a building was hit by two TBM, and power was cut. I was able to not only use the watch to render care by the time, and heart rate on it. Was able to help people box breathe, check BPM, and HR. The light work performed very well helping guild people out of the building and help me make a light thought smoke. This watch made my job as a corpsman 10x easier. Battery life is amazing. If you work outside this watch will basically charge itself. The running mode is amazing and pretty accurate as well. ... show more

  • Will offer more day to day utility than you expect
Style: Tactical Color: Coyote Tan
I wasn't sure where to start, but I have to say this is the coolest and most useful gadget I've purchased in a long time.. It’s far more than a fun toy (which is what I expected); it provides high-level utility for daily life. I'm genuinely impressed by the functionality, especially the built-in flashlight, the navigation capabilities, and the outstanding solar-powered battery life. This has become a must-have piece of gear for me. Sad I waited so long to try one out! ... show more

  • As good as it gets.
Style: Tactical Color: Coyote Tan
This is a great watch. Set up is much easier with some YouTube tutorials but you’ll get it pretty fast. Great design and comfortable to wear. This is a move up from Garmins Vivioactve 5. Night and day. The Instinct is a fantastic watch.

  • Has taken a 2+ year licking and still keeps on ticking… Has taken a 2+ year licking and still keeps on ticking…
I was in the market for a ‘smart G-shock” watch but was very disappointed that one meeting my needs didn’t exist. I saw the Instinct 2X solar and decided to buy my first Garmin device ever. After 2+ years of traveling the world and not babying this watch, I am happy to say this watch is easily my favorite watch ever and has performed amazingly if not perfectly. I wanted a tough watch ✅, solar charging ✅, heartbeat and sleep monitor ✅✅, world time capability ✅, step counter✅; the sports modes and GPS modes were a bonus and I’d never thought I’d use them until quite recently. I can not tell you how many people I’ve impressed with just the flashlight alone. It took me 2+ years to find the GPS tracking useful until I realized I can use it to precisely pinpoint the gravesites of deceased relatives in the cemeteries. I saved each location in the watch and it leads directly back when I go visit to pay my respects. No more playing “I think it’s over here” with my cousins and siblings when we visit our deceased ancestors. This watch has been all over the world with me including the beach and ocean in Neves and the jungles of Costa Rica. It’s scratched up, dinged, been immersed in fresh and salt water and still keeps working. The battery life is awesome, up to 41 days on a full charge in smart watch mode but this is the only criticism I have about this watch. My previous EDC solar G-shock watch was 100% solar, no charging or battery changes needed. The instinct 2X solar claims unlimited power with 3+ hours of direct sunlight but I find I need to charge the watch about once a month for a few hours which isn’t bad (compared to an Apple Watch) but it’s not 100% solar powered. I’m considering the instinct 3 solar but the only potential deal maker for me to give up the instinct 2X solar is if the instinct 3 solar is 100% solar, no external charging needed. All in all, I love this watch! It’s 99% perfect in my opinion. If it was 100% solar, then it would be perfect. ... show more

  • Great watch
Style: Tactical Color: Coyote Tan
This watch has it all. It takes a bit to figure out all that it can do. The color is great. It’s easy to set up and get connected. Has many health functions. It is perfect for the outdoor enthusiasts. My husband is in the woods and hiking a lot. He loves it!

  • Love this watch!

I love this watch! It looks great on & seems accurate. It’s easy to read. There are multiple options for the face of the watch. The battery lasts a good month before recharging is necessary.

  • Really great smart watch
Style: Tactical Color: Coyote Tan
Always buying the latest gadgets for the hubs & this one looked like a good birthday gift. He is not tech savvy whatsoever, so I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to learn a new thing, but he loves it so much he wears it every day & tells me how much he loves it almost as often!

  • a good tough do it all outdoor watch
Style: Tactical Color: Coyote Tan
I received my Garmin quickly and was impressed by the quality of the watch. I got it mainly for sports tracking and heart monitor use. The heart monitor is ok but it liked the one on galaxy better. It does the job when you get used to it but its a little flaky at first to get used to. I got the tactical model because of the price and it seems to be worth the price even though i wont use most of the tactical features for ammo etc. I wondered about the rubber strap but its better than a stiffer plastic one because of contact with your wrist for the heart monitor and other functions. It was a little harder for me to set and I did manage to lock it up once which was frustrating to say the least, But I stuck with it and once your past the learning curve things get better. the instructions are not that good but thank God for Google which makes things much easier. If the Garmin had not been for sale and I bought it I would probably have sent it back due to my frustration level trying to set it up. One thing you'll like is the battery endurance level this thing has. Its chargeable through the included charging cable plus its solar chargeable which is one of the better systems out there. Its big (50mm) which seems huge until you notice it weighs nothing at all! and then you don't feel it at all. For those military men or pretend military men its a great piece of gear that should last many seasons of out door activity. Aside from its draw backs which won't bother many I think if you can find it on sale then get one because of its phenomenal battery life then youll grow to appreciate its many functions and features. ... show more
