Great Watch
This is my first Garmin watch so there was a small learning curve. Once I learned how to navigate the menus using the watch, it became second nature. I enjoy using it. You can customize the watch to show exactly what you want. The Connect app is better than the Fitbit one I had been using. This is a minimalist watch that does exactly what I want and has a very long battery - nearly a month. I had considered an Apple watch, but those require daily charging and owning an iPhone. The only downside is that since I bought the watch in the graphite color the button legends are hard to see and took a few days to learn. I would definitely buy this watch again.

Disappointed in the "upgrade"
I purchased the 2S, and due to inconsistent readings, contacted Garmin who helped with an exchange. I went with the 2, as my previous watch was the Instinct, and I liked the size. I continue to have issues with inconsistent readings on my preferred wrist. Customer Service suggested my tattoo could be interfering with reads. My tattoo is one simple word. And, I wear it on the non-preferred wrist, it is in my way. It is more consistent, which is interesting, as I have a tattoo on this wrist also. I did not have these issues with Instinct. So, be cautious if you have ink.
I like the features of the Instinct, I simply wish it was consistent in readings.

Great Functionality and Look
I bought this about a month ago and am loving the various features that the watch and app offer. You know you're not getting a fully functioning touchscreen, but the button functionality is way easier to navigate than I anticipated. There was not much of a learning curve at all for me to start workouts or runs or set up the features the way I wanted them. I have not yet found much value in the widgets through the ConnectIQ, but it is good to know that the Instinct2 has those features available (unlike the Instinct1). We have done lots of runs and bootcamp-style workouts, and the heart rate and tracking for maps is very smooth.

So much information and more
I have a Garmin InReach+ for hiking and safety. But realized after 5 days on the Rouge River my previous activity tracker battery did not last the trip. So I wanted something that would last for my next trip. Since I was so happy with my InReach+ I decided to stay with the brand and I knew they would work together at some level. I am still figuring out a lot of things but at least this time I am working with it slowly but surely. I have yet to set up the feature that if I have a fall they will notify help but that is awesome!! Every time I am amazed by a feature I find another aspect of the watch.

Awesome Watch
I've been wearing this watch everyday for about a month. And I love it. I love the display, granted it's not as "flashy" as some of the other options. Everything is very easy to see, I love that the heart rate is constantly monitoring and I love the layout of the home page. The display is easy to see in any level of brightness. I've used the running, stair master, pickleball, and snowboarding activities. I didn't realize the amount of information it would gather while doing certain activities, which was a pleasant surprise. I needed a tough watch for my job, anxious to see how well this watch holds up.

Best Smart Watch for the Budget.
I had the Forerunner 735XT. The Instinct 2 is a way more advance watch. I love the HRV data and sleep data. Great watch to monitor your recovery. I tried the Whoop band for a month and it was nice to see all the data but it was not worth the monthly subscription. This watch is easy to use, battery life is excellent and I can track the sports that matter to me. The only thing I wish this watch could do is to track my naps. They should add NAPS as another activity to track. Overall is great watch for the price and it looks awesome. I’ve been asked a few times what kind of watch Im wearing.

Rugged Watch, but App Needs Improvement
I work as a receiver/stocker with heavy freight and ever since my Apple Watch got way too beat up at my job I was hesitant on buying another smartwatch. I finally decided on this one and I have to say I’m very impressed. I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks and so far the only thing that happens is the face of the watch gets messy looking but I just wipe it with an alcohol wipe and it’s good as new. The silicone band or any part of the watch hasn’t even been marked up at all which is great. I’m not a huge fan of the Garmin Connect app, especially the fact that it doesn’t seem to connect with any of my Apple Apps like fitness or health but maybe it would be better if I had an Android.

easy to read in dim light
I have had this watch for about 3 weeks now. I can compare it to the original instinct and the newer 2x. The readout seems easiest to see in dim light.
It is easy to use with the same type learning curve as the other instincts. More battery life than the original. Gives me a morning report (like the 2x). Customizing the data screens is wonderful and it locks on satellites nicely.
Feels noticeably lighter and smaller than the 2x.
I like it a lot and will use it mainly for day hikes in the backcountry on vague trails and for bushwhacking.......
For longer trips I will use the 2x and the original instinct is now my backup to this one.
Very nice there Garmin!........
