Very interesting review, thanks! I just ordered the Instict 2 solar, it seems to be the perfect combination of a solid GPS watch and a rugged g-shock.

Very nice review :) I've bought the 2x Solar and I absolutely love it. I use it to track my hikings, walkings and gym sessions

I have the same tweek...sort of...mine just starts vibrating until I turn it off. And you must of got a good battery cause mine stopped charging after a year. Now I go 36 hours in between charges. Think I need a new battery or I need to figure out what setting I have on that needs to be turned off. Thanks for the review.

I’ve had the same experience.

The Garmin Instinct is a fantastic watch and function wise pretty much the holy grail of any digital watch lover. However, the design has become boring and is completely outdated, Garmin needs to make something really cool sci-fi/retro/futuristic looking (take a look at the Timex Command Shock for a good example), something in a rectangular 16:9 widescreen format. And please get rid of that stupid circle in the upper right corner it is entirely pointless in a MIP watch and WAY too much Casio'ish (G-Shock'ish).

I’ve read another reviews that the instinct has a problem with random shutdowns. You ever experienced this? Guessing you would’ve mentioned it in the review, but thought I’d ask. Also, is that an aftermarket watchband? If so, where do you get it? Can you put in a link? Thanks, enjoyed the review.

I put the link for the bands in, definitely the comfiest I had. And nope, never had problems with random shut downs, thank God.

I like how beat the watch is. Gives it character. You get many scratches on the screen?

@Sparky_Mark Ай бұрын

Thanks, I love it. Not really any scratches.. The outside plastic that encompasses the screen keeps it far enough away that it doesn't really scratch. There is a ton of little spots on it from sparks, when I was using a metal grinder. Since then, I've learned to rotate the watch so that it's on the inside of my wrist while doing that. haha

Awesome I wear the 2x solar tactical on the inside of my wrist, the only problem I'm have is the watch seems to disconnect alot randomly
