Happy to help!

Thanks, will do!

Many thanks for that, it is appreciated.

Thanks for the subscribe, it is appreciated.

Thanks for your feedback, sadly this was the first time out with this camera. I have since learned and use a different camera for the close up shots of the watches. I never stop learning.

@@ukgpstraining Awesome and look forward to more spectacular hikes 😀

Yes, you can join a course or route at any point. If I was doing a multiple day hike and you knew where you where going to get to each day you could cut it into those legs. I hope this helps.

Many thanks for your comment. We have sold lots of Garmin Instinct 2 GPS watches over the last few years and not had x 1 back from randonly shutting down, this is the first I have heard of this. I hope this helps.

Thanks. I know that nothing is perfect, but I would really like to have a watch that will last at least long enough to justify the cost. Just watched your instinct 2s video. You really have access to some stunning walks. Happy hiking.

Yes, Mist Grey - gpstraining.co.uk/collections/multi-activity-gps-watch/products/garmin-instinct-2-solar?variant=42387370836186

I did not look at that in detail but I will do next time I am out with it.

Same question here, the Position of the Barometer is the online issue for me with the old instinct

@@ukgpstraining have you tested the altimeter in the last months? Thank you

@@gianmarcobasso4135 Sadly not, loaned the Instinct 2 to a student who is wanting to do some videos about it. When I get it back i will take a closer look.

As you can see in the video, on a bright day in Feb (UK), I was putting one hour of battery life into the watch every 2 hours. I was impressed by that. Exact point in video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msuTl82Kr9-6aY0.html

lol

@@ukgpstraining very nice for a summer and clean day, its not so much if you going to walk 2 or 3 hours, but maybe in like 20 days you can gain 2 days more kinda. Anyways normal Active 2 its cheaper and for normal ppl wont be a difference to not have the Solar charge, since you can charge it later.

Yes, it has both those activities on the watch and records the relevant stats for each of them.

The navigational experience on an Instinct is very similar to an eTrex 10, except you do have an electronic compass on the watch giving a more accurate directional arrow. But the watch has so much more that measures so much about you - heart rate, sleep, body battery etc etc. Fenix 6 then has a colour screen, Topo Active maps and more premium material. If you have a budget for a Fenix 6 why not go for a more high end handheld - gpstraining.co.uk/blogs/reviews/best-handheld-outdoor-gps-unit

@@ukgpstraining was thinking of the Etrex 32x as an alternative.

@@dougdixonhull A good choice, the best 'budget' GPS unit, the Garmin eTrex 32x. I have created a video looking at that category - gpstraining.co.uk/blogs/reviews/best-handheld-outdoor-gps-unit#BESTBUDGETGPS

Hi you can plan a Route on the Garmin Explore App to send to the instinct watch, we also find a lot of customers use other 3rd party apps to plan routes on and then transfer them to the watch using the Garmin Connect App, we hope this helps.

That would only be for running and bile activities (with a power meter)

On android you can change volume, pause/play and go to next track. I would assume the same is true for apple devices.

@@Compot8 Can you reply whatsapp chats by using the clock?

Yes it does give a British Grid Reference.

Thanks for your feedback, we can agree to disagree then. You should always be carrying a paper map with you. I suspect we can both agree with that.

@@ukgpstraining GPS devices and even mobile phones are so reliable these days I can't remember the last time I looked at a map even though I would always carry one.

I’m planning a long walk through a desert. Following waypoints seems ideal to me, I’m not sure what a map would add other than to tell me it’s sand in all directions.

@@rich4716 Which desert are you going to be passing through?

@@ukgpstraining Arabian, the Empty Quarter.
