Garmin Instinct 2S Solar, Smaller-Sized GPS Outdoor Watch, Solar Charging Capabilities, Multi-GNSS Support, Tracback Routing, Graphite, 40 MM

I have been using the watch for a while and quite like it. It is easy to use and its battery lasts at least 10 days. Its accuracy seems okay, however my resting heart rate seems a bit low. The only thing I wish it can improve is to automatically track activities as sometimes I forgot to start/stop/pause the watch during hiking.

This is my fourth Garmin watch. I have the Fenix 5X, 6X, 6S, but I have to say, the Instinct 2 Solar Tactical is my favourite.

I've bought the same Timex Expedition model watch for at least 20 years. Simple, rugged, with just the features I wanted and little more. I did try a wearable monitor (very early Fitbit) years ago and found it a curiosity but not worth the charging hassle or having to wear something along with my watch. Recently though, now that I'm over 65, I've thought more about tracking health elements, especially as I would like to stay active as long as possible. I did lots of research on the new technology options. Soooo many out there. I narrowed it by some criteria: needs to be as much like my old Expedition as possible, meaning - can be worn all the time (in shower, hot tub, swimming, sleeping, exercising, doing yard work); has long battery life; is easily readable; rugged; easy to use push buttons to see various screens (not swiping on screen). I am more than happy with the Instinct 2S! I got the 40mm as I don't like a big watch face on my wrist. The band fit my 180mm wrist (but near the last hole). Everything about using it has been easier than I feared. Garmin's software connects easily to my watch and I can track all the things I care about. Battery life is sensational! It says 21 days possible, and maybe so with sun and less use for special purposes, but I've still gotten 17-18 days out of a single charge. I don't use GPS except rarely (for outdoor tennis tracking). I don't want a watch to be a phone (this isn't), and appreciate I can tailor and limit what kinds of messaging it notifies me of. I customized my screen to be simple, showing just a few things I care to see. Easy to read. I've learned a great deal about my sleep patterns and heart rates I didn't know. Can't say how accurate it is but feels reflective of what I thought anyway. So for me, two months in, this appears a great compromise between a regular sports watch and a very smart one. Hope it keeps me this happy for years to come! (Thanks to other reviewers who helped guide my decision.) 5-MONTH UPDATE: Now after using the watch in so many different scenarios, I am equally as enthusiastic about it, if not more. Given some of the edits to the main face (through Connect IQ), such as adding a constant heart rate display, I think I've reduced the battery life a bit, but still getting two weeks easy between charges. (I don't think the solar part charges much at all). The watch and the easy-to-use Garmin app helped me medically when I was playing tennis and couldn't get my heart rate down. I was able to send a graph from the app of the 45-minute period to my doctor. She ordered a more sensitive medical-grade monitor system to wear for 2 weeks. Turned out to be nothing systemic, thankfully, and probably due to a tooth infection I hadn't known about, but the watch now gives me a way to monitor in real time, just in case. Hassle free for all my normal activities, and the sleep monitor has been very revealing of my habits.

Me encantó!!!, El tamaño es para muñeca delgada, color está muy padre, funciones prácticas y tiene para varios deportes, la batería dura para 21 días y va avisando cuantos días le queda, cumplió mis expectativas.

The item was delivered on time. In fact, it arrived few days earlier. Sufficient feature for me who just wants a wearable that can measure HRV, HR and sleep score.
