Garmin Instinct 2X Solar - Tactical Edition, Rugged GPS Smartwatch, Built-in Flashlight, Ballistics Calculator, Solar Charging Capability, Black

Love this watch. Former G-Shock owner, I was looking for an upgrade to something "smart" but hated how fragile most smartwatches are. This feels like it was made for life outdoors. The display is minimal black and white, but in exchange you get ultra-clear visibility in all lighting conditions combined with ultra-long battery life. With everything turned on and up to my convenience, 75% charge estimates 14 days of life. Turning off some of the fancier features extends life to 30+ days. The 2 >X< has the light built into it and it's so incredibly convenient to have both a low red light and a variable intensity flashlight on your wrist. Activates with a double-tap of the shoulder button so it's never out of reach. I don't have big wrists at all but the 2X bezel size still sits comfortably on both sides of my wrist. Notifications are easy to set up and configure, the Garmin apps are easy to set up and configure, and don't ask for a subscription fee. It doesn't do group chat notifications well, it doesn't do Discord notifications too well, but it notifies you nonetheless which is what I want. The vibrate is strong and helps me to wake up in the morning. The audible alarm isn't super loud but the vibrate strength makes up for it. There's a lot of very clever programming that make this a joy to own - the navigation tools alone are quite powerful (eg. Sight 'N Go). Maps are a little tricky to wrap your head around at first, but breadcrumbs are pretty intuitive once you get going. Garmin maps/trails app is loaded with pre-configured breadcrumb trails. For my casual fitness needs it's more than adequate, but as a daily driver and watch wearer I can't recommend this enough. Absolutely superb, and I consider myself a critic. Never during the 30-day return period did I consider parting with it.

So I previously owned the $300 Garmin Vivoactive 3 HR. The first year I was in love and obsessed with fitness. They have a 1 year warranty. WELL just after the 1 year mark my band broke...on the watch head, cheap plastic. Support didn't do anything to help. So I used a soldering iron to melt it back together. Slowly the 2nd, 3rd, AND 4TH connector on the watch head broke off. I created a live social media event smashing my watch to pieces with a hammer. Also spent about 3 years wearing my broken, melted watch negatively attacking all Garmin posts and social media. I hated them with a passion. Haha anyways moving forward, I decided to give this a shot since comparable brands didn't match up. Couldn't be happier. It's actually notably durable, I've never needed to connect my cell phone (which I prefer). Looks awesome, tracks all my fitness stats and I have a historical record on the watch of it all. With all the health features enabled and no smart features turned on, battery lasts like a month. Turn off consistent smart OX recordings it lasts 40+ days. The solar feature is nice, you'd think with me getting 15k steps outdoors every day you'd never need to charge but it still slowly depletes. Coolest functional feature for a dude, it has a flashlight! I'd recommend it, but if one of the bands breaks, Garmin better keep a lookout for me because I'd probably do something that would wind me up in jail.

Rugged and capable watch with an incredible battery life and a ton of features. Upgraded from the garmin instinct tactical edition and what an upgrade it is.

Two months in, and I'm loving this daily wear. I have a large watch collection, but wear this tool watch every day because it reminds me to do my daily workouts, track my progress, and learn about more features every week or so. If I was a hiker, the GPS and crazy long charge, with solar recharging, would make it the life insurance policy you didn't know you needed. Even as someone who sleeps at home and doesn't want to turn on the light and disturb my partner, the built-in flashlight is fantastic. It is used daily. Home screen layouts are flexible, easy to change and the app on my phone synchronizes automatically, allowing me to easily see calendar items on my phone.

Vengo de un Polar Vantage M y ha sido un gran salto. Muchas funciones y gran opción de personalización. Es resistente y fácil de usar una vez te aprendes los botones, los cuales también son configurables.

Underbar klocka!

Me gusto mucho La bateria le dura 18 25 dias con las siguientes funciones, frecuencia cardiaga siempre activa. seguimiento de sueño, uso de actividades de 3 a 6 becs por semana usando funciones de pesas y caminata incluyendo ciclismo y trekkin con GPS(solo GPS, se pueden usar todos los sistemas pero consume mas bateria aunque es mas preciso). le dura un poco menos con el bluethoot conectado al telefeno. La lampra es super util y solo la tiene el fenix 7 mas caro y este instinct 2X que es el tope de gama de la serie. No tiene mapas GPS pero en realidad no los nesecito. Trae carga solar que es muy util si haces actividades al aire libre en dias soleados (se ve la carga de la bateria despues de una hora y media o dos, dependiendo la intensidad solar) Tiene muchas funciones facil de usar y configurar, en general es un muy buen reloj, no esperaba menos de esta marca.

Nach wie vor eine gute Uhr. Die Akkulaufzeit ist der Hammer! Und die Lichtfubktion war für mich ein Gamechanger.

Vengo de un Apple Watch 8, no lo extraño para nada. Si eres de los que contestan llamadas desde el reloj o si no puedes presindir de la pantalla touch en definitiva este no es para ti; de lo contrario quedarás más que satisfecho. La duración de la batería excelente, desde que me llegó van 15 días y aún no he tenido que cargarlo. Notificaciónes excelentes, datos de deporte (utilizo pesas, ciclo indoor, ciclo outdoor, caminar, carrera cinta, carrera exterior) excelente. Los materiales se sienten 100% de calidad y robustos. La linterna led con intensidad ajustable está perfecta. La opción de luz estroboscopica al correr está excelente. Me compré el color Grafito (que es grisaseo); como se ve en las imagenes. Mucho que decir, totalmente satisfecho.
