GarminInstinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition Rugged GPS Smartwatch, Black

Really nice and light, tough, and comfortable. I chose this over the more expensive models for its superior battery life and ideal dimensions (for me): this watch is as large as I can go without it being clumsy or just looking silly. I'm very unlikely to use any watch for navigation and I didn't want to pay to duplicate too many features I already have in my phone.There's a bit of a learning curve and I still haven't bottomed it, but it's very well configured out of the box. I like the app, and measurements straight away inspire confidence.I should mention that I bought this to replace a G-Shock GBD-H2000, that I simply cannot get along with!With a bit of a discount, I think this watch is something of a no-brainer if you want a tough, fitness smart watch and you're happy with the tactical looks. Personally I rather like it, and I'm glad I paid the extra few quid for one with 'Tactical' written on it! :-D

This is an excellent watch with many functions. Battery life is about a month without needing to be plugged in especially if you live in a warm sunny climate. Might be less in the UK but not tried it there. It is fully waterproof so can be used when swimming in both a pool & the sea. Swim function sometimes lags a little but eventually catches up.

Comfortable multi purpose watch. Has taken me a while to work out how to use it. Battery life is excellent and charges when I'm outside. I've only done 1 charge so far. Have recorded a bike ride and swim workout so far. Works really well. Pairs up easily with phone. Not used it for paying for things yet. Initially have messages on but got annoyed with notifications so now turned off. Easy to fathom out.Vibrating alarm lasts 5 minutes. Brilliant for waking me up every morning. ( Have a hearing loss so it's quite difficult to wake up with a conventional alarm) But this this watch is excellent.

I bought this for my husband, he uses it to track his run. It works really well, however he seems to have reacted to the metal or sensor on the back of the watch. His skin gets sore after wearing it for a while.

Great watch for dad who's obsession has gone the way of running over brisket. Enough street cred (brand recognition) and real value (ie long battery life, useful features, water proof) to keep any dad in his late 40's looking like a guy who thinks he's in his late 30's.

Robust build quality. Very comfortable to wear all day long. The amount of functionality is incredible. The best thing about the watch is without a doubt, the battery life 🤩

I have been searching for a smartwatch with a long battery life for quite some time now, and I have finally found one that fits the bill - even though it has a monochrome screen. This watch has everything I was looking for, and then some. One of my favorite features is the accurate counting of pool lengths, which is incredibly helpful, and I also appreciate being able to see the real-time solar charge when I'm outside. There are many other great features I could mention, but I think you get the point.

BIT MORE THAN I USUALLY PAY FOR A WATCH BUT GOT IT ON A PRIME DAY DEAL SO SAVED A BIT AND IT HAS PLENTY OF FUNCTIONS WHICH I LIKE AND ONLY NEEDS CHARGED EVERY 8-10 DAYS OR SO UNLESS I USE THE GPS FUNCTION WHICH I SOMETIMES DO WHEN RUNNING OUTSIDE ( GPS FUNCTION USES LOTS OF BATTERY SO MOSTLY HAVE IT TURNED OFF ) I LIKE THE FUNCTIONS AND I DON'T NEED TO CHARGE IT EVERY 2-3 DAYS
