The watch can take a beating and keep working!

The watch has been banged up, but there are no scratches or other issues. I have had to reset the watch once or twice, but that happens to any computer device.

Very easy to use.

so far watch has performed as i would expect a Garmin product to perform. Battery life has been beyond what i expected lasting a couple weeks even using GPS regularly. Ties in with my phone and Rhino also which was another +

Great watch / Sup-par App Connectivity

I bother this a few weeks back. I picked this watch for the ability to integrate workouts and to connect with my GPS transponder. The altimiter, barometer, compass, GPS, etc are great. Sadly, I am disappointed with the functionality of the workout app. The menu-navigation and workout navigation itself on the watch is not intuitive at all. There are also some disappointing drawbacks to the features: If you miss a workout, it is largely impossible to reschedule your workouts to avoid skipping the missed workouts. If Garmin got the UI figured out, this combo would be fantastic.

Lots of features

I bought this as a recommended device for training there is a lot of customization that can be done. As someone who doesn't typically wear watches, this one is very minimal while still providing lots of stuff and the battery life is great the solar charging capabilities really help when I forget to charge it.

Still Learning Features

Overall I am enjoying my Instinct 2 Solar Tactical. I received it as a gift. The only issue I have is getting used to accessing its features. That is more on me than the watch.

Great watch - Instinct 2 Solar - Tactical

I've had this watch for 5 weeks. Never had a "Smart Watch" previously. While it was not the easiest to set up (I think the term is feature rich) I think it is probably where I can use it. It provides value for me, I like it, there's no buyer's remorse, and I am wondering what took me so long. Don't wait!!! Buy the watch

Epic Watch!

After previously owning a Instinct 1 Solar Tac, this is an AMAZING upgrade. The solar charging works great, the heart rate appears to be more accurate (when compared with the Garmin chest hr), and the sleep score feature is fantastic. Everything about this watch is great!

Great everyday watch

Acquired this as an upgrade from my Casio for some additional capabilities, huge fan of the feel, look, and ease of use.
