    Love every freaking thing about it (esp the flashlight!) And not even too bulky for a petite woman!!
    5 out of 5 stars
    Love every freaking thing about it (esp the flashlight!) And not even too bulky for a petite woman!!
    My first Garmin watch, and I love it! Yes, it’s definitely a large watch and on the bulky side, but I don’t care at all, and expected that it would be! Doesn’t matter that I’m small-framed/petite - I’ve always preferred men’s watches for their more aggressive profile (I despise “dainty”). As far as appearance, the original band definitely adds to the bulky appearance, and can make longer sleeves and winter coats a little more challenging, and maybe a little less comfortable (though not a huge deal) for sleep. I ended up buying a Garmin hook-and-loop style band ($40!!) that I like better, and then a two-pack of almost identical hook-and-look bands (Abanen Hook and Loop Quick Dry 26 mm Woven Nylon Ultralight Sport Watch Bands) at 75% LESS than the Garmin brand ($21.99 for TWO!!). As far as watch function, I like it a lot. There are many options to customize the watch face with whatever data you want to see (and more you can get via Garmin ConnectIQ app), and some key settings made the difference for me! The watch comes with the brightness set at only 20%, which seemed DARK to me, and very disappointing at first! I’m sure this has to do with battery-saving, but it was just too dark, so I quickly found out how to increase it to 50%, and I’m good with that. Also, you can change the setting so that the screen only lights up when you turn your wrist, so that helps save battery, too (and why would you need it lit up at all times anyway? You can still see the screen when it’s not lit up, so that’s not a big deal at all). Although it’s not a sapphire lens, it is recessed from the bezel, and the glass is supposed to be pretty tough, so I’m good with that. (I tend to be pretty tough on things, so I like sapphire glass when I can get it.) And, perhaps most importantly (not really, but still….) I LOVE THE FREAKING FLASHLIGHT!!! I’d seen a bunch of comments that people had originally thought it was kind of “gimmicky” but then changed their minds when they found out how much they used it, and I am exactly the same!! I NEVER want to wear another watch without a flashlight - like EVER! It is CRAZY handy to have one whenever you need it, which is a lot more often than I thought! I can ever walk through a dark forest path at night and see SO much around me! AND I was able to shovel snow off the dark area of my driveway (going downhill) with ONLY the watch for light!! (And it was even at the correct angle for shoveling, so I didn’t have to hold my wrist at an odd angle or hold my arm up in the air!) LONG REVIEW for those who REALLY need details and need to be convinced to spend the money, but this watch seems like it can’t HELP but last forever, and I have ZERO complaints about it!!

      I've been using the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar in Graphite for a while now, and it's been an outstanding experience. This rugged GPS smartwatch has not only met but exceeded my expectations with its solar charging capability, built-in flashlight, and multi-band GNSS support.

      The solar charging feature is a game-changer. It significantly extends the battery life, ensuring that I rarely have to worry about charging the watch manually. This is incredibly convenient, especially during long hiking trips or outdoor activities where access to power sources is limited. The watch face is designed to maximize exposure to sunlight, efficiently converting it to energy and keeping the watch powered for days on end.

      Durability is a hallmark of the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar. Its rugged build can withstand all kinds of rough treatment, from bumps and drops to extreme weather conditions. I've used it in heavy rain, on dusty trails, and under the scorching sun, and it has performed flawlessly in every scenario. The graphite color not only looks sleek but also masks dirt and wear, keeping the watch looking new.

      The built-in flashlight has proven to be more useful than I initially thought. It's powerful enough to guide me through dark paths during night treks and convenient when I need to find something in my backpack after dusk. This feature adds an extra layer of utility, making the watch an indispensable tool for any adventure.

      As for navigation, the multi-band GNSS support ensures accurate location tracking in even the most challenging environments. Whether I'm in a deep valley, near tall buildings, or under thick canopy, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar maintains a precise signal, giving me confidence in my location and route.

      The user interface is intuitive, and syncing with my smartphone is seamless, providing me with notifications, weather updates, and other essential information. The range of activity tracking features is impressive, from standard fitness metrics to specialized outdoor activities, all accurately monitored and recorded.

      The Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is a top-tier smartwatch that stands out for its solar charging, durability, and precise navigation. It's the perfect companion for anyone who loves the outdoors or needs a reliable timepiece that can handle the rigors of adventure. I highly recommend it to those seeking a rugged, feature-rich smartwatch that won’t let you down.

      I got it 100 days ago and have only charged it 5 times. I've used the GPS and activity tracking for about 125 hours, and ran over 135 miles, including 2 spartan races. The band is very durable and lets me tighten it as much as needed to keep most mud out, though the mud during one race did prevent it from tracking my HR properly for about 10 minutes. The watch itself is also durable, and it's activity tracking is as accurate most other Garmin trackers I've used. The GPS is fairly accurate though it does leave the trail by about 3 meters in the foliage (though you can make it more accurate if you want). The solar panel works very well and the battery lasts far longer than I need. The first charge lasted 32 days (charging at 10-20% battery). In total, in 100 days, I've worn it for all but 10 or so hours (while charging it). The torch is very nice too, though I use it very sparingly as it can rapidly drain the battery. I've found no fault with the watch so far in any activity including swimming, running, biking, HR broadcasting, or cardio (though some activities don't track properly on instinct series watches such as jumping rope). All in all, it's a great buy.

      This is the perfect activity watch/smartwatch for me. It can’t call or text from the watch itself, but those are features I rarely used on my Apple Watch anyway. It’ll still show you if you have a text, call, or any other notification but is geared toward being more of a great activity watch than a phone on your wrist.

      What’s great about this is how jam-packed with features it is. They took a ton of stuff that previously was only available in the fenix and epix watches and brought it to this instinct 2x solar. It has sleep tracking, activity tracking (with customizable screens for each activity), training readiness, heart rate, vo2 max, blood oxygen level, etc. Most apps charge money for the amount of detail this watch and app give you about your day to day and activities, but there’s no subscription on this. It’s all free

      And it constantly checks heart rate. My old Apple Watch would check periodically but you could never glance down and see what the current hr was without tapping on the icon and waiting. With this watch it constantly is reading heart rate and keeps a graph showing the history (which you can have show on the watch face if you want).

      The battery is awesome, something like 40 days with how I have mine set up. And the solar charging actually works. I’ve heard that past versions it didn’t help all too much, but this one it really makes a difference. I added 2 days to my battery life from just a few hours in direct sunlight.

      The only places where this watch is lesser are the display and the navigation. If detailed maps and touch screen/oled screen are important to you, then go with the fenix or epix models. The navigation on this watch can be useful as it includes the trackback feature where it’ll guide you back on the path you came in on, line-of-sight tracking (keeps you on path if you have to go like down in a valley or around an obstacle where you might lose sense of direction), and you can even pre-load courses to follow later. However, it’s a pretty bare-bones navigation map. It has a pointer for your watch and a line showing the path and that’s about it. The epix and fenix watches have nicer displays, color, touchscreen, and more detailed maps which help a lot with navigation but you also sacrifice a significant amount of battery life for those features. And they’re double the price of this one.

      All in all, I think this is the perfect middle point for a watch. It has all the features from the top of the line ones that I need, along with crazy battery life and a decent price. If you don’t need detailed navigation but want great gps and activity tracking at half the cost of some of those other watches, this is a great option.

      Solar Instinct 2x. A real nice watch. A big step up from my original Instinct. Nice big clear watch face. Easy to read, home screen has lots of info. Or you can make it appear analogue. Seems much more accurate than my old original. Seems to track sleep better than my original Instinct. The flashlight is quite something too.

      Absolutamente ÓTIMO!
      Relogio da tudo que promete, com uma bateria que durou mais de 17 dias com todos os aplicativos funcionando! Muito resistente!
      Vale muito a pena!

      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.

      I have tried a few Garmin watches and the Instinct 2X is my favourite. Amazing battery life, large screen and so many activities.
