Instinct 2S Solar Rugged GPS Smartwatch, Graphite

I bought this as a gift for my 11 year old son and it’s perfect, it’s a perfect size (being the 2s model) and it does everything he wants in a watch, we also bought the solar model for longer battery life, he’s had it nearly a month and only had to charge it once, so definitely worth the extra £ in my opinion. Very happy customer

Fantastic watch!! I bought the all singing all dancing Fenix 8 43mm and sent it back. The instinct 2s isn’t trying to pretend it’s anything it isn’t. It’s rugged. Gives you the stats and isn’t in your face! Proper adventure watch. I love it. Plus it’s a lot cheaper. Even better I got an opened box one so was cheaper again! Bargain.

Having used a very inexpensive smart watch to see if I would make use of one, and found it useful. I treated myself to a more expensive one that I could use when swimming and one that would map my walking routes. The watch was easy to set up and the related app straight forward to download and use. I will mainly use it to record, Pool and open water swimming, Treadmill, walking and kayaking. Pros / improvements from my cheap and cheerful: It is designed to use when swimming and will log both open water and pool swimming It distinguishes between Treadmill and normal running/ walking. Easy to save my favourite activities from the large list of options available, so they are easy to access when needed Starting, stopping and pausing an activity is quite straight forward. Notifications are relatively easy to read and scroll through Battery life is reasonable Now to the Cons Because I have chosen the smaller faced option as I wear it 24/7 they have used a very short watch strap, it just fits, but if I gained any weight I would have to buy another strap. It is not only children that want a smaller watch face adults with adult sized wrists like a smaller face too!! It would be really nice if we could customise the settings and layout from the app more as it is quite fiddly to reorder lists etc on the watch itself. Garmin Pay does not work with either of my cards, says cards not set up for contactless, even though they are! and they work from my phone This is extremely annoying The recorded moving / active time and distance covered for both Treadmill and pool swimming are extremely inaccurate

Item bought as a gift and he seems really happy with it. Arrived well before due date so more than happy.

Great product and customer experience

The opposite of intuitive, makes no sense, looks like a cheap child’s watch. Very disappointed.

Very nice watch with amazing battery life. The solar charging works but only adds a minimal amount and not really worth the extra money biggest problem and why i ended up returning it is the very short watch strap i was using it on the last hole. i can understand garmins thinking small watch = small wrist but therers a lot of people out there that simply want a tough normal size smart watch and aren't bothered about following the ridiculous huge smart watch trends. Such a shame

This watch is designed to be small to accommodate small wrists but the strap is very short and it's possible that it will not fit you regardless to what the specs say. Try to buy a replacement longer strap is almost impossible unless you want to pay Garmin prices (£40 +) mine is 155mm and I have to have it on the 3rd last hole with nothing to tuck in. The watch itself has lots of features sometimes too many
