I have instinct 2x solar for a year now and it took a lot of abuse without any serious damave on it. Only few minor scratches and sometimes I am using it rebuilding cars. Also 30+ days of battery life and the flash light may sound gimmicky but is very handy in a lot of occasions. I am a G sbock fan

Had the same problem on a 2s, worked fine for a year, one day suddenly the battery decided to give up when the night before it was over 50%, did it again on the next charge and so on... contacted garmin support that told me to reset the watch, obviously didn't help so they sent me a new Instinct E,

I can see the advantage of not having to open the watch to replace a battery. Well even a rechargeable battery is just a battery and it will need to be replaced eventually as well. do they hold less charge as they age, and if so are their reserve batteries replaceable? They do hold less charge over

I have a Garmin Instinct 2x, has everything I want/need and looks smart too. The battery is insane and lasts for over a month each charge which is great, I had an Apple Watch years ago and having another device to charge every couple of days was a chore, not only that it allows for better tracking o

Het is al eerder genoemd, maar voor mij ook geen touchscreen meer. Werkt niet lekker in de regen en de batterijduur vond ik erg mager. Nu heb ik sinds twee jaar een garmin instinct 2x solar, met knoppen en een batterijduur van 35 dagen als ie volledig opgeladen is. Verkrijgbaar in twee maten ook nog

Congrats on those nice watches! I’m looking into the instinct 3 tactical. Currently wearing an Fenix 7 pro, it’s a great watch, but bit bulky. Hope the i3 can beat it in battery life and solar charging. And it should weigh less. Wearing my Garmin all day every day, only not when showering. I don’t w

Or try a Garmin watch. They have incredible battery life. I am about to switch and I switched from Apple Watch 10 to Garmin instinct 3 tactical. It’s different but very nice.

I have had both the instinct 50 tactical and the crossover AMOLED. They are just totally different. The I3 is the nicest MIP I’ve ever owned on any brand. Better than Casio. Unless the room is completely dark, you can see the face without backlight. Monochrome and all that but throw back cool. And…t

Sod charging every day.... I have a Garmin instinct 2x solar tactical. Goes around 40 days without a charge and has a built in proper torch which is one of the most useful things I've ever owned. Wife has the Moto watch fit which is very cheap, incredibly comfortable and works great.

A long time ago I had a Forerunner, then moved to Apple Watch, and just a few months ago moved to an Instinct 3 50mm Solar (From a Gen1 AWU). This guy is perfect for running, all the information I need on a run, insights in Garmin Connect later. Very surprisingly light based on its size, battery lif
