I love it
I was hesitant because of the gps navigation being only a follow the line route but after using it for a couple of backpacking trips and every day use all the features that this watch has surely make it worth it. I was also worried that the lack of touch screen would be annoying but after just a few uses I'm glad I went with the button press. The solar charging is really nice especially for Backcountry navigation it makes it so I almost never worry about running out of battery and on multiple occasions I've gotten back to my truck after a trip and noticed that the watch was more charged than I had started. Overall I love this watch and would recommend.

Perfect watch for me!
I have not worn a watch in over 16 years. All the watches that I have had in the past were heavy, and had no options.
I started looking at the Garmin watches after I bought my Garmin InReach Mini 2. When I first saw the Instinct 2X, and felt how light it was, and all the options it had, I was hooked!
Being an outdoorsman, I really liked having the altimeter, weather, step count, time, and the date, all on one watch face! Oh, I forgot to mention the sunrise and sunset times also!
This watch has so many options anyone can customize it to their own way of life.
This is another great product from Garmin and I realized, this is the perfect watch for me!

Nice features, okay battery, poor instructions
Garmin really doesn't do well in explaining what any of their biometrics really mean, and what they use to compute them. Why is this so difficult for them? And the vo² max is not as simple to get as it is on my much cheaper vivoactive 3.
The battery life for me after 3 weeks with the watch is about a week before recharging. I use the lowest power GPS setting for about 9 hours during that week. Obviously it is not summer now, and I wear long sleeves, so the solar isn't doing its job now.
I do like the look, and the flashlight. That's a win. It could be 5 stars if only they had an explainer video, or documentation, not on HOW to use the watch, but WHY.

Great Fitness tracker and navigating watch
I bought this last year and have been using it daily I also have an Apple Watch Ultra which I prefer but I cannot have a smart watch where I work so this is my alternate watch at work so I can track my steps I mainly use this during the week and switch to my Apple Watch on the weekends. It tracks sleep really good and also monitors everything the Apple Watch does. I also like that it has a 40+ day battery life my Apple Watch is like 36 hours so no comparison there I also had the Garmin Epic before this one but couldn't have that at work so I switched to this watch it is a really good watch and would recommend it to anyone needing a smart watch with less features.

Pretty awesome
I am coming from an old Casio G-shock.. This feels pretty close to taking the spirit of the G-shock and putting brains in it. I love the solar - I'm going on a full month of usage and finally need to plug it in. If I spent more time outside, I could see it going for 6 weeks or more on a single wall charge. The watch is great for running/hiking. It is decent at strength training, but you can tell the algorithms don't work as well for it. I can do a 40 min strenuous leg exercise and it thinks I'm fully ready to go the next day without any rest needed. But a 40 min run needs 30+ hours of recovery. Hopefully that is something that can be tweaked in the future.

Great Smart Watch
I just got this watch a few weeks ago and I really haven’t had to charge it. I am currently on the road and changing time zones is easy. Hit the GPS. The workout options are great and accurate. It’s very comfortable to wear. I have recommended it to several people already. I love not having to charge it everyday. It’s just like a real watch only better.
It tracks extremely well. I love the review of the workouts on the Garmin Connect App. It gives me what I need to see my progress. Again, the workouts available are very good, as I do a variety of workouts.
I do wish that it would give you VO2 Max for a walk or hike. That’s my only minor issue.
Love it!

Instinct 2x solar
After much deliberation over deciding to replace my GShock solar watch that I’ve worn everyday for 12 years and after doing a lot of research on weather to upgrade to smartwatch concept. I must say this Instinct 2x Solar is so far everything advertised. Love the design with 50mm size. It’s like having my old GShock but on a larger grander scale. The battery life with the solar charging is excellent. I haven’t had to plug watch in to charger since initially received from purchase. So many features are offered not sure what all I will use on this watch but so far I am extremely satisfied with this upgrade. I still have to give a shout out to my old reliable GShock solar.
