This durable smartwatch with GPS and solar charging is tough enough to accompany you everywhere and unique enough to match your style.
The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar is designed for those seeking a rugged and functional smartwatch for their outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, climbing, and swimming.
This durable watch features water resistance up to 100 meters as well as resistance to temperature and shocks. Additionally, its frame made from fiber-reinforced polymer and the chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass lens make this device designed to withstand.
Longer duration than ever, with solar charging you have unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode. Additionally, power management allows you to extend battery life by controlling settings and sensors that consume energy.
Whether you are hiking, mountain biking, trail running, or skiing, you can access multiple global satellite navigation systems (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) for recording in more demanding environments than with GPS alone.
Navigate your next trail with sensors that include an altimeter for elevation data, a barometer for weather monitoring, and a 3-axis electronic compass.
When you have connected your phone to your watch, your current location can be sent to your contacts manually or (during outdoor activities) automatically with the built-in incident detection feature.
Avoid queues at the checkout with the Garmin Pay contactless payment solution through selected partners.
Do what you love with the preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming, strength training, indoor climbing, virtual running, golf, yoga, pilates, and more.
Train smarter with the maximum oxygen uptake VO2max, a performance indicator. It adapts to mountain running and takes into account performance changes that may result from heat or altitude.
For training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account, receive daily suggestions for running and cycling based on your current exercise load and training status.
Record the details of every descent with mountain bike measurements, as well as specialized Grit™ and Flow™ metrics, which rate the difficulty of each trail and how smoothly you descended it, giving you a score to beat next time.
Optimize your body's energy reserves by using heart rate variability, stress, sleep, and other data to measure when you are ready to be active or if you need rest.
For altitude acclimatization or sleep monitoring, the pulse oximeter sensor uses light beams on your wrist to estimate how well your body absorbs oxygen.
Get a complete analysis of your sleep stages (light, deep, REM). See it all in a specialized app that includes your sleep score and tips

Very good smartwatch. Wide range of information and activities. Its battery lasts 14 days, not bad, but I would expect a longer duration due to solar charging. I hope that with more sunshine, the solar charging will prove useful.
I got it on Black Friday of 23
by August of 24, two buttons have broken and it is at Garmin for replacement
First of all, it is NOT a smartwatch, in the sense of being an extension of a smartphone. This particular wristwatch can be set to ring and/or vibrate for incoming calls, messages, and notifications from the mobile phone, as well as offer the ability to read them, but that's about it. And of course, as a watch intended for those who swim in the sea or dive (spearfishing), it does not have a microphone/speaker.
Furthermore, it is a wristwatch mainly aimed (if not exclusively) at those who are moderately to highly involved in sports and outdoor activities. Through the relevant application (Garmin Express), one can download countless apps and install about 10 of them (due to memory limitations) in addition to the ones already installed. Also, through the relevant smartwatch or pc application (Garmin Connect), one can monitor countless parameters of these apps.
Its battery, with normal use of the watch, with the smart heart rate measurement function activated (not continuous), with the pulse oximeter activated only during sleep, and with the temperature measurement constantly activated, lasts about 11 to 12 days. However, if GPS is activated, the duration is greatly reduced.
Its screen is monochrome and does not have high resolution, resulting in its graphics being marginally satisfactory.
Solar charging has positive results only if one is at the beach for 2 - 3 hours or driving with their hand exposed to the sun. Otherwise, no, you won't forget to charge it.
In conclusion, it is a smartwatch that is mainly aimed (as mentioned earlier) at those who are moderately to highly involved in sports and outdoor activities. If someone is more of a couch and TV person, it doesn't offer them (almost) anything at all. The 4 "stars" are for the level of resolution and clarity of the screen.
I am very satisfied as I did not want rich graphics on the watch to go for a more expensive option. For more advanced display functions, there is the application that offers many. It does OTA updates, the long battery life is valid, and the measurements are quite reliable.
Garmin Pay with an alpha card works fine (it requires unlocking once a day), but for some reason, I had to call alpha bank to unlink the card from other electronic wallets as it failed to pass it.
A note: Because some reviews talk about the gimmick of solar charging, I have had the watch for almost a year and solar charging is not just a gimmick. It maintains the battery just fine if you expose it to the sun as it says.

No matter how good it is as a watch in general, the gimmick of solar charging makes it lose 2 stars.
If you want solar charging, get a gshock. I won't say that I regretted buying it, but if I could turn back time, I would get the non-solar version and save 100 euros.
Take a deep breath and read the most comprehensive review of all instinct 2 (in English). The guy mentions EVERYTHING. He also compares the GPS and heart rate sensors on the same routes with Venu, fenix, epix, with other companies and with a heart rate strap. You really won't need to read anything else, especially if you are also an owner of instinct 1
