Badass Watch!
I've had Garmin watches issued to me in the military before so when it came to the quality of a watch that I wanted, I was looking for something with similar GPS capabilities. The number of features on this watch are awesome and the compass is absolutely spot on! Not to mention the GPS is accurate to 10 digits. This is definitely a watch made for the field.

solar 2 tactical
love this watch. I wear it constantly. It helps me get better sleep, keep track of my steps, record my workouts....this watch is awesome. Learning how to add the data fields I wanted was a little harder than I would have liked but that's better than not getting to choose them at all. I used Polar HR watches for many years, eventually they just wound up lacking in my view. I train with power on my bicycle. I also hike, run, lift weights, use kettle bells. The long strap allows me to put the watch around my ankle so it's out of the way when I do kettle bell snatches, cleans, get ups, passes. I bought the same watches for both of my sons.

An upgrade, but in the wrong direction
The Instinct Tactical 1 was a great and simple watch, the stealth and night vision mode were the primary reasons I bought it. The 2, though an upgrade, moves in the direction that they took the 3: bells and whistles, and "upgraded" features. I think the new screens, navigation, and Garmin IQ functions take this from being a simple rugged Garmin for non-descript wear to some of their more "smart" watches with the intent being phone connectivity and not "tactical" wear. That being siad, it is as rugged as ever, the GPS fixing on the 2 is noticeably faster than the 1, and heart rate monitor and O2 sensor are a plus. My last point: I wish the face customization could have LESS information, similar to the 1. But there are some fields that can't go in other spots and some fields that are always going to be verbose; I would like a blank option for each field so that I don't have a wall of text no matter when I look at the screen. Really it boils down to: I wanted a solar tactical 1, but got the next step down of a solar tactical 3.

Awesome and Lightweight
I previously had the Original Instinct and upgraded to the Instinct 2 Solar. I've always been an Apple watch guy but this watch is freaking great. I pair it with an S24 and it syncs perfectly. I've banged it on everything under the sun without a scratch, dent, or otherwise.

Great Features!
I bought this watch in 2021, and had it Mailed to Compagnieshaven Marina in Enkhuizen, NL. Since that time, it mostly sat, and waited to operate for me. I am a new user, and am enjoying the simplicity of use, etc. Great Watch!

Game changer
Amazing way to track your sleep and overall health. Very customizable and relatively easy to learn. So far it seems very robust and built to last. The tactical features make it perfect for military and LEO use. No complaints from me.

Love My Garmin, But
I've had an Instinct 2 for 4 years now. Overall I love my Garmin. However it does glitch occasionally and will randomly reset to a different time, completely unprompted. Its been happening more and more frequently. A couple years ago, I could not find my charging cord for two weeks. I eventually bought a new one and charged the watch, but the battery life was not the same after. Overall its great and does what I want/need, but its not perfect.
