    Great watch , i have Apple ultra as well as many others, this watch has the features you need without the heavy price, giving up cell on the ultra for 30 days to infinite power supply is an easy offset.. a smart watch with features, flashlight etc.. garmin has nailed it!!

    This is a fantastic upgrade to my original Garmin Instinct Tactical! Super intuitive controls and it looks awesome too! Oh yeah, Garmin knocked this one out of the park!

    The battery life on the watch is incredible and more features than you’ll ever use. Durable and the built-in flashlight 🔦 is so so handy.

  5. Frank

    The battery life on this watch is incredible, after a full charge and two weeks of wearing it still has 28 days remaining. I really like this watch.

    I couldn’t be happier with my Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical watch. I does everything I want and more. The exercise tracking, sleep metrics and body battery reporting provide me such great information about my health & fitness journey. As a CrossFitter for over 10 years, this is the first wearable that includes HIT clocks so I can choose from AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata or custom timers. I’m also very comfortable with wearing the watch during all activities due to its durability. I also love how all of my activity syncs with my iPhone though the Garmin Connect App and migrates into the Apple Health & Fitness App. It allows me to see all the data in different ways as well as track my goals and share my accomplishments with my peer group for accountability and support. As an outdoorsman, I love the navigation features, the tides app and the map features. Being outside in the dark, I have fiend the LED flashlight to be very useful. So far, the battery life has been incredible. The solar charging really extends the time between hooking up the charger. There is still so much this watch does that I haven’t even explored. Then, considering all the additional apps/features that can be added through the GarminIQ App, it seems the possibilities are endless. Lastly, receiving notifications from my phone make the device even more valuable as I never miss a text, call or reminder. I’d highly recommend the watch and the seller to anyone looking to get more from their wearable.

    An upgrade from the original Instinct Solar Tactical. Bigger screen, more information, and more functionality. One of the few gripes I have is the sensor package on the bottom, for heartrate. Unlike the original, which was a small, smooth mound with no ridges for discomfort, this version has what feels to be a small, flat glass cover over the optical sensors, and a small, plastic ridge around them. When worn directly on my wrist, and strapped tight, as I usually wear it, it can be mildly discomfortable. The light (White/green) is bright enough for small, close in tasks, and can illuminate the far side of a small room. It’s recessed and protected, and discrete. Charges fairly fast, but I haven’t had a chance to use it long enough to testify as to the solar charging functionality. Overall, good. I like it. If it’s as reliable and good as my first, it’ll be a reliable watch for many years to come.

    He tenido antes productos de garmin y este reloj combina la funcionalidad de varios productos , con la capacidad de prolongar la carga eléctrica con celdas solares integradas en la pantalla me gustaría que fueran un poco más compatibles las funciones independientemente de la edición para poder elegir el color que me gusta más sin que tenga relación a las funciones

    Perfect watch regarding a good battery life. Has become my daily watch. I prefer not having a touch interface so this is ideal. It’s doesn’t get triggered by kids or while working. The torch light was a feature I never knew I wanted and use all of the time. Excellent watch. I’ve only used my Apple Ultra 2 days since buying this one.

    As an avid outdoors enthusiast, I’ve used my fair share of GPS smartwatches, and I can confidently say that the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition is the best one I’ve had the pleasure of owning. This smartwatch has exceeded all my expectations and has quickly become a trusty companion during my hikes, camping trips, and even during my daily routines.

    The first thing to appreciate about this watch is its rugged design. It looks and feels sturdy, made to endure harsh conditions and, at the same time, has a unique, cool aesthetic. The built-in flashlight is a handy feature that has proved more useful than I initially expected, particularly during my camping trips.

    The solar charging feature is a game-changer. It’s impressive how the watch sustains its battery life even with extensive use of GPS, heart rate monitoring, and other functions. Not having to worry about recharging frequently is a great relief, especially when you’re out in the wilderness for several days.

    The GPS performance is remarkable. It’s accurate, fast, and reliable. It’s been instrumental in my hikes, giving me the confidence to explore without worrying about losing my way. The tactical features like the dual-position format and waypoint projection enhance its usability for serious outdoor enthusiasts.

    As for the health and fitness tracking features, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar offers comprehensive data that help me stay on top of my health. From sleep and stress tracking to multiple sports modes, it’s got me covered. It even offers Pulse Ox and Body Battery energy monitoring, providing me with a deeper understanding of my body’s performance and recovery.

    Connecting to my smartphone is a breeze, and the notifications appear promptly on the watch, so I never miss important updates even when my phone is tucked away in my backpack.

    In terms of comfort, the watch is light and the strap material doesn’t cause any discomfort, even when worn all day. The screen is clear and easy to read in all lighting conditions, and navigating through the different menus is straightforward and intuitive.

    Overall, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition is an exceptional outdoor GPS smartwatch that combines ruggedness, reliable functionality, and user-friendly design in a brilliant way. Its solar charging capability sets it apart, and the tactical features add value for those who spend a lot of time exploring the great outdoors. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a durable, dependable, and smart companion for their adventures. Five stars well earned!
