I have been wearing mechanical (automatics) watches for years, ever since I inherited my Dad's Rolex. I am 63 years old and have seen these smart watches around, Apple, Samsung etc... I never felt the need to get one, I am not into fitness, other than cycling and camping and my bike has a Garmin on it so why bother. I am also into camping and love Kayak camping. Nothing is better than paddling out over a lake or stream and finding a place to sleep under the stars. One problem, sometimes I get turned around or forget where I parked my car when heading back. The Track Back feature on this watch with the GPS Tracking would be a feature I would love and use often out in the wild. For this reason, I have been looking at these lately and after seeing this review (thank you by the way) I am convinced this is the model for me. I can't see myself wearing it every day but certainly every time I head out for an adventure. So yep, taking the plunge and ordering the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar, Graphite from Amazon today! So, you have converted me, way to go lol.

I bought the instinct solar when it went on sale after the release of the instinct solar 2. After doing a bit more research I probably would have opted for the new one to be able to take advantage of the advanced training metrics, but didn't feel like it was worth upgrading so soon after getting the other one. This one definitely makes me think I might upgrade again.

I bought the Instinct 2x Tactical, about a month ago and am loving it. It has the Green torch option, rather than Red. I never used to sleep wearing a watch but now forget I have it on for sleep tracking. I find that function very useful. It shows just how much of my sleep time is in REM. I've only charged it once so far and it still has 25 days battery left. In time, I might get a green military style strap? Currently using the black one it came with. Before this watch, I wore a Casio Pro Trek. That watch is still perfectly fine, but I wanted a Smart Watch.

I love my Garmin watches. I have the tactix 7 Pro and Marq Athlete Gen 2 (also had Marq Athlete Gen 1 and fenix 6, 5, and 3 before those). Instinct models have always been intriguing to me for a lower priced, more durable, G Shock looking watching, but I didn't even realize you can't store music on them until watching your video. That's likely a non-starter for me. I never take my phone with me on my runs. Nice video and I agree, as I have one on my tactix, the flash light/torch is a nice feature that I find myself sometimes missing if I am wearing my Marq.

I had an Instinct solar and loved it. When the Instinct 2 solar came out I made the upgrade and was immediately disappointed by the backlight. I loved the other marginal upgrades in speed and resolution but I could not get over the hue and, to my eyes, apparent dimmer backlight. I began looking around and traded for an Enduro 2. WOW! What a proper flashlight! I use it often. If the Instinct 2X had been available last year I would likely be wearing it now. However, 6 months on the wrist I've grown spoiled by the built in maps and won't ever go back.

I had the instinct 2 and 2x ordered and compared them for a few days. Besides art the things you pointed out I noticed that without illumination the 2 display is slightly brighter than the 2x, hence it's better to read in dimmed conditions, especially in positive mode. Also I think the solar statistic is only on the 2x. And by the way it's solar energy consumption, which doesn't make much sense, it's solar energy production,. The solar cell is producing energy that is consumed by the watch. I finally kept the 2x and really love it.

The Garmin Instinct 2x Solar Tactical itself is excellent! The only drawback of the clock is that the system sounds are very quiet. Even in quiet surroundings, such as at home, the system sounds are barely audible when the watch is not on the wrist, for example, but in another room. Even more so out on the street, where the system sounds are far from drowning out the street noise. I hope that Garmin will release an update for this, where the system sounds are much louder or better yet an option is integrated where the user can set the volume of the system sounds themselves.

Between the 6X and 2X it really comes down to 4 major factors. 1.) Mapping: Fenix 6X has full topo mapping while 2X does not and has breadcrumb trail mapping. 2.) Display: Color vs Monochrome... which do you prefer. 3.) On-Board Music storage: Fenix has it, instinct doesnt. 4.) Battery Life: 2X is way longer in terms of battery. Other than that you do get more accurate GPS and HR on the newer 2X. Lots of considerations! Good luck!

@@RallihSarl I'm just getting started. I have a Fitbit Sense 2 that isn't very good. Tried out an Amazfit GTR 4 that was pretty good, but they shipped it with unfinished software. Had to return it. And I just picked up the Instinct 2x. Will be here in a week!

Looks like this is going to follow my Casio Tough Solar as my everyday rugged watch.

Thanks for this video. I had the Instinct, the Instinct 2 Solar and I just ordered the Instinct 2X. Garmin simply listened to my wishes !!! I would like a bigger Instinct to have access to more datas on the screen. And to be honest, also for the design, now I have a mix between G-Shock and Garmin. I am today so happy, and even more happy when I see your video. I cannot wait !

I have abiut 13 watches ranging G shocks, Citizens, and Seiko autos. I have owned the Garmin instinct for about 3 months and have not worn any other watch since. I wear it at work, gym, and on date nights. If you are thinking about getting one, just buy it. You will not regret.

Defintely something for G-Shock fans. Also I would prefer non-solar version as I am not fan of this violet shade of solar panel. Great looking watch, I wish they made one that looks like this with MIP or AMOLED screen

Certainly a great alternative to a G-Shock since the Instinct has far more sport/fitness tools!

It's nice to see record of your tracking... Imagine if there was paired with an app like "find me"... For people who get lost or kidnapped... It could save lifes !

I bought this watch a few days ago and I absolutely love it. The battery life, accuracy, and the flashlight is what really convinced me to pick it up.

The OG Garmin was killer cause of its price point and “retro”ish design. Getting the 2x soon!!!!

Great review, Dave. You should run a competition asking how many times you said 2 😊 Great watches.
