Nice watch
I had an older model and wanted to move to the newer model. I like the new model it has a couple additional features. It is easier to use maybe because it is a bit faster then the older model. The solar is nice. It extends the life of the battery. Nice to have the latest.

Insane battery life and useful features
I’ve had this watch for almost 3 weeks now and genuinely like it. I haven’t been able to test the solar much but I have seen it charge even during the winter months, which is pretty cool. While it can’t do everything an Apple Watch can do, that seems to be more of a limitation by Apple. For instance, you cannot mirror your focus time back to your watch from your phone. So you have to set do not disturb in both places. I will happily trade some minor inconveniences like this to have a watch that can charge itself and last me three weeks, even if I don’t.

My first smart watch.
Overall I really like it. Battery life seems good and the features I most want to know about are all on the face and easy to read. It is capable of doing more than I’ll ever need it to, which says a lot about the watch. I also like my heart rate transmits flawlessly to my Garmin bike computer making it nice and easy to read while riding.

Long Lasting Charge
I bought this watch about a month ago. I haven't really had time to explore the many features, but I absolutely love the fact that I don't have to charge it every few days even after walking in the woods for hours. Although it is winter, I'm assuming that the sunlight is impacting its ability to recharge. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm not getting any stats on my indoor biking; nevertheless, I am overall quite happy with this watch.

Very impressed
I love that I don’t have to put my glasses on while hiking or snowshoeing the face is so clear to see! It has so much it is a challenge to learn all that one can do but I will get there! What is needed are better tutorials that are a little slower to pick up on.

My Instinct 2 Solar is amazing
My Instinct 2 Solar has all the features and all the durability of my old Instinct Solar but includes all the great features that I enjoy from my Forerunner 945 like garmin pay and the triathlon sport app. Notifications are much quicker now too
