Pros and cons

According to our smartwatch expert

This Garmin watch has a long battery life, so you don't have to charge it often.
You can charge your watch via solar power, so your battery last longer.
Gain insight into your fitness with the VO2 max reading, which measures the maximum oxygen uptake in your blood.
This large watch looks best on a wrist circumference of at least 19cm, so choose the smaller Instinct 2 or 2S if you have a smaller wrist.
There's no built-in music storage, so you have to take your smartphone with you if you want to listen to music during your workout.

Our expert review

Outdoor watch for the avid outdoor athlete

sturdy watch
Long battery life
Lots of sports functions
Black and white screen

The Garmin Instinct 2 is a watch that is well suited for the avid (outdoor) athlete thanks to the large amount of sport profiles. It is a sturdy watch that can take a beating, so it is very coarse.

Robust design
The first thing that strikes me is the robust design of the watch. It is sturdy and can take a beating. So no problem if, for example, you fall while bouldering. It also feels very light on my wrist. However, I find it very striking and does not necessarily fit with my daily outfits. The black and white screen is bright enough to read your measurements. But the screen is therefore not beautifully bright and I miss the colors.

Various sports functions
The Instinct 2 has a lot of sport profiles. For me, as a not very fanatical athlete, actually too much. But if you do a lot of outdoor sports such as surfing, mountain biking or skiing, I think it's great! I have mainly used it for indoor sports, so I kept up with my strength training and cycling training in the gym and my morning yoga at home. The Body Battery helped me a lot with my planning. This gave me a more realistic idea of when I would be ready for a new training session or whether I would be better off spending the evening on the couch.

health features
I really like that I can keep track of my menstrual cycle with the watch. In the app you get some tips per phase. This way I see that my body can handle strength training well on certain days. On other days it is good to eat a lot of iron. It is also useful for me to keep track of my stress score. This way I can see if I need to calm myself down a bit. I also keep track of my steps, stress level and calories, among other things. The app gives you a lot of insight into your data. You should take some time to find out how all the features work and how to set them up.

28 days battery life
A big advantage of the Garmin Instinct 2 is the long battery life. I haven't had to charge it all week. Garmin even claims that the battery lasts 28 days. The Solar models even have an infinite battery life. That seems very useful if you go camping, for example.

I tested the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar, but most of the features apply to all Instinct 2 models.

Super strong, solid, tough
Complete in functionality
only 1 size strap included

Very satisfied with Garmin products in general for sportsmanship (cycle computer), this Instinct 2s is a pleasant addition. Does exactly what I expect. The size is also modest. The consequence of choosing the small size is that my wrist size may not have been the target audience, luckily straps can be exchanged.
