Review: Has taken a 2+ year licking and still keeps on ticking… - I was in the market for a ‘smart G-shock” watch but was very disappointed that one meeting my needs didn’t exist. I saw the Instinct 2X solar and decided to buy my first Garmin device ever. After 2+ years of traveling the world and not babying this watch, I am happy to say this watch is easily my favorite watch ever and has performed amazingly if not perfectly. I wanted a tough watch ✅, solar charging ✅, heartbeat and sleep monitor ✅✅, world time capability ✅, step counter✅; the sports modes and GPS modes were a bonus and I’d never thought I’d use them until quite recently. I can not tell you how many people I’ve impressed with just the flashlight alone. It took me 2+ years to find the GPS tracking useful until I realized I can use it to precisely pinpoint the gravesites of deceased relatives in the cemeteries. I saved each location in the watch and it leads directly back when I go visit to pay my respects. No more playing “I think it’s over here” with my cousins and siblings when we visit our deceased ancestors. This watch has been all over the world with me including the beach and ocean in Neves and the jungles of Costa Rica. It’s scratched up, dinged, been immersed in fresh and salt water and still keeps working. The battery life is awesome, up to 41 days on a full charge in smart watch mode but this is the only criticism I have about this watch. My previous EDC solar G-shock watch was 100% solar, no charging or battery changes needed. The instinct 2X solar claims unlimited power with 3+ hours of direct sunlight but I find I need to charge the watch about once a month for a few hours which isn’t bad (compared to an Apple Watch) but it’s not 100% solar powered. I’m considering the instinct 3 solar but the only potential deal maker for me to give up the instinct 2X solar is if the instinct 3 solar is 100% solar, no external charging needed. All in all, I love this watch! It’s 99% perfect in my opinion. If it was 100% solar, then it would be perfect.
Review: Awesome watch for backpacking - I absolutely love my Instinct 2X Solar. This watch lasts 40 days easy as a smartwatch, and longer if you spend any time in the sun. Just for reference, I took this on a 10-day hiking trip to climb mount rainier and do some other exploring in the PNW. I used it to track hours-long activities every day, and when I got home I still had around 10 days of battery life left. I also can't believe how light it is despite being a large watch. It weighs less than my much smaller looking apple watch and does not move around on my wrist. The flashlight is nice, but I don't find myself using it often... maybe if I did more backpacking it would be convenient but I still find I use my phone most of the time. Overall, I highly recommend this watch to anyone who doesn't need the color display and just wants something lightweight with long battery life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Garmin watch !
*by D***Y on July 22, 2026*

Great watch highly recommended it was great for hiking . Unfortunately I was on a hike at Franklin falls and the watch fell off my wrist when I took my back pack off. Being a gps smart watch. I believe it should be retrievable. But I tried locating it and super bummed I almost had it for three years so so sad.
