Garmin Instinct 2S, Smaller-Sized GPS Outdoor Watch, Multi-GNSS Support, Trackback Routing, Graphite

This watch for the price is very feature rich and reliable. The ability to solar charge is nice when not having access to means to recharge it, and the long battery life helps ensure it does not need to be charged often. Having capabilities such as GPS are great for many applications.

I've been wearing the original Instinct since 2019. My only complaint with the original has been that it's a bit heavy and catches on sleeves, etc. I use my watch for health/fitness tracking and have notifications turned off, so the bigger screen isn't important to me. The 2S is noticeably smaller/lower profile and lighter on the wrist. I was worried the 2S may appear small or not fit my wrist (165mm) but the size looks better than the original, in my opinion. While my wrist is well within the size limits for the band, I found the remaining tag end was a bit short, so I bought the longer band and it's a better fit. I do wish the longer band was longer on both sides and not just the non-buckle side. The other changes from the original are all great (HRV, sleep score, substantially longer battery life, etc.).
