I'm considering 2S over 2 as well. Firstly, lighter the watch, the more accurate HR sensor is. Secondly, it is thinner by like 1.2mm. And really, the size is the same as Timex Triathlon watches we used to have.
Hi John, one thing to note is that in the watch setup you specify which wrist the watch is worn on. This makes a difference to how the HR calculation is done. Either set both for correct wrist or do two runs. And swap them round.
Thank you for the comparison review between these two. I have a small wrist so the instinct 2s would be better for me. However, I need glasses to read most things on phone and small watches . I intend to use this watch for outdoor activities like jogging and hiking that I don’t wear my glasses. I was wondering if there is a significant difference between the instinct 2s and the instinct 2 45mm in terms of reading clarity. Thank you.
Hi F&P A, yes, I struggle to see the data on the screen if I have more than two main data fields on the particular screen. You might struggle as well I suspect. But if you keep to the one or two fields on each screen it may be ok. Good luck!
Hello John, I wonder the performance of instinct on outdoor track running? Have you tried it on a 400m oval running track? I'm deciding between instinct and forerunner 45. Thanks and good running!
The Instinct might be following your cadence instead of your heart rate.. it happens on badly fitting watches. The too low or too high HR might make sense here
Oh what a shame! I was just about to comment about how all the great parts of the video occurred after 7 seconds and how I feel like I’m a better man because I watched this video. Now I’m not saying you have to Randy… but…
Hi Randy! This comment more suggests that you have an attention deficit disorder rather than making any real or valid critique of the video and it’s contents. Hope you have a great day.
Oh dear this section of comments should be called the good guys vs naughty Randy 😂😂 tbh the video did start slow and then it became enjoyable purely because a decent guy was on camera

Hi. No, not yet. But I believe it is pretty good.
Excellent video! Thanks so much!!

That is interesting and sounds quite possible!
Does Instinct 2 s fit perfectly on your wrist
Yes. Pretty close Ketan. Maybe the band could be a touch bigger.
Purchased instinct 2s.
My wrist is 17.5 cm. It fits perfectly well. And it doesn't look too small either.
I turned this off after 7 seconds.
If you watched further than 7 seconds, you would see that this video is actually a really good review - very informative and interesting

Great video! I really enjoyed 8secs through to 5:35 😍
