The design of the instinct is definitely not for me. Too much "wasted" space on the display. A monochrome Forerunner with a regular display and data fields and absurdly good battery life would be interesting though. Yes, I'm actually suggesting Garmin should make even more watches haha.
That’s a super interesting idea actually hahaha, maybe Garmin SHOULD make more watches ;) I must say.. the instinct isn’t quite for me. Not for a daily driver. But I can definitely see why this is so loved by the endurance/military community. It doesn’t everything you need and I bought it for $300 directly from Garmin with a discount. Not bad for an unlimited battery life watch 🙈
How do you think this compares to the Enduro 3? Obviously the Enduro 3 has way more features, but does the Instinct 2x feel old or missing key features? I have an Instinct 1 and am looking for an upgrade.
You should watch my Garmin Instinct 3X video I made a few weeks ago! I highlight some of the 2X shortcomings and even compare it to the Enduro 3 in the video. A little spoiler of the video.. the 2X chipset feels super slow, the maps feel super limited and the sleep tracking is terrible, especially when compared to The Enduro 3
@@ActiveIdeas Thank you so much! I think the Enduro 3 is the best upgrade for sure. I am curious to see if/ when Garmin refreshes the Instinct line. A Instinct 3X would be interesting for sure!
Right now for testing I’m rotating between Suunto Ocean, Fenix 8, Race S & Vertix 2s. For general training I tend to pick the smaller watches: Fenix 8 43mm & Suunto Race S. For ultra running I usually wear Suunto Vertical (I love this watch and it would probably be my daily driver if I wasn’t testing) & Coros Vertix 2S. I don’t think the perfect watch exists yet though. There’s still room for innovation from all brands.
For in depth details check out my Instinct 3 deep dive about 3 videos back in my catalog. I don’t have any behind the scenes information on the exact date unfortunately but I do suspect it to release within the next few weeks tbh.
Hello someone gave me a Garmin Instinct 2x Dual Power and it came from Japan, my questionnis what is the difference between solar power is it just how they name it in other countries. P.S. I am ignorant in tjis watch as this is my first time having this kind of watch

Just picked it up a month ago. Best watch I've ever owned by far!
Bloody fantastic aren’t they!
Great video. Something also you are showing and which is not easy to find elsewhere is how smooth the compass is on the Instinct 2X.
Yeah the compass on Instinct 2X is actually well impressive!
I have owned one for 7 months. I love it
It’s fantastic isn’t it!! Can’t to see what they do with the Garmin Instinct 3X soon.

@@nickhughes1131 I’d expect an instinct this month tbh!
Hi. My question to you is: What watch do you wear?
Right now for testing I’m rotating between Suunto Ocean, Fenix 8, Race S & Vertix 2s. For general training I tend to pick the smaller watches: Fenix 8 43mm & Suunto Race S.

Any info about i3 release date?

@@jettrude yeah! It’s just naming differences In different countries! This caught me out before too! 🤣
@ActiveIdeas Thank you 🫡
Thank You Sir!
Keep in mind that they stopped releasing feature updates for this watch, only bugfixes (to little success but still...)

I ❤ active ideas💡 I love Garmin watch gift 🎁 please 🥺😢
You want me to host a give away? I could do this 🙈
My comment reply thanks🙏I am india 🇮🇳 giveaway only Garmin watch ok thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Does it still have the bizarre lower resting calories than all the other Garmin watches? Makes it difficult to use alongside another Garmin watch.
@charlesellwood5422 I never actually noticed this. It’s probably related to the old generation HR sensor unfortunately
