Review: Best fitness watch I've owned - So I previously owned the $300 Garmin Vivoactive 3 HR. The first year I was in love and obsessed with fitness. They have a 1 year warranty. WELL just after the 1 year mark my band broke...on the watch head, cheap plastic. Support didn't do anything to help. So I used a soldering iron to melt it back together. Slowly the 2nd, 3rd, AND 4TH connector on the watch head broke off. I created a live social media event smashing my watch to pieces with a hammer. Also spent about 3 years wearing my broken, melted watch negatively attacking all Garmin posts and social media. I hated them with a passion. Haha anyways moving forward, I decided to give this a shot since comparable brands didn't match up. Couldn't be happier. It's actually notably durable, I've never needed to connect my cell phone (which I prefer). Looks awesome, tracks all my fitness stats and I have a historical record on the watch of it all. With all the health features enabled and no smart features turned on, battery lasts like a month. Turn off consistent smart OX recordings it lasts 40+ days. The solar feature is nice, you'd think with me getting 15k steps outdoors every day you'd never need to charge but it still slowly depletes. Coolest functional feature for a dude, it has a flashlight! I'd recommend it, but if one of the bands breaks, Garmin better keep a lookout for me because I'd probably do something that would wind me up in jail.
Review: A Smarter G-Shock - Magnifique, Superb, Delightful - Love this watch. Former G-Shock owner, I was looking for an upgrade to something "smart" but hated how fragile most smartwatches are. This feels like it was made for life outdoors. The display is minimal black and white, but in exchange you get ultra-clear visibility in all lighting conditions combined with ultra-long battery life. With everything turned on and up to my convenience, 75% charge estimates 14 days of life. Turning off some of the fancier features extends life to 30+ days. The 2 >X< has the light built into it and it's so incredibly convenient to have both a low red light and a variable intensity flashlight on your wrist. Activates with a double-tap of the shoulder button so it's never out of reach. I don't have big wrists at all but the 2X bezel size still sits comfortably on both sides of my wrist. Notifications are easy to set up and configure, the Garmin apps are easy to set up and configure, and don't ask for a subscription fee. It doesn't do group chat notifications well, it doesn't do Discord notifications too well, but it notifies you nonetheless which is what I want. The vibrate is strong and helps me to wake up in the morning. The audible alarm isn't super loud but the vibrate strength makes up for it. There's a lot of very clever programming that make this a joy to own - the navigation tools alone are quite powerful (eg. Sight 'N Go). Maps are a little tricky to wrap your head around at first, but breadcrumbs are pretty intuitive once you get going. Garmin maps/trails app is loaded with pre-configured breadcrumb trails. For my casual fitness needs it's more than adequate, but as a daily driver and watch wearer I can't recommend this enough. Absolutely superb, and I consider myself a critic. Never during the 30-day return period did I consider parting with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is anyone facing calls & sms Notifications getting delayed problem? If yes, so is there any way to solve it?**
A: On mine, (Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical black) notifications, calls, etc., reach the Garmin before my other devices - all Android, all Samsung, and Phonak hearing aids.
I did need to do the initial Garmin set-up with my tablet and hearing aids off. I think it was a bluetooth/wi-fi priority issue. But once I got the Garmin set, I could do the other devices with no problems. I also keep the "Connect" app running in the background on my Galaxy phone.
Not sure if any of this helps, but it may give you an idea for a possible fix. Good luck - I really enjoy my Garmin, so I hope you can get yours working to your satisfaction.

**Q: what is the width of the band?**
A: The Instinct 2X Solar Tactical band is 26 MM in width.

**Q: What Bluetooth level is this? E.G. 5.2, etc.**
A: It uses ant +

**Q: What is the watch Material?**
A: The Instinct 2X Solar - Tactical lens is power glass, bezel and case are fiber-reinforced polymer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very solid smart watch
*by J***K on May 21, 2026*

Great watch, I got mine refurbished and I really like the balance of which features it has and which ones they skipped on. Being able to track hikes and workouts helps motivate me and the battery lasts forever, especially if you work in the sun or use the battery saver mode. The app is also great for seeing personal improvement. The display is crisp and durable.
