I absolutely love this watch. I was considering buying the Fenix, but when I saw the Instinct 2 with the better battery life and cheaper price, I got hooked. It really reminds me of a cooler version of the G Shock. I like Casio and currently use a Pro Trek Solar. The Garmin is probably the perfect smart watch. Apple has ridiculously short battery life, the Fenix also is quite a lot more expensive and to be honest, I don't need a coloured screen. The Instinct, with the rugged ability yet all the features, is perfectly fine. I don't need to make phone calls on the thing. I just want a mutlifunction smart watch that has a long battery life, looks good and will stand the test of time. I think this is it.

On another note, in terms of analogue watches, I really like Vostock Europe and also Citizen Promaster Altichron. As much as I like analogue, the smart watch is just so packed with features and hard to pass up. I can pair the Garmin with my Iphone and utilize it's features even more.

We can only upload them. So I can't leave my phone behind. The Fenix would be a complete watch. But it's way too expensive. One more thing about Instinct 2 is seems they have flipped the glass.

Can be useful if you lose data connectivity but not GPS.

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Rugged Watch V2 (name on box bit of a mouthful). Tried to change things on the watch in the app but says it couldnt and i had to use the clunky long winded menu to change things which really sucked in all honesty. Watch feels plastic and cheap in my hand considering its £400. While i was sitting down and in GPS mode as i moved my hands it was saying i was taking steps which give false readings and considering the GPS can tell im on the same spot pretty poor? Immediate false readings. Screen was glossy and hard to read unless looking directly down at it in sunlight. In person looked a bit dinky and had nothing Rugged about it.

@@AlphaPews The way a "wipe" is supposed to be done is basically the system writes "0" on the entire storage over and over again (3-4 times minimum for civilian use, perhaps more for tactical data). If done that way, it is practically impossible to recover, especially on solid state storage. The wipe on this watch just resets it. The data is simply never overwritten, only the index is gone - the data is only overwritten when new data needs space. So a high school kid with right tools can recover it.

The utility in it is that the data will not be instantly readable. No one will be able to extract the memory of this specific watch and get out the un-overwritten sensitive data precisely on the go. When it becomes possible, in a forensic analysis that might come later, the data will presumably not be very useful. Therefore there is nothing wrong with this functionality. Alas, the NATO standard is 7 “passes”, which would take too much time and would be obvious in a situation where the watch would quickly “change hands” (no pun intended) - One of the rare situations where this command to be sensible in the first place.

Does it only do military time and stuff like that, or does it do regular stuff too. What do you mean it’s strictly for military?

We ran g shocks for years no complaints. Still do.. but navigation solar, compass and fitness options takes the level up a notch. Gear doesn't make an operator, it should help you be comfortable being uncomfortable. What do you run for a watch?
