According to our smartwatch expert
The Garmin Instinct 2 Graphite is an ideal watch for outdoor sports enthusiasts. For example, keep track of your mountain bike data. The watch is resistant to extreme temperatures and shockproof. You can also dive up to a 100m depth. With the VO2 max reading, you can also accurately keep track of you physical health. The Garmin Instinct also provides insight in your recovery time after your workout. That way, you know if you're ready for a new workout or need more rest. The watch even measures your fitness age, which calculates if your body is older than your actual age. The watch has a built-in GPS receiver, so you don't have to take your smartphone with you to track your route. The watch also tracks your health, like your stress level and sleep quality. You can view incoming notifications on the watch, so you're always up-to-date. You also can't make contactless payments with this watch, which is possible with the Solar models. This watch lasts up to 50 days in smartwatch mode.
This watch is recommended for a 17 to 19cm wrist circumference.

Bought at Coolblue after much hesitation between the Forerunner 155, Vivoactive 5 and the Instinct 2 Solar. In the end, the price, multi-sport options and especially the battery life were the deciding factors, no regrets!
This watch is user-friendly, equipped with numerous sports options and built to withstand a beating. The sturdy design and comfortable strap make it ideal for my trails. The battery life is phenomenal, and that makes it perfect for long trails. I don't make it to the almost 30 days mentioned, but that is more because I often have many sensors (O2) on. 14 days is quite feasible.
Okay, the lack of a color OLED screen is there, but given the price-quality ratio, that is absolutely justified.
I have substantiated my choice well by looking at reviews from DCRainmaker and DesFit, among others. I am ready to make trails unsafe for years to come.
