Stay ready for anything with all-day health monitoring for energy levels, stress, sleep, Pulse Ox, heart rate and more (this is not a medical device, and data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked. Pulse Ox not available in all countries).

Review: Awesome watch!!! - Really enjoying my first Garmin watch. It seems just as tough as a G-Shock with lots of information regarding health, fitness, and adventure stuff. Really liking the built in flashlight and comes in handy at work. Not having to charge every night is nice and solar charging is a plus. It has smartwatch capabilities, minus the ability to talk and text back, and has a great MIP display. If you’re looking for a watch that does almost everything and is tough, I highly recommend it.
Review: Best watch for soldiers! - Bought this for my son who is in the Army. He is in basic training/Ait and needed a durable watch for the rigorous training they endure. This watch has all the bells and whistles yet still has the look of a basic black watch so it doesn’t stand out. Very durable and the functionality is quite impressive. My son was so thrilled to get this watch and he was equally impressed with all of the tools available to him in a watch! Highly recommend!

## 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.
