I did but this a month or two ago and so far so good. It's taking me time to get used to it but I am liking it so far. Only question I have ? Is is it waterproof
I have had this watch for a couple of weeks. I bought it to pair with my bike heart rate. I am not a tech savvy person, so I had to work at navigating some of the screens. Now I think I have most of it but still need to learn more. I have tried to broadcast the heart rate to my EDGE 540 bike computer and cannot seem to get it. In retrospect I may have been better off getting the touch screen version. Having to push buttons to find and change screens takes more time and does not seem as easy to navigate. Switching to the stopwatch or timer feels clumsy. It may still be that I need to learn how to set my preferred screens but as of now I am still learning.
An enhancement from the last Instinct watch that I owned. I like the automation and classifications for working out. I still in discovery mode regarding adding other work areas, like flying.
The Instinct E - 45 is great watch. It rs very accurate, easy to set up, and use. I used You Tube videos to acquainted myself with the watch and learn the different functions. It has been a great upgrade from the Fitbit I used fir quite shimmering.
My wife bought me the Instinct E for father’s day. I really like it. I had the original Instinct for 5 years and I really liked it. The Instinct E is a great upgrade from the original. I really like it!
