Never had a watch for years, not even a smartwatch, the instinct E is comfortable, and easy to use… has a lot of features…

The watch should have a setting where you can select a workout by double tapping or just tapping the GPS button but it doesn’t work. All it has is “track me”, i’m sure it’s just me not knowing how to work the Watch but I watched some videos and I still can’t figure it out. Otherwise great watch.

The spots in which the strap attaches broke very soon after purchase.
