Instinct E

I bought this watch having come from the original Instinct that I’ve had since 2018. It’s been a great watch. I like that it has the connect IQ to change watches faces. It is also a sharper display. The E has all the features I need. Most of the general population that buys these are not doing extreme hiking or marathons and therefore the E has enough for the gen pop. What I think they dropped the ball on is still having a two week battery. It’s the same battery life as my original instinct. They cheaped out on that. It’s should be at least a month battery. The only other “like” I would want is to have the torch (flash light) on this one. Outside of that. I really like the watch.
I've been using my Instinct E for about a month and so far, so good! Its predecessor, a Forerunner 45, served me well for about five years, but it was getting difficult to charge (I think it was the contact points, but not really sure).
I like the new features of the Instinct-E; each watch proves to have its own personality and virtues. Anyway, it's a good one!
I bought this one month ago. I am very happy with it. Product was well thought out. Good features. Good specs. Good performance. Good value. Absolutely met my expectations.
