Better than expected

My Vivoactive 4 was not holding a charge for more than a day. So, after complaining for a year my wife surprised me with the Instinct 2X Solar for Christmas. Wow! Wow! My Vivoactive worked and did its job for several years, but there is NO comparison to my Instinct 2X Solar. It is rugged and I hope it can take a beating, It does so much more than the Vivo 4 and the BEST thing so far is....I have had it for 14 plus days and it has not been on a charger and still indicates I have 25 days left until charging is needed. It has hunting, fishing, all kinds of outdoor aps...plus so much more. Love it so far.

Got rid of my Apple Watch 8 for this. Tried my son’s instinct solar for a couple weeks then bought a 2x for myself. Everything about this watch is amazing. The connect ap is great and gives a lot more insight to the things I find important vs. Apple.

switched from instinct 2 solar to 2x solar mainly for size and memory storage and better gps. watch is very good and seems to be accurate in all the functions i use, no problems at all. recommend to anyone who wants a smart watch without looking like one. battery life is really good at 35 days. from my experience solar charge is about 1 extra day for every 2-3 hrs direct bright sun,same as the instinct 2 solar as well.

Just wish the button text was bigger. Text on the plastic face is hard to read in anything but full lighting conditions

Was hesitant to move from my other smart watch (Apple) but after making the switch I’ll never go back. As someone with a pretty active lifestyle I needed something more durable that I wouldn’t have to worry about scratching up. The Solar 2x Instinct is the perfect all watch. Granted, I don’t think I’ll be wearing this to the governors balls.. outside of extremely formal events, this is the only watch I’ll wear.
