Great Fitness tracker and navigating watch
on February 4, 2024
Posted by: BoobyM
I bought this last year and have been using it daily I also have an Apple Watch Ultra which I prefer but I cannot have a smart watch where I work so this is my alternate watch at work so I can track my steps I mainly use this during the week and switch to my Apple Watch on the weekends. It tracks sleep really good and also monitors everything the Apple Watch does. I also like that it has a 40+ day battery life my Apple Watch is like 36 hours so no comparison there I also had the Garmin Epic before this one but couldn't have that at work so I switched to this watch it is a really good watch and would recommend it to anyone needing a smart watch with less features.

Impressive Simplicity and Long Battery Life
on February 7, 2024
Posted by: Human
I recently purchased the Instinct® 2X Solar Smart Watch, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. Here's why:
Simple to use: One of the standout features of this smartwatch is its simplicity. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the various functions without any hassle.
Not distractive: Unlike other smartwatches that bombard you with constant notifications, the Instinct® 2X strikes the perfect balance. It keeps me informed without being overly distracting, allowing me to stay focused on what matters.
Simple look and feel: I appreciate the minimalist design of the Instinct® 2X. It has a sleek and understated look, which I find both stylish and practical for everyday wear.
Long battery life: Since I purchased the watch, I haven't had to worry about charging it. The solar-powered feature is a game-changer, ensuring that I always have power when I need it, even on extended outdoor adventures.
Would like to see more videos on "How to's": While the watch is user-friendly, I think having more instructional videos on how to make the most of its features would be beneficial for users who are new to smartwatches or want to explore advanced functions.
Looking forward to using the GPS: One feature I'm particularly excited about is the GPS functionality. I haven't had the chance to fully utilize it yet, but I'm looking forward to using it on my outdoor activities to track my routes and explore new trails with confidence.
Overall, the Instinct® 2X Solar Smart Watch has exceeded my expectations with its simplicity, functionality, and long battery life. It's a reliable companion for both everyday use and outdoor adventures, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a smartwatch that delivers on both style and performance.

Great features

I got this as a replacement for the solar surf. I love how it sinks with satellites quickly and only shows the activities I do instead of displaying too many.

Realiable and exactly the features I wanted

Easy to use with the features I want .. speed, altitude, glide ratio, glide to destination. The tracks are easy to download for review of flights .Solar gives great battery life. I’ve found the red flashlight to be very handy

Great watch
on February 14, 2024
Posted by: WildBill418
I am beyond happy with this watch, it’s got everything thing I need all on my wrist. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the weather app on the watch constantly doesn’t work and the farming help page is unhelpful for such a problem

Does Not Charge as Expected
on February 20, 2024
Posted by: ShowerHead
I love the display and the features are great. So far, it has not recharged as I was led to believe that it would. I live on the East Coast of Central Florida, so it isn't as though we don't get a good amount of sunshine. I replaced a Fenix 5X Plus which did not seem to hold a charge very well and so far the Instinct Solar's battery seems to be diminishing at the same rate.

Great watch with all the right features
on February 21, 2024
Posted by: MSorenson
I bought this watch for the extended battery life, and boy does it deliver. Got it about 2.5 weeks ago and the battery is still at 42%. This watch has all the health and smartwatch capabilities that I need, and who knew I needed a flashlight on my watch!
