Better than an Apple Watch

Posted by: TaddDaddy
Bought the Instinct 2x Solar to replace my Apple Watch. Got tired of charging the Apple Watch every night- it was a pain and made tracking sleep a challenge. Also, just never really used all of the functionality of the Apple Watch with texting on the watch, etc. The Instinct 2x Solar does all the things I wanted from the Apple Watch (steps, HR, workouts, etc.) and I’ll maybe have to charge it a few times this year. It also has some amazing tracking features for outdoor activities. I live in Florida so on days I’m outside, I lose virtually no charge, due to the lux hours so get from the solar charging capability!

Had the watch for 3 Weeks. Haven't charged it yet since the original charge. Still have 21 days left! I had to charge my apple watch nightly. I live all of the health tracking, morning report and the flashlight! Definitely an upgrade from my apple watch.

I had solar instinct previously, but this solar instinct 2x battery has amazing capacity. I'm glad I bought this.

Love this watch

I bought an original instinct when they came out and just replaced it after many years. I was mostly interested in the solar feature of the 2x Solar, and had to have the Flame Red after wearing it in the original for so many years. HRM seems much more accurate, solar is great, GPS is noticeably faster. I find myself using the light more than I thought I would. Super happy so far and look forward to many years of service.

Pretty awesome

I am coming from an old Casio G-shock.. This feels pretty close to taking the spirit of the G-shock and putting brains in it. I love the solar - I'm going on a full month of usage and finally need to plug it in. If I spent more time outside, I could see it going for 6 weeks or more on a single wall charge. The watch is great for running/hiking. It is decent at strength training, but you can tell the algorithms don't work as well for it. I can do a 40 min strenuous leg exercise and it thinks I'm fully ready to go the next day without any rest needed. But a 40 min run needs 30+ hours of recovery. Hopefully that is something that can be tweaked in the future.
