Best Activewear Watch
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
This watch is the best athletics/data monitoring watch I have owned. It is durable and what it lacks in on-screen display it makes up for in battery life in spades. I was tired of watches that required constant charging when logging workouts or operating GPS. This watch is incredible.

High Function, High Value
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: Kyle S
With the cost of the higher end watches in mind, the Instinct Solar 2X is super useful and functional at a reasonable price. The flashlight is ridiculously helpful. Makes you wonder why all watches don't have flashlights! Especially with the red (or green, for tactical version) light function. I use this watch for golf, cycling, running, and in place of a normal watch. I don't like receiving phone notifications on a watch, so I left that feature off. The stock watch face is better than I thought. I felt like it was info overload at first, but I quickly adapted to focusing mainly on the time, but frequently using the other data as well. Only thing I changed was the sun light meter to the barometer, as the sun meter made me annoyingly conscious of my lack of sunlight most days...

Upgraded from the instinct 1
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
I had the instinct 1 for 4 years and was super happy with it. I had no issues with it so I wanted to just get the upgraded instinct because I already knew I liked the design. I am really enjoying the bigger size, new features, and increased battery life. It has all the features of a really high end smart watch but just not with the price tag. It's a great deal for what youre getting. The flashlight on the watch also comes in handy very frequently. I would recommend this watch to anyone who wants smartwatch features and health data but values durability, battery life, and practicality.

From Vivo to Instinct
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: Carl W
I have gone from a Vivo Active to the Instinct platform and I am very happy with my choice. I do miss the touch screen but the extended battery life of the Instinct is well worth it! I am also amazed at how light it feels for it's size. If you are looking for an activity tracking smart watch that you don't need to worry about charging all the time this is the watch for you!

Works amazing. Using it for hiking, camping and canoeing. Great battery life. The flashlight is a great feature. Doesn't feel too big on my wrist.

Love this watch.

This is my first smart watch. It came highly recommended by friends and family. I was glad that the X model came out before I ordered. I like the extra size as I have big wrists and bad eyes. Battery life is excellent and the feedback and technology is great. I haven't really scratched the surface on what it can do but I find new stuff all the time. Only had it for a little over a month but it seems to be very rugged. Works great for what I wanted.
