Great Watch
on September 25, 2025
Posted by: gesmith21
Love the watch but getting everything set up the way I want it has been problematic. Partially because I don't have the time and second its not as straight forward as I like. Would I buy again......Yes

Best Watch I've ever Owned
on November 6, 2025
Posted by: storyofndblake
I've owned a few backcountry watches in my time. Prior to this, I owned an Instinct 2, and I liked it pretty well, though I wished that I'd bought the larger watch face. I was thinking about purchasing another when the Crossover was launched, and it answered another wish I didn't know I had ... to have analog hands again.
I love the increased solar efficiency and the way the hands move out of the way for the smart features. Also, and this is perhaps a little specific, the buttons make a slight click when pressed, and it the haptics on that make it feel more high-end.
I only have one gripe, and that is that the glass is closer to the top of the bevel. I know it's to accommodate the analog hands, but I worry about it scratching over time.

Great features! But?

Features are abundant, but accessing them is a nightmare. Especially if don't use them on a regular basis. Battery life is good.
