I’m learning the fundamentals and slowly getting used to it, I need to spend more time learning.

Really enjoy the look and the feel

I got this watch about 2 weeks ago. Super easy to sync up with my phone. I had the Fenix 5 that was almost 10 years old and wanted an upgrade. I was looking for something that actually resembled a watch but also had notifications like the Fenix. I am getting older so not nearly as much need for moving maps, etc. This watch still has light years more functionality than I will ever use but the things it does checks everything on my list. Once again, look and feel were super important and this watch does that well. The price is quite reasonable considering my other options appeared to venture into several grand range. Totally recommend for those that want a watch feel and look rather than a computer screen attached to their wrist. Not hating on that but was ready for something a bit different.

Instinct amoled

Have the original instinct solar, this is the hybrid I have been waiting for, aligned with the stars. Fits perfectly on a small wrist. I have looked for the perfect watch, this is it a balance of function and form. I am very happy with the end result of this amazing watch.

Perfect Watch for me - Instinct Crossover Tactical
on December 30, 2025

I have had this watch for a month and couldn't be happier. I had the Instinct Crossover Solar and liked it but it was hard to see information on the face and the hands were very hard to see in the evening and at night. This watch remedies all of these issues. I love analog watches and this gives me the best of both digital and analog world. It also replace a Garmin Marq 2 Athlete and I don't miss that watch with the my new Crossover Tactical.

Very pleased - and actually helps sleep!

Well made, comfortable (even for wearing while sleeping), and I really appreciate the red light on the torch for middle of the night - not only is the red less jarring, but keeps me from grabbing my phone as a light then doom scrolling instead of falling back to sleep. Hands are easy to see, amoled screen shows just enough information, watch looks great with screen on or off. Checks all the boxes, for me, of an all day activity tracker that looks just as fine on a hike or in an office and holds a charge for well over a full week. I suppose one ask would be the possibility of a solar amoled for extended time between charges, but no complaints.
