This replaced the version 1 instinct. A lot of nice features way easier to read. The only thing I do not like is it goes dark and then when you look at it is supposed to light back up. It does not always light up when you rotate your wrist to look at the display. It can be irritating at times.
I got this watch for Christmas and what an upgrade from my Vivoactive 4. I haven’t charged the battery since Christmas Day and it is 1/8 now and still has 25% left. It has all the features I need and more and it was a breeze to add to Garmin Connect. This was a great choice for me.
