Great watch

I’ve had the Instinct 2 solar for a little over a year now and have been very happy with it. I’ve mostly used it as an everyday watch, to track runs and more recently to record hunts that involve lots of hiking and it’s done great for all. I really like how the gps tracks my routes and records distance that I would otherwise have no way to accurately measure. It froze once at around the one year mark and was a bit frustrating to get reset but once I did everything was back to normal. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase and have recommended it to friends. If I had to do it all over again I would still buy this exact watch, it’s a great product.
Battery dies approximately 36 hours after socket charging whether left in sunlight thereafter or not. Very difficult, if not impossible , to obtain "terms and conditions" "agreement" as well as "Bazaarvoice Privacy Policy". So, what is up here? Are only those willing to agree to any thing and everything encouraged to submit reviews?
I am an average to maybe just above average runner and this watch gives me all the data I need. Getting the Garmin pay feature is a lovely little addition too.
I have had the watch 2 weeks now and still have 13% battery. That is with messing with settings. Way better than the previous Instinct. I am not impressed with sleep monitor. I say I am awake when I am asleep. My resting HR and movement shows that I am still asleep but watch will show awake time. Instinct tracking was better at this. Everything else is comparable to my previous Instinct. Can't wait until I can exercise again to test out other features.
I have had the instinct 2 solar for a few weeks now and I love it. It is what I have been looking for in a smart watch. Has the notifications and durability that I wanted in a watch!
