Works with Alpha 100
on January 9, 2023

Hi,
I haven't really delved into all the Instinct can do but the main reason for the purchase was to pair it with my Alpha 100 dog system. It was pretty effortless to do this as long as you read the directions. You have to have your Alpha system turned on then all you have to do is turn your wrist to see how far your dogs are away from you and want direction. It will operated three dogs at a time. Pretty cool!

My wife got me the new solar instinct 2 for Christmas, I had the original instinct before and I have no complaints about it, but the new one is awesome it has so many more features, the watch face setup is much better, I’m not sure how well the solar charge works yet since there’s not as much sun in the winter. Well worth it

Needed to check multiple health items does all I need and more. Bit difficult to figure out how to run all the features but did get it after some time.

Superb health tracker.

I bought it to replace my Fitbit and wanted to have some watch with greater battery life, it does the job, 12 days with heartbeat tracking and it has many handy features which I think are implemented by keeping user needs in mind, I like all of them.
This watch is minimum distraction and maximum feature, no glaring light, screen is readable in bright sunlight. So far impressed.

So far so good!

Wife bought me this watch over 2 months ago and i have maybe taken it off a couple times, and only once to charge it. Quite impressive.
The solar part needs a lot of sunshine to do a significant charge, but it's still winter, maybe in a sunnier season it will behave better.

Easy to learn
on January 17, 2023

Really enjoying my Instinct 2 Solar so far. It has lots of features but fortunately hasn't been overwhelming to learn how to use, sometimes a problem with those watches. Everything is laid out logically and it's easy to figure out how to use the activity trackers, the GPS features, and the various watch faces. The iPhone app is a great addition. It also goes more than a week between charges, and that's without using the solar since I haven't been outside with it very much. Looking forward to some good hikes with it when the weather improves.
