I can't figure out how to set it up
on October 3, 2024
Posted by: Tom Sr
I think I will love this thing, but I am an old guy and the instructions do not give someone like me adequate instructions on how to set up the features and navigate through them.

Disappointed. Hard to read screens
on September 25, 2024
Posted by: MarkDubz
The concept is good. The battery life is good. If you are older though I wouldn't recommend because the screens are too small to read. The buttons took alot of learning, it was complicated for me. The glowing watch dial didn't glow very much at all after a minute. At night I couldn't tell what time it was without struggling. I went back to my vivoactive...

What I would change

The battery life could be a little longer or maybe the solar functionality could be used to actually charge the watch when I'm in the sun

Mixed feelings about this watch
on June 6, 2024
Posted by: Michael2222
I bought this watch to replace my old fenix 5 and have mixed feelings. So maybe it is most helpful to list the pros and cons.
Pros: Appearance is very cool, love the analog watch hands and glow in the dark, very comfortable to wear and lightweight, long battery life, cool display and data fields.
Cons: Color of watch is not at all what the picture represents on their website (main reason for the purchase). Even though analog hands move out of the way it is annoying becuase it will do that every time you get any notifications so you have to clear it or the analog hands will not go back to the time. Solar charging is not great compared to G-Shock's solar charging capabilities.
Overall, the watch has been a little disappointing and that is why I only gave it a 3-Star rating. Returning the watch and replacing it with the Instinct 2X Solar at the same price.

Since I bought this watch I have become more health conscience. I have been more aware of my sleep patterns and getting better sleep.

Features

I like the features. A bonus would have been if the clock hands also glowed or would light up when a button is pushed.

Battery Lasts Forever / Super Lightweight
on May 31, 2024
Posted by: MTC_1964
It is a great watch with fast charging and lots of features. It is very accurate, works great in water, has accurate treadmill calibration, and is ultra-light. Solar charging is fast and handy. I am very happy with this watch.
