I've been using the Instinct 2 up to now and I have to say that this is a good one. The Instinct E feels a lot faster and the buttons feel more stiff which make it a little bit easier to manipulate the watch. With the Instinct 2 I found that the buttons were too soft and you had to lock it all the time during fast commutes in public transport. The glow of it is a lot stronger I find, meaning a lot brighter without considering the percentage. Although I did hear that this does not have the flashlight built-in, I was looking for an upgrade to something that was better than a Instinct 2, but wasn't going to be expensive. The screen options I find for watch face is a lot better and it has a USB-C connection, I noticed. So, overall, with the features, I believe it was a bargain. Probably, I will look into the Instinct 3 next time.
