I love my Instinct E! It’s a simple, yet smart watch!! Would recommend for those looking to track health stats but not have something too extra

Great watch with all the activities that I do. The only thing I want to mention is that I didn’t receive a charging cord with it. I was thinking it was included.

Never had a watch for years, not even a smartwatch, the instinct E is comfortable, and easy to use… has a lot of features…

The watch should have a setting where you can select a workout by double tapping or just tapping the GPS button but it doesn’t work. All it has is “track me”, i’m sure it’s just me not knowing how to work the Watch but I watched some videos and I still can’t figure it out. Otherwise great watch.

The spots in which the strap attaches broke very soon after purchase.
