    It is a good watch but it is really overpriced for what it offers. Sleeping tracking is not really accurate for me.

    Glitchy at Best

    I wonder if I got an open box product. When the associate gave it to me out of the case, the box was not sealed in any way and the watch seemed loose inside the box. Independent reviews note problems downloading music. I could not as well, but worse, I was unable to download maps. It stopped the downloading at 30% complete and seemed to freeze. Far too glitchy for the money and I don't want any hassles while out on a hike. Returning this after 2 days.

    It's honestly too heavy or maybe it feels that way to me. But I got super used to the instinct 2 and this watch felt weird. Solid watch though.
