    I love this watch! I started hiking everyday and its just great to track my hike. It tells me how much time, track my trail, and intensity. In addition it customizable so you can add other trackers to activities that you do. I highly recommend purchasing this watch

    I've really been enjoying this watch. The solar charging is a bit slow to build that battery back up, but everything tracking wise is definitely accurate! I don't have the largest wrist by any means and the fit is spot on and comfortable. I also dig the simplicity of this watch and once you get the hang of the controls it is quick and easy to get where you want to go in it.

    Great watch I just don’t wear watches or need this much tech so I’m going to return it. Other than that I would totally keep it, just don’t need to spend that much money on something I’m not using.

    Christmas present. Can't really say anything about the product, but my daughter in law is a game warden and it was a requested present. That should speak volumes.

    This was an upgrade to the standard Instinct and the solar feature is fabulous. The standard Instinct is a wonderful watch and the solar feature just takes it to another level.
