    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.

    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.
