    Bought the original instinct loved it but it had a few little drawbacks. This however is a totally revamped and much better instinct. Number one the screen is larger very easy to see, the display is very Vivid for an MIP. Love the flashlight I think it is such a useful feature and the battery just lasts forever and with a solar charging it just is icing on the cake. Very happy that I purchased this

    I've used it every day. It's the perfect fitness watch with functionality. It lasts, on average, about 30 days on one charge; I couldn't ask for more. However, the original band is starting to show signs of deterioration.

    Great watch, great battery life with a ton of cool features, I have not gotten a chance to use most of them but have used the workout tracker and heartbeat monitor. The battery life estimate seems to be slightly off but overall happy with my purchase.

    Great watch! Love the more advance options available for tactical community! I use this everyday to track my workouts. Makes it so easy between the app and the computer to see my progress. Also use it at work for long range shooting. Great software! Extremely accurate and the convience of having that information on my wrist instead of having to consult my phone or a book in invaluable. Ive had the watch a month and its still at 90% battery life. Super comfortable to wear. And it takes the rigors i put it through at work, or during my workouts. Great tech that makes my everyday personal and professional life easier.

    This is a good upgrade from the original instinct. The health metrics are spot on as long as you wear it every day. The battery life is great. Lasting for days and weeks.

    Got as a gift for my husband for the most part he likes it, but sometimes it disconnects from his phone and has to reconnect it manually. Also he has had issues with it freezing.
