    Wish offered band customization options when purchasing like the amoled version. The flashlight is the best feature!

    It did not come with a manual, and as complex as it is it needs one. I know it is on line, but that requires more work for me, plus I now need my PC to be able to use-learn all the features. It's nice to have a written manual to refer to with out going to a computer. I wasn't aware to use al the features I need to buy apps, it would have nice to be told that up front.

    Amazing watch with great features. I enjoy the fact that it is not a touch screen. The screen is very visible even in bright conditions. It functions great for triathletes and automatically tracks your transitions.

    Decided to upgrade from my Instinct 2 and was mostly disappointed. This is a fantastic watch, just not worth the upgrade if you have the 2 or 2x. Probably worth the upgrade if you still have the original Instinct, otherwise wait this one out for the inevitable much improved 4. After ten days of use, decided to return and go back to the 2
