Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Instinct Smartwatch's exceptional battery life and durability. Many appreciate its GPS functionality for outdoor activities and the ability to track various health metrics, including heart rate and sleep.

    This watch is great! Battery life is amazing. I charge it once a week. I could probably get away with 2 weeks though.

    I wanted to like it but it is severely lacking in the interface and ease of use. It looks great and has great battery life but this watch is liken more to an old Casio in screen with smart features that require constant phone use to interface with. I can't read my messages easily, can't answer the phone on it, or easily see or read anything. If you are looking for simple and rugged then this might be a good choice but not for someone looking for features. Also extremely inaccurate with steps and sleep recording. Returning.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Garmins are great- be prepared, this one is heavier than others and the face is definitely for those with larger wrists. I exchanged for a smaller watch (forerunner).

    This has revolutionized my exercise habits and is a great tool for tracking your movements on day hikes. Battery lasts 10-12 days between charges with moderate use. Wonderful product.

    Amazed by the battery life so far. Had it about three weeks and still has about half a full charge. Use it normally for a watch with some of the other functions but haven’t use it for navigation yet. Like it so far

    This is now my goto watch for all outings. It’s great for when I go for bicycle rides or just a trail walk. I find it to be very accurate when I exercise on my Max Trainer. Great watch.
