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. However, some find the lack of a touchscreen and the size of the screen to be drawbacks. A few customers also mentioned that the price point and interface could be improved.

    The watch is good, durable, and you don't need your phone to get more than enough information on your exercise.
