   1 year of daily use and this watch works amazing. Battery life is very good over 16 days if you don't use it while you sleep you could extend Battery life for more. GPS works very good. I needed a simple watch with good GPS and comfortable wear. This is it. I will probably update for second one with solar one day but this watch did everything I needed. Good Battery life
   Comfortable band
   Good visibility in sun
   You can still link it to your phone and get notifications. Also watch looks amazing.
   Recommend for sure. Thanks

   I'm not a rugged outdoorsman, but I really like this watch. I was looking for a rugged smartwatch because my last smartwatch (Samsung Galaxy Active2) only lasted about nine months even though I have an office job and my idea of exercise is walking. I've only had this watch for three weeks and it appears rugged but time will tell. The Instinct does all that I want for a smartwatch to do and more, namely:
   
   1. I can easily view data I care about monitoring at a glance. In my case, I put time, date, steps, heart rate, and battery status on the home screen. There are numerous other options. No, it's not a fancy, color display, but I don't care about that. I can easily see what I want at a glance even in full sun.
   2. I can easily monitor notifications and text messages at a glance. When a notification, text, or email comes in, the watch vibrates and I can easily see what it is at a glance. If I decide to read the full text, email, or whatever, it's easy to scroll down and read the whole thing.
   3. I can easily set timers and alarms which I use regularly.
   4. The phone finder works well and it's easy to access.
   
   This thing has just loads of other features that I'll use sometimes. But this watch does well the main things that I want a smartwatch to do at a price that doesn't break the bank. A few other items of note:
   
   -The battery life is phenomenal. I wore it 10 days before I charged it the first time and I could have gone longer. I was down to one bar, so I went ahead and plugged it up at the end of the day. At the rate the battery had been draining, I probably could have gone another two or three days on that last bar. Personally, I don't mind plugging up a watch every night, but if you like long battery life, this watch has it.
   -I wear the watch continuously unless I'm charging it, including in the shower. No problems.
   -As you can see in the photos, I invested in the silicone cover for the watch. I also got a screen protector and silicone plugs for the charging port. All this extra protection is likely overkill but, like I said, I had a bad experience with regard to longevity of my last smartwatch. I also got a metal band just because I prefer metal bands.
   
   The only slight downside to the watch in my view is linked to what I consider one of its strengths. Because the watch doesn't have a touchscreen (a plus for several reasons in my opinion), everything must be done by pressing buttons and some of those actions aren't intuitive. Furthermore, the book that comes with the watch isn't that much help. But here's what I've discovered ... There are a multitude of videos online that explain anything you want to know about the Instinct. With the help of these videos, the things I do most often on the watch soon became second nature. If there's something new that I want to do on it, there's another video out there waiting for me.
