1 month in and I have yet to charge the thing. Still says 18 days of battery! Activities almost every day, enjoying the bonus sleep data it aggregates for you. The buzzing notifications were a bit much for me but with those switched off I’m happy. Highly recommend it for anyone engaging in a variety of activities. It even helped me run a BQ marathon time!

Awesome!
This watch was a great upgrade from my original instinct 1. The larger watchface is much easier to read. The solar charging is a nice feature as well!

Awesome watch
I got this watch from my wife for Christmas. I have used it enough now to know that this watch is great. The display could be the new fancy color everyone wants but in reality, I like that this watch can go weeks without charging and it has all the features I need or want. I imagine once summer comes around, I won't be charging it at all. I love it.

Thank you for your review.
Great activity tracking watch!
I have only had the watch for a few weeks, so I have not yet mastered it or fully utilized its capabilities. Regardless, it has worked great so far, and I am very pleased with it. It holds a charge much longer than other activity tracking watches, especially the apple watch, which I used previously, and water does not impede it functionality. I was concerned that the watch would be too bulky, but so far it has been no more of a concern than with an older Casio G-shock I own. It's a big watch...

Great size and battery life
I got it for Christmas and love wearing it. Has great features and the flashlight has come in handy many times.

Everything you need
Was hesitant to move from my other smart watch (Apple) but after making the switch I’ll never go back. As someone with a pretty active lifestyle I needed something more durable that I wouldn’t have to worry about scratching up. The Solar 2x Instinct is the perfect all watch. Granted, I don’t think I’ll be wearing this to the governors balls.. outside of extremely formal events, this is the only watch I’ll wear.

Great watch, but . . . .

Great battery life, dial is easy to read
Just wish the button text was bigger. Text on the plastic face is hard to read in anything but full lighting conditions

awesome watch
switched from instinct 2 solar to 2x solar mainly for size and memory storage and better gps. watch is very good and seems to be accurate in all the functions i use, no problems at all. recommend to anyone who wants a smart watch without looking like one. battery life is really good at 35 days. from my experience solar charge is about 1 extra day for every 2-3 hrs direct bright sun,same as the instinct 2 solar as well.

Battery life is amazing
Got rid of my Apple Watch 8 for this. Tried my son’s instinct solar for a couple weeks then bought a 2x for myself. Everything about this watch is amazing. The connect ap is great and gives a lot more insight to the things I find important vs. Apple.

Better than expected
My Vivoactive 4 was not holding a charge for more than a day. So, after complaining for a year my wife surprised me with the Instinct 2X Solar for Christmas. Wow! Wow! My Vivoactive worked and did its job for several years, but there is NO comparison to my Instinct 2X Solar. It is rugged and I hope it can take a beating, It does so much more than the Vivo 4 and the BEST thing so far is....I have had it for 14 plus days and it has not been on a charger and still indicates I have 25 days left u...

It's a wow! For me.
It was a Christmas gift. I'm impressed. Two paddling friends have same watch. They would report on our efforts after the paddle. Really cool. Still learning how to use it.

Great watch
Got as a present to upgrade from Instinct2. Battery not holding charge anymore(5 years old). Yes, it is larger but like the size. And solar is an added benefit. Cannot wait to yes in the mountains this year.
