Pros

  • Got this as the first watch I have worn in 3 decades or more and love it. It has been awesome for hiking and still looks pretty much brand new after a year of wearing it at work labouring.
  • It's Instinct 2x and I already love it. Bought it off eBay for £220 with one year warranty certified refurbished so basically Mint! Love the colour, screen size, it's snappiness and torchlight!
  • If you like the looks of it, the Instinct 2X has a lot of features and might be the best bang for your buck. Oh and 40 days of battery, and with enough sunlight ... ♾️
  • Long battery and rugged with solar charging and I would recommend Instinct 2X or Instinct 3 Solar.
  • Now with the Instinct 2X I'm discovering a whole new load of information in the acute / chronic training load, training readiness, training status etc.

Cons

  • I've been looking at Instinct 2x for a while but today I saw the 955 for a measly 280€, is it worth it?
  • I upgraded from a Instinct 2X to a Enduro 3
  • Instinct 2x, foreruner 255, 955
  • But over the instinct 2x for $100, the i3 has been improved enough.

I bought the instinct 2x a week ago based on my needs from a smartwatch. I like to stay minimal ,so the mip and features I needed checked all the boxes for me. I've been enjoying it so far so to me it's still worth it in 2025. Even tho the instinct 3 came out, the new features aren't justified by the price.
