Instinct 2X Solar

For some reason, the torch only seems to come in the 45-50. I literally have anxiety now when I don’t have my I2X on my wrist, especially at night. The torch may be my most used feature now. 40 isn’t an option for me.

I went from an Instinct 2X Whitestone to a Venu 4 all black 45mm. My main reasons were; Newer and better sensor, V5 vs old V4, (i was hoping it would have the V6 by now but that doesnt seem to be coming any day soon) ECG, Smart Wake Alarm, Habit tracking, Sleeker design, The Instinct was quite bulky and doesn't really 'dress up' very well. An OLED with touchscreen takes a bit getting used to. I still much prefer the MIP screens of old. Better visible in sunlight, use a lot less battery and are always on. Having to tap or lift the OLED watch is really gonna take some getting used to. Compared to the Instinct it feels a bit 'dainty' but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I seem to be getting around 12 days on 100% so that's enough. Obviously not as much as the Instinct but more than enough to never be caught short. So far i really like it. The Watch can do more, it shows more details when you go into stuff like sleep or hrv. The colours are nice and the display is pretty bright. I do worry a little bit about keeping the screen nice. I guess time will tell how it holds up durability wise. Really glad to have kept the flashlight! Something that i did notice that was a pleasant surprise is that it seems to charge noticeably faster than my instinct did. I'll need more Time to really get a feel for it but it seems to be extremely rich in features. I wanted the latest sensor and all the latest features, without spending a grand on a fenix. Venu 4 is the awnser

My bad, on my instinct 2x i cannot find a diving mode nor Activity.

Instinct 2X solar. Picked it for the battery life, solar charging, and flashlight. Don’t love the size but it was the best option with those features that fit the budget.

Instinct 2x solar ticks all these boxes for me except for size. It's a big watch but that suits me fine.

Hiker here. Instinct 2x solar does everything I need and is extremely durable. Price point is great.

Yeah, I wouldn’t consider it an advantage either but it was a selling point so I included it. I had it on my Apple Watch and hated it, never used it, and don’t even like phone call notifications buzzing my wrist. I don’t dive either so there’s no reason for me to buy the 8 for $500+ more than the 7.

I love the flashlight haha. I had an instinct 2X as my last watch and used it all the time. But yeah, I’m super happy with the Fenix 7 pro.

This comment being downvoted is insane lmao. The instinct is literally “a solid daily driver that doesn’t skip on the essential performance metrics.” I recommended the Fenix 7X pro in another comment just because it can be had for a pretty good deal right now but the Instinct 2X or 3 would easily be my next recommendation.
