Love This Watch - The first Instinct Solar I picked up from Nest Buy had battery problems. It would only last 4 day no matter what settings I was using. I went ahead and exchanged it at the store. The new one now lasts over 20 day. The watch is very rugged east to read. Would definitely purchase again
