Thoughts on the Instinct Solar?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I love my Forerunner 235. Had it for a couple of years now, so I'm charging it more and more often these days. Also started ultra distance and worried about battery life. Any first hand experience of the new solar watches? I'm in SE England, so not sure the weather is good enough?

Coming from a Forerunner, you might be missing VO₂max and related features (Training Effect, Running Power, etc). Also it does not support Connect IQ technology that you might be used to, for diverse extensions…

Coming from a Forerunner, you might be missing VO₂max and related features (Training Effect, Running Power, etc). Also it does not support Connect IQ technology that you might be used to, for diverse extensions. And no Running Dynamics.

Also, no colors, though I think it is tather an adventage, because its display is perfectly readable even in direct sun light (the more light, the better, in fact).

Other than that, it is an excellent and a heavy-duty watch, and very light in plus.
