Have had it in everyday use for two weeks. Great watch. The GPS signal works faster than the instinct solar tactical 2. The solar panel itself hasn’t been as big of an improvement as I thought HOWEVER I have only charged it once since I got it and I use the different training programs for approximately 3 hours a day. So I guess it does make a difference but just not as dramatically as Garmin claims. Now that summer has started Ill get a better picture of how much the solar panel affects battery life. Two things to look out for: 1) the wrist band itself is a bit tough in the beginning, feels like hard plastic. This started going away the more I use it. Garmin also offers a selection of replacement bands anyway. 2) the GPS and SET/BACK buttons can be pressed accidentally during a strength workout (during bench press or clean for example) which can be a little annoying but this could be specific to the users wrist.
