Ordered it (surf edition) on last sale with the same price.

Pros:
- Very happy with the battery life (I moved from GW4, which I have to charge it every 1.5 days). I work in a plant setting, but only 10% of my work involve outdoor. And I don't need to do yard work as it is winter now. So I am getting at least 7 days with sleep monitor, exercise 30 min per day, call/text/email notifications from phone and continuous HR monitoring.
- Surf edition looks very neat. This, however, can be a con as it is white, and it may be stained over the time easily.
- It is surprisingly light, and the watch strap is very comfortable (again comparing to my GW4)

Cons:
- My biggest complain is it does not support Asian language. All my text in Chinese is %$#$#&*. As far as I know, there is no way around it for Instinct. I almost returned the watch because of this, and Buydig offered me a discount and I ended up keeping it with some refund.
- As I mentioned, the Surf edition looks good (that's why I ordered it not the other two colors). But it is difficult to find a matching strap for different appealing. The color on Garmin website says it is white/lakeside blue, and I ordered a lakeside blue strap from Amazon with no luck of matching the color. In addition, it of couse does not look styling comparing to GW4 for a more formal situation...
Best watch and fitness tracker I've ever owned. I'd buy another one for backup if they had it in black. Never deals on the black ones.
Had been looking at this one. Wasn't sure for $199+. However, at $150 I think it will be a step up from my Amazfit.

Thanks for the rundown. Does the surf edition always have the tides displayed on the face, or can that be changed to something else?

Good price on a last-gen instinct solar. This a great choice if you are looking for B&W mid-resolution screen with good battery life.
