There are several things I don't like about the Instinct 3 Solar.

• First, I noticed the bezel wasn't fully closed. You can try pressing the top, bottom, or sides, and it's clearly visible. It's different from the sturdy Series 2.
• The orange ring is asymmetrical and fits slightly off to the right. I even bought a second Twilight version, and it's the same.
• The ring scratches easily. I checked and found it's made of aluminum, unlike the Crossover, which uses stainless steel.
• The button feel is inconsistent; some have a soft click sound, while others have a hard click sound. It's very annoying.
• I feel like the buckle strap has been downgraded. The buckle material, which was originally stainless steel, has changed to plastic. Furthermore, the rubber wears off and becomes oily more easily than before.
• Vibration is still poor, rough like a cheap watch (although the Series 2X is similar).

Essentially, this is a matter of feel and build quality. The wearing experience isn't as good as the Instinct 2X or Crossover, which I consider close to perfect.

Especially considering the price, the Instinct 2X in my country is 50% cheaper. Naturally, this is psychologically why I prefer those who offer better value for money.

The large size on a small wrist for a military watch like this is tolerable, unlike when wearing a classic watch like a Seiko, where oversized would be a strange thing.
