Yep, the Instinct does. The non solar version was being discounted at nearly 40% of (some color only). No discount for the solar. I am thinking waiting for Instinct 2. Have strongly look at the Fenix 5 and even 6, but find the screen not so bright, coming from Samsung Amoled screen which is so much better.

I find some features really helpful, sunrise and sunset time, trackback, and those ABC/Storm Alert.

As i travel sometimes and must know the sunset time to avoid driving in the dark. But at the moment i can get the info on my handphone, do no rush to get the Instinct yet.
 
The display is incredible, but I just don't love the watch. It has a really comfortable, soft strap (best G Shock strap for the money, hands down) with tons of holes for adjustment, tons of cool functionality, BT (if that is your thing), etc., etc...but I never find myself wanting to wear it. I guess I'm a square dude, but still this has enough of that DNA I thought I would like it more. Hopefully someday the MIP display finds its way into a 5600 body.
Interesting feedback, I think this is the first negative feedback I've seen about the GBX. I only own squares - love em - but have thought about getting the GBX numerous times because of the MIP display and because I also felt it would have enough 'square DNA', as you so eloquently put it. Now I'm not so sure. [emoji848]

Back on the fence I go!

Among standard, inexpensive Gs (without the MIP display), the GD-350-1B has the best negative display I've seen.

You might not believe it, but I've got a few Gs with negative displays that are far worse than the G-9000-3V, for example the GX-56BB-1. I'd say the G-9000-3V is about average for a G negative display.

Here's my GD-350-1B next to my GW-9400-1. I find the GD-350-1B nearly as readable in marginal light as my positive display GD-350-1C.

Fully agree on the GD350. I don't think any solar G-Shock has a good negative display. I sold my Rangeman as it just couldn't compete with my GD350.
