My old instinct tactical

I bought the G shocks and came to Garmin instinct 3 solar and I got an instinct crossover. I'm praying these 2 watches last me years and years of service 🤞🤞 G shock just can't come close to these Garmin instinct watches

Instinct Crossover Swimming

Are there specific issues with crossover? I thought it has same spec as the whole range, so 100m. I used original instinct 1 for several years in swimming pools, rain, sauna, shower, sea (low salt), I always cleaned it with soap and water and so on. Zero issues, the watch still works fine and was on

Instinct 3 Tactical in its natural habitat

Here in Spain Garmin currently has a promotion to get a free strap, so I got the brown Instinct Crossover one. I think it goes really nicely with the Tactical I3, the yellow highlights don't stand out nearly as much as I feared they would.

Goodbye Suunto Vertical 2

Just adding my experience… i’m coming from a Garmin instinct crossover solar. I’ve had the vertical 2 for about a week now and I’m enjoying the simplicity of app and metrics. Obviously the screen is light years better. I had no real qualms with the Garmin software but I think I prefer Suunto. As for

Garmin vs Coros – Which watch fits my use case better?

This very true. I have the Coros Nomad and the Instinct E and Instinct Crossover. I love all of them, but the Garmin makes me want to wear it more because they seem a bit more health focused rather than training focused. Obviously a Whoop or Oura will be better for that, but for something that also

from Garmin to Amazfit and back

I switched to Amazfit by getting the Balance 2XT. As far as accuracy, it seemed extremely accurate. I didn't compare the heart rate and what not to something, just what I was use to from Garmin and Galaxy watch ultra. My one complaint was it kept losing its notifications ability. That's my main reas

Yo, check this out

I feel like everyone overreacting is tiring. The watch is new, it’s priced at a specific MSRP. NOBODY should ever buy a Garmin at msrp, and this watch will sell at around $500. The first Instinct Crossover which I had, cost more at the time than the instinct at the time, which I also had. It has to

Goodbye my beautiful hybrid Scanwatch 2, I will miss you... But I want DATA! Looking forward to life with my ugly Instinct 2 Solar.

Garmin Instinct Crossover AMOLED looks promising. Yes, they have sports style comparison with withings, but with respect to your current timepiece they may be an option. Unfortunately, really good hybrid watches can be counted on the fingers of one seasoned machinist’s hand, these days.

Given my rocky start with the Fitbit Air, I decided to TOFTT, and compare it to the Helio strap.

Yeah I've been slowly going that direction. First step for me was to get the Garmin Instinct Crossover Amoled. Since it looks more like a mechanical watch. Next step might be over to Tissot. But I am curious on your overall thoughts between those two devices. Because that's exactly what my thoughts

Apple S7 to Garmin

I tried the Enduro 3, it works, and is the best Fenix 8 line model imho. Though I didn't like the reflections on the screen. It is useable, but I expected a much clearer display (an issue since Fenix 7). Battery is great, it feels light, and size is big but didn't feel big for me. Instinct 3 Solar T
