T-rex 3 vs Garmin Instinct 2
Have you seen any images of the Garmin Instinct 2 mapping ??? It’s nothing like the T-Rex 3’s. The Garmin Instinct is a rugged watch, but it’s designed for maximum battery life. The mapping isn’t as detailed or responsive as on the T-Rex 3. You really need to know what you want. I’d recommend the T-

Wishing for a GBD200 with Tough Solar
I believe the consensus is it's pretty accurate. Up until about a month ago I used to wear a Garmin Instinct 2X Solar. When I initially compared them (wearing them on each wrist) the step difference was noticeable, about 3k - 4k (maybe more.) I decided to use my iPhone 15 Pro as a pedometer. Turns o

Do I really need solar?
Also, instinct is not really a smartwatch, it's a GPS sport tracker with some smartwatch functions, just so you know Even Fenix watches from Garmin don't have as many "smartwatch" features as something like apple watch I actually changed from instinct 2X solar to Fenix 7X solar for the better maps,

Garmin Fenix Release Patterns: Fenix 9
What are you on my guy? I didn't say the Fenix 7 is better than the 8, I was mostly, deservedly, making fun the Fenix 8 PRO (key on PRO). Quick points: * The Fenix 8 Pro InReach uses the Skylo satellite system which are static satellites and have worse connection, the other InReach devices use the I
