Instinct crossover

My story: 2 years ago I was debating between Instinct 2 Solar and Instinct Crossover Non-Solar (which I found used for 150$). Went with Crossover, best decision. Then after one year I broke it (see my other posts). Could have picked Fenix 8 Solar, but no I was in love with MIP + hands. Luckily my Ga

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

Instinct 3 45mm AMOLED - second guessing purchase

All good. I have AMOLED smart watches and I just can't get into them. Too distracting, battery draining, difficult to read outside and fragile for me. The Instinct Crossover is perfect for me. And then Garmin go and completely ruin it with their latest implementation.

OG instinct still kicking

If the battery goes really bad, you can still go find a third party battery replacer. Generally I prefer the 2 series because they have good BT range and have Garmin Pay.

Why are Amazfit watches so cheap?

My Garmin Instinct Crossover Amoled broke. I sent it back waiting for a replacement so I bought BIP 6 just for fun. Turns out its really good. The price is about 10x less expensive than Garmin. I would say its far more responsive and the screen is better. Garmin is way too overpriced. Once I get it

Instinct 3 50mm Solar Tactical vs Instinct Crossover Amoled(Non-tactical)

I have had both the instinct 50 tactical and the crossover AMOLED. They are just totally different. The I3 is the nicest MIP I’ve ever owned on any brand. Better than Casio. Unless the room is completely dark, you can see the face without backlight. Monochrome and all that but throw back cool. And…t

Instinct Crossover Amoled, impulse buy during black friday

My journey with Garmin started with Instinct Crossover and it was very authentic and charismatic watch. Specially because of hands. Now with AMOLED it seems way way better, hands is infinity AOD and AMOLED help with data - awesome! Moreover - flashlight and up-to-date sensors - what would be better?
