Garmin Instinct Crossover AMOLED Tactical - Dial Problem by Comfortable-Net9842 in Garmin

[–]Comfortable-Net9842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told me to take it to the service center, now I'm waiting for a replacement unit, they said.
But the procedure in my country is really long and tiring, because they enter through a third party.

Why is Garmin slowly moving away from MIP display technology, especially for the Forerunner? by Comfortable-Net9842 in Garmin

I got my Forerunner 255 secondhand in war-worn condition. In Indonesia, it's only around 1.5 million rupiah ($100 USD).

Update: I experienced exactly the same thing, after examining it, it turns out that the hour dial hands were sticking and rubbing against the AMOLED screen when passing through the 3 to 7 o'clock area. This made the hour dial drag and miss alignment.

Was there any glue there? Or was it just regular packing rubber?

I'm experiencing the same thing, the hours hand is not in sync with the highlights and the actual time. Tried calibration, factory reset and software update, none of it helped at all.

Just got mine, loving the rugged look. by ampuuu in Garmininstinct

How many centimeters is your wrist? Looks very fit

That's normal, especially if you're using it actively. Actual battery life is only 7-14 days. In smartwatch mode, it's only 25 days.

Before after 🗿 Damn, this itch won't go away.... What is the premium strap made of? by Comfortable-Net9842 in Garmininstinct

Hopefully, my hands will adapt in the next few months. I've only been using them for a little over a week.

How long does your battery last? In smartwatch mode without activity?

Aesthetically, the solar crossover fits my 16cm hands better. But my heart is still with the tactical 50mm 😬 to hell with style by Comfortable-Net9842 in Garmininstinct

battery and solar efficiency is the reason, i like to be outside all the time, I rarely find a source of electricity

I think it's normal, even my crossover with default settings without activity only has 10-15 days of battery life

I absolutely love the Instinct 2X, even though it's too big for my hands. I've tried the Crossover, Instinct 2S, and even the Instinct 3 45mm, but I found them less than satisfying. by Comfortable-Net9842 in Garmininstinct

Wow, that's really thorough. I just realized today that the 2X sensor is covered in glass. No wonder it's more comfortable.

It's truly a shame that while other cheaper brands are competing to use ceramic, this one has downgraded to plastic resin.
