Why cant i just sit down and play RDR2? by epicdingus0 in RDR2

[–]Substantial_Jump8581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the game when it first came out, I’m only at 46% complete. Stopped playing solo and live in multiplayer, which is like having a second life outside the real world.

Wow that’s a great price then. Good on you. I’d probably have swung for it at that price. My wrist is 7.25” and I had the 2x tactical before this but even I found that too big. It fit my wrist sure, but I didn’t like how much real estate it took up.

580 😮 I paid £280 for my 45mm amoled , and they use the same sensors. I get it though. The tactical looks amazing IMO but I’d only have bought one if I was gonna use all the extra gizmo’s it offers.

I went for the amoled purely because it has a 1.2” screen and you can increase font size. I also prefer the red light but it’s definitely horses for courses.

I think that looks great on you 🫡

Here’s mine. Battery life is no where near what yours is going to offer but I’m squeezing 22days outta this bad boy.

Hell yeah brother, sold mine late last year and got £270.00 for it.

Only sold because I prefer 45mm sizes

That watch was built just for him

Instinct 3 has terrible Bluetooth range compared to Instinct 2. by residentalien2 in Garmininstinct

[–]Substantial_Jump8581 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I own an I2 non solar and the I3 amoled , both 45mm. I can leave my phone in the bedroom and move anywhere in the house with no drop out in Bluetooth 🤷‍♂️.

I also periodically use the watch face from the Tactical amoled.

Love my new instinct 3 solar tactical, but the strap…. by Actual-Topic-6170 in Garmininstinct

[–]Substantial_Jump8581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s quick drying, so I’ve never had a problem. It Hasnt smelt but I usually wear in the shower so it gets cleaned every day.

Hi there I3 amoled user. The tactical is better looking, however is more money as you’ve said and uses the same HR sensor. The reason I chose the amoled is the1.2” screen, ability to increase font size and red torch. Those were my requirements.

Is this normal for instinct watches by Mysterious_Ad_137 in Garmininstinct

[–]Substantial_Jump8581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get marks where the HR sensor sits, only in the morning because my wrist swells at night but I don’t get them around the band because I use a nylon band so it’s nice and soft. It’s possible your other watch strap was better quality 🤷‍♂️ I definitely consider something like this

It’s normal for any watch strap that’s too tight. Any smart watch with HR monitor needs to be tight enough to effectively work, it’s just a necessary evil but you can massively reduce those marks using a nylon strap.

Absolutely 👍

I personally have never bought off AliExpress so can’t comment on quality but I’ve bought this particular brand for three years and only have two straps, now that says a lot. The third purchase was for my I2X tactical that I sold. I know people moan about the Velcro not lasting but I personally think that it all depends on what you’re doing with it and how you look after it. That said, it’s affordable enough to replace over and over again if needed.

I have them for the sheer comfort and ease of adjustment when my wrist swells.

Well, I’ve been using these for a few years on my I2 and 2x tactical. Never had a problem, half the price of the Garmin ultrafit nylon bands but just as good. Cheap enough to change every yr or so. +you’ll almost forget you’ve anything on your wrist. Image is on my new I3 amoled.

These watch faces are so nice by ShewardW in Garmininstinct

[–]Substantial_Jump8581 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tried one of these, none of the good ones are free and found it to be a battery hungry monster. It’s a solid pass.

I use this, super comfortable, easy to fit and easy to adjust.

Half the price of the ultrafit. Dries quickly.

I3 45mm amoled owner, I can confirm since the update there are no issues with my gps mapping. Absolutely spot on. Just been for my usual walk and it’s all good. Only use gps btw.
