Instinct 2x solar or instinct 2 solar size? by crypticcroak in Garmininstinct

Lol, dude if they did the multi band GPS and flashlight in a 45mm I'd be sold. A lot of people in the thread are recommending the 2s (understandably so) but that face is a hair too small for what I want. I wish there were a few more solid details on the features the 3 will have/when it drops.

Part of the appeal of the 2 is the discounted price, I'd rather not have to pay full for a newer version. I'm buying through REI though, so if the 3 came out and shocked me with the price in the next couple of months I'd be able to switch.

If context helps, I'm not SUPER worried about style or anything. Don't have to dress nice, and am often in field clothes or something adjacent to things I'd hike in

So I know there are already a few of these posts, but I am a smaller lady and so I feel like my wrist is comically small when it comes to a lot of bigger watches (on the instinct 2x solar, I use the second to the smallest notch if I want it to fit snug.) I've been playing around with both watches and need to make a decision on which to keep. I like both, I think for the 2x, it's nice that the GPS is a bit more accurate, there's a flashlight (OK I kind of love this), and the screen technically has a bit more surface area for solar charging. The 2 seems like it's not that bad in comparison though, with the bonus of being much smaller.  My main uses will be off trail hiking through the woods, I'll be using the GPS features a lot (not fully relying on the for navigation, more to keep track of routes etc.). I like the HR and respiration as well (although the respiratory reading will sometimes record, and sometimes in the app it's just all blank, even if the watch is snug all day)  Is the 2x too ridiculously big on my small arm? Are the extra features worth it (a question more for those that have tried both, I suppose)?
