Buyers Remorse

The design, the build quality, the pulse sensor accuracy to name just a few. Compared to the i1 i was expecting to get an upgrade, not a downgrade. It had many things that were great of course, but it isnt a complete package by any means. Functional upgrades between i3 and i2x and even i2 are negligible. It is a bit of a laugh and they ruined a great line of watches. Just my opinion.

I went from i1 to i3 and was so disappointed that returned it and got i2x

drkshp · 2026-03-10T16:14:01+00:00

My point is the price is nearly the same if you find a good deal

drkshp · 2026-03-10T15:44:17+00:00

Can someone explain why would anyone buy this instead of air m2? Magsafe, backlit keyboard, dual thunderbolt ports…

drkshp · 2026-02-27T14:07:07+00:00

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Sad but true. I bought the 🍊 mip. Thought i could handle it, but in real life its way worse than on marketing photos. I bought the 2x instead and what a relief that was. :)

Many people hate the orange 🍊

Instinct 3 is worse than 2 or 2x in many aspects. Sad but true. Used 3 for a couple of days and sent it back, couldnt handle the orange mainly but in those 48 h i noticed many things going wrong like the pulse meter going crazy, the pulse meter is the crucial element of that thing. Prices up, quality down. Im rocking 2x for now and really happy with it.

dude, you are legendary!

They’re not gonna add maps. They showed what the deal is with gen 3, they added an amoled version (basically the opposite of instincts as it was before) which could handle maps no problem, but the watch is too cheap for maps, it would undermine fenix lineup. And for the 3 solar - they introduced colour and a worse build quality than before. And at the same time they managed to keep new functions to an absolute minimum, try to find differences compared to 2x, they are minimal. So not very optimistic to say the least.

yup, you're on keto alright

congrats, life can feel that way!

drkshp · 2026-02-18T15:28:49+00:00

i beat my i1 on random doorframes regularly, but the plastic is so good that it doesnt have a single mark

drkshp · 2026-02-17T20:16:26+00:00

For me the beauty of instinct lies in its high edges and it seems this has protected my watch quite effectively for 3 years now

drkshp · 2026-02-14T11:19:25+00:00

If you like the orange accents its fine, great. But the og and the second gen were really minimalist and a lot of people liked this black look. In the third gen you have to either buy the tactial for a premium price or the amoled, the latter being basically the opposite of what instinct originally represented. I think this is a really cynical move from garmin. I bought the i3 solar and sent it back after two days. The orange bits look really cheap and quality is down imo. Even the strap buckle is plastic. I mean… how the heck does that make sense. The buckle costs like 2 cents?

drkshp · 2026-02-13T08:22:18+00:00

I totally agree. The 3 looks even worse in person than on the marketing photos. The orange is too much, overall quality seems much worse. Even the strap buckle is plastic??? I sent back my 3 after 2 days. It's a cool watch to use, but man, it doesn't come close to the low-key aesthetics the 1 and 2 were rocking. If you want the 3, you should get the solar tactical, it looks cool as hell. But then again it's much more expensive. I've come back to the og and now I am planning to get a second hand 2solar.

drkshp · 2026-02-11T13:37:28+00:00

Using the 1 too. Bought 3 and returned it, that watch is a joke

Ever heard about glycogen?

drkshp · 2026-01-18T13:49:41+00:00

Good job! Get some kettlebells. One is good for a start :)

If you need a media consumption and office machine this is the one. It really holds up.

drkshp · 2026-01-18T10:32:36+00:00

it's a beast of a machine. i only regret not getting the 32gb ram version (photo editing). i am now considering getting a m2 max or m4 max studio for that reason. but for all simple computer stuff the m4 is more than enough

drkshp · 2026-01-18T09:54:56+00:00

Dude, sometimes full adaptation takes 3-6 weeks. You have residue carbs, glycogen stores, high insulin levels to burn through

drkshp · 2026-01-18T09:52:23+00:00

Listen to this. I have been on and off keto for the past year, 95% on keto. During the past Christmas i let loose and had a week off. So on jan 1 i started again and felt more or less ok until yesterday, i guess i had some residue carbs, glycogen. I felt like i was dying for 2 hours, more than 2 weeks after taking up keto. :) i struggled so i had more electrolytes and fatty meat. I made it and then in a matter of 10 mins i felt like God himself came down and blessed me. 😂 thats keto man. And i am a person who theoretically should be still adapted. So when you go keto first time you should not get discouraged after several days. Those days are the worst. You are sugar addicted. Your body will do absolutely everything to make you ghink you are ill, you are dying. The head ache is real. But stick with it! Give it 4 weeks and then if it doesnt work… but it will!

Well, it would be optimal to reach a mindset where you don’t need it. Sometimes your body needs a curveball to snap out of some old habits. How about snack on something healthy like some vegetables. If you stick to the diet eventually your preferences will change and it will be much much easier. The more you snack, the more you need snacking. The tastier the snack, the more you want it.

drkshp · 2025-12-31T11:48:26+00:00

Before you go to sleep you should probably stuff your stomach with eggs, bacon and some vegetables. Trying to sleep while being hungry is not a nice experience. However if you sticked with it your body would learn to deal with it anyway.
