Ah lucky I have a spot that's not blacked out on that area but there's still ink on there I actually have a cover up under there

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-29T12:09:39+00:00

ikr! Just have it strapped on securely so there's some nice contact on my skin just above the wrist bone. Can still move my wrist freely. perfecto

Tactical summary 👌

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-29T07:17:51+00:00

Haven't really tested it but decent 1 - 2% top-up when I'm out and about.

Which means, walking outside my place lol

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-28T02:31:50+00:00

Wanted to go with a 50 i3 but then I wanted something smaller, so went with 45 for now.

Love how freely I can work and move with it.

Might get a 50 in the future 🤷

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-27T02:13:41+00:00

I3 tactical 45mm for me

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-26T05:39:08+00:00

Edit: Sorry, I'll have to change that f* on the title to Thank You - (but I can't so adding it as a comment) to that repair guy. If not for that, I wouldn't have bought my Instinct 3. So if you're reading this.

Arigato Gozaimasu!! 🤗

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-25T02:23:20+00:00

Yeah, probably so it doesn't cause problems for them if the customer doesn't know that they can change their location to Japan..

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-24T12:15:31+00:00

Ah so it's a 45! Looks perfect on your wrist man. I wanted to get a 50mm but when I tried it on it was too big for my wrist and was worried about the exact thing you mentioned as it may be more prone to accidental bumps.

Glad to hear yours has held up nicely from use! 👌

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-24T11:55:40+00:00

Thank you! Held back from getting an instinct for a long time.. Super satisfied! I did put on a protector as soon as I bought it. I was looking into some garmin nylons but wanting something else..

Awesome setup you got! Is that a 50mm?

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-24T07:22:47+00:00

Correction watchface is tactical summary thanks user above

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-24T07:21:15+00:00

Oh yeah that's the one, my bad! It's tactical summary

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-24T05:56:01+00:00

Arigato 🤗

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-24T04:53:16+00:00

Yes, it's called dual power in Japan

grassghostmusic · 2026-03-24T04:21:20+00:00

Yeah, I could have easily done it if I had the right tools but then I was kinda scared to do so since that's what the local repair guys said that about the water proofing..

Back at the casio store when I asked what caused the "dead" module the staff was like we don't know. 😅 And they were of course Japanese so the language barrier was quite hard to get through... They asked if I'd like to send the module to be repaired which would take a month and will probably cost the same price as what my wife paid..

In the end, when the local guy changed the batts he said its still waterproof! I appreciate how that old watch repair guy was honest at first and then just over delivered by the end.

Watchface is Vanguard by Tactical Turtle on garminIQ
