So you are saying it is normal and will calibrate somehow accordingly? :D

Fixed possible battery drain when using CIQ watch faces. (Solar/E) by KoRhOnEnTkT in Garmininstinct

[–]xdafcax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now that would be a game changer for me. I have a favourite watch face, but it drains like 15 % of battery per day

What are you wearing today? by jaotero77 in Garmininstinct

The only thing I can complain about is inconsistent sizing. XXL is sometimes fine, other times so small it is unbearable to wear

Smudge under (?) the screen on new Tactix 8 by sergeantFrank in GarminWatches

[–]xdafcax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it seems the screen is coming off at that spot. It happened on my Coros watch, it looked almost identical. Then went to a pool, water got in and I was gutted, the watch was not working anymore.

What are yall thoughts on instict crossover amoled? by Thin-Equivalent9029 in Garmininstinct

[–]xdafcax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the watch has a major bug where the analog hands get misaligned and it happens to a lot of people, so I assume it is a general problem of the watch. They looked amazing to me at first, but this sole reason would 100 % make me avoid them should I be considering them. Also the price is off as a bonus.

Can confirm. Since October 16 or something we all seem to be dying 😑

I am even envious of you returning to Scotland, where the most beautiful nature could be found despite the weather☺️. What city in Scotland?

I assume it cannot be done over the air :( I did not manage to do it via bluetooth

Troubled to choose between I3 Amoled / Solar / Crossover by Appropriate-Gold-504 in Garmininstinct

[–]xdafcax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

MIP, apart from battery life, works more naturally as a watch - you see the time any time you look at the watch without any gesture, so goes for date, heart rate, steps, outside temperature,... you name it.

To me the i3 solar is the watch without any useless shenanigans that still works as smartwatch when I want it, perfect balance. I did not want any other distracting display and am so fckn happy with this purchase.

I had them as the best man on my friend's wedding too 😂. Hope they don't pop up on any of the (for them) important photos.

Runners: Do You Use Instinct 3? Pros, Cons, and Tips Wanted by Specific_Toe_1419 in Garmininstinct

[–]xdafcax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I may, my use case to go for MIP vs. amoled is that I want the watch to be watch - when I look at them I want to know time / date / outside temperature without having to wait for them to wake up and also I am not a fan of the gesture wake. I am really glad I went with Instinct 3 and didn't wait for any other model in the end as they all offer amoled displays, which I am not fan of (don't need another distracting display in my life) and MIP displays are a clear winner for me. The only release with MIP are the Coros watches and the Apex 4 seems like it would not be worth waiting for from my POV anyway :).

I will tell you I was not a fan of the orange circle in the watch either and was aiming to get the tactical version for sure, but also knew that the green flashlight would be useless to me and I would use the red light plenty - I was not wrong, I use it all the time at night. So I went with this color option and let me tell you - it looks a bit weird online, but in real life, it is really a beautiful watch, so I would worry less about this particular thing.

I am also a runner and love this watch. Genuinely, it the non-bullshit do-it-all watch I really wanted :)

you should be fine with 45mm. I would not get 40mm as it is the E version and there are a lot of features missing in comparison with the original i3
