mSants732 0.5Tbf, I sold my AWU2 for an Instinct 3 AMOLED and disliked it, sold it and got an AWU3. I miss the battery life and torch feature but it didn’t do enough with my phone to prefer it over an AWU. I have a Whoop 5.0 and the AWU3 now. Love it

FactorSimilar7049 0.4Garmin instant3 or enduro only have to charge it every other week with a lot of gps use
acaciadeadwalk 0.3Instinct 3 amo Getting 10 days with always on display, always connected to phone for weather.
AloneTradition8536 0.3As a gift, I think it is a good choice. Battery life is fair, you can go out for a 5 to 7 days of travel without charger or cable for Venu 3. In the daily life, I usually charge it once every week, but it can definitetly last even longer than one week. I have Venu3, Instinct 3 AMOLED and one Apple Watch, but my favorite is still Venu3.
Alwaysout14 0.3I have the instinct 3 AMOLED and it’s been awesome. I received it on August 14th, starting wearing it the 15th and have yet to charge it since. Battery still shows 6 days left which is incredible
No I do the wrist gesture and have it on low light, which is plenty for me and still able to see just fine outside
ChrisT182 0.3Agreed with many of the folks here- don't buy the newest devices, and if you do, wait for a flash deal. I have the Instinct 2X, but I found the Instinct 3 Amoled for 200$ off...figured why not.
Ctrl-Alt-Pete 0.3Whilst I can’t comment on the differences between the watches you’ve mentioned, I think you’d be mad for NOT going back to Garmin. I went from AW to Instinct AMOLED and would never go back to Apple.
doyouthinkitsreal 0.3I was in the same boat last month; I stretched a little bit and bought the Instinct 3 AMOLED. I'm happy with the purchase. What you will miss is the mobile app UI/UX, as well as the watch's. If your main goal is battery, notifications and health, then go for it.
Glong0913 0.3I had a galaxy watch 4 for awhile (I use it because I am an android user) but I got a Venu 2 had it for about 2 years and the battery life was insane and since then I switched to a instinct 3 amoled, and the battery life is even better, I charge maybe every 2 weeks or more. I dont do crazy runs but want to soon. Rn it just tracks walks i do every day
