That's the watch I have (instinct 3, solar tactical), It's fantastic, wife has one of the AMOLED versions. It's no worse than the AMOLED for looking at all the stats, as long as you don't absolutley need bright colors for some odd reason. The battery life and always on screen make it a clear winner for me.
I use it for sports tracking (Mainly runs, hikes, gym and cycling) and checking my recovery needed.
I can't see anything more you'd ever need in a watch, just seems perfect.
I'd had the instinct crossover for a few years before I bought this and it's still in utterly perfect condition, battery is still amazing. I work a physical and messy job, and I've worn it to work every day expecting it to get rather messed up. literally looks brand new, and i've accidently scraped it down brick walls and all kinds of sillyness. I only upgraded because I fancied trying out a solar one and loved the look of the tactical.
Garmin instinct crossover, 28 days battery life, 50 without constant hr measurement. Instinct 2x and instinct 3 solar 50mm have 40 days battery life, 70 without hr. And solar charging.
Check whether this reality. My crossover says I have 51 days battery life when the hr sensor is switched off, but in real life, it's about 33 days. Still amazing, but less.
Watch Concept: I use the Instinct Crossover, best hybrid watch on the market. Use: telling time, alarm, notifications and breadcrumb navigation while hiking. Nothing else.
I appreciate the craftsmanship in mechanical watches, but it's really just jewellery to me. I prefer functionality more. So I mostly use the Garmin Instinct Crossover, which has physical watch hands which I love and only have important notifications on.
