T-rex 3 Pro 48mm (switched from Garmin)

Nice review :) I have to agree, because I am also very surprised with my T-Rex Ultra 2. Also coming from Garmin, for last year I have been using Instinct 3 Solar 50mm. Ultra 2 has 26 mm so I put my Garmin Ultrafit nylon 26 mm strap and it is so comfy now. Otherwise I agree with points you are mentio

Fenix/Epix v Instinct

The Fenix 7x was my first Garmin I ever got. I got it in Feb 24. Then I got the instinct 3 tactical. I have had some disposable income since and got the Enduro 3 and Fenix 8 solar 50mm as well. I had given the original 7x I owned, the Fenix 8, and the Enduro 3, to some family members to try out for

Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro or Garmin Instinct 3 for a first smartwatch?

For the use cases of this user, yes. T-Rex 3 Pro without any doubt. BUT: I had the Instinct 3 Solar 50mm for several months and while I prefer the T-Rex 3 Pro (I have it and I don't have the Instinct 3 anymore), is not that clear. It depends of your use case. I.E: very long expeditions or if you are

Tips hardloophorloge

Het is al eerder genoemd, maar voor mij ook geen touchscreen meer. Werkt niet lekker in de regen en de batterijduur vond ik erg mager. Nu heb ik sinds twee jaar een garmin instinct 2x solar, met knoppen en een batterijduur van 35 dagen als ie volledig opgeladen is. Verkrijgbaar in twee maten ook nog

o que acham disso?

Opa! Claro! Começou com o pc. Eu estava buscando um pc gamer. Estava satisfeito com meu MacBook retina 2016 (ainda funciona hoje, por sinal- boa máquina! Super fino e eu dei sorte no teclado dele.) daí migrei pra um pc de mesa… tela de 31 polegadas, 2.5k, jogos… MacBook ficou de lado. Depois eu tava

Instinct 3 50mm Solar Tactical vs Instinct Crossover Amoled(Non-tactical)

I have had both the instinct 50 tactical and the crossover AMOLED. They are just totally different. The I3 is the nicest MIP I’ve ever owned on any brand. Better than Casio. Unless the room is completely dark, you can see the face without backlight. Monochrome and all that but throw back cool. And…t

Is instinct 3 useable for running?

A long time ago I had a Forerunner, then moved to Apple Watch, and just a few months ago moved to an Instinct 3 50mm Solar (From a Gen1 AWU). This guy is perfect for running, all the information I need on a run, insights in Garmin Connect later. Very surprisingly light based on its size, battery lif

Street X megathread

I have both Garmin and Polar watches. Instinct 2x and 3 provide Garmin Pay so you can pay for your coffee after a run without having to carry a physical wallet. SPO2 enables better insight into sleep, sleep disturbances etc. While Instinct doesn't have breathing variations, SPO2 on its own plus Heal
