Purchase advice

I'd say get a used Instinct 2x Solar or Tactical.Very cheap right now. I Love the Garmin and started on a Instinct 2x solar (used) 7m ago and just got the Instinct 3x 50mm Solar(not much difference ).

Venu 4 vs Trex pro 3

Not a good competitors, each has totally different purpose. I would not go with Venu, since it is more like a women/city watch. Trex is rugged g-shock like outdoor model. I have both Garmin Instinct 3 Solar 50mm and T-Rex Ultra 2. In general, T-Rex is like a heavy tank, with lovely display, smooth O

H10 Strap too tight. 3rd Party one in UK?

Speaking of accuracy I had my Polar H10 and Garmin instinct 2x solar running this evening and they both gave the same readings, but of course that's not during gym activity. I will take a gander at the Coros. Cheers!

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
