The design of the instinct is definitely not for me. Too much "wasted" space on the display. A monochrome Forerunner with a regular display and data fields and absurdly good battery life would be interesting though. Yes, I'm actually suggesting Garmin should make even more watches haha.
That’s a super interesting idea actually hahaha, maybe Garmin SHOULD make more watches ;) I must say.. the instinct isn’t quite for me. Not for a daily driver. But I can definitely see why this is so loved by the endurance/military community. It doesn’t everything you need and I bought it for $300 directly from Garmin with a discount. Not bad for an unlimited battery life watch 🙈
Yeah, that will be an issue.. tbh though the chipset in this watch is so slow it’s already at its limit with software really. Does everything you’d need it to do with its might 64mb of memory or whatever it has hahaha
Right now for testing I’m rotating between Suunto Ocean, Fenix 8, Race S & Vertix 2s. For general training I tend to pick the smaller watches: Fenix 8 43mm & Suunto Race S. For ultra running I usually wear Suunto Vertical (I love this watch and it would probably be my daily driver if I wasn’t testing) & Coros Vertix 2S. I don’t think the perfect watch exists yet though. There’s still room for innovation from all brands.
