Garmin Instinct 2 vs. Fenix 3

[@ayrtongenova1713]

I've just picked up a fenix 3 HR as to me the instinct looks like a cheap £10 plastic watch. My fenix 3 hr has the silver bezel and I also have the dark grey metal strap too. Im just awaiting the link removal kit then ill switch out the silicone strapI'm using at the moment. For me the weight of the metal strap is a non-issue. All my watches since the mid 80's have had metal straps and i actually find them far more comfortable. Plus that dark grey strap for the fenix 3 looks well stylish 👍

@@ayrtongenova1713 no doubt! fenix series are garmins flagship. i still have mine- i cant ignore the accuracy of the instinct 2 gps(galileo and the newer generation of optical hr, ultimately the price/value- its very good on this modern day

@@BenjieMoreno how much is the difference in accuracy

[@BenjieMoreno]

@@ayrtongenova1713 imho galileo is amazing vs glonass.. stronger and more recent hardware/software, and also the the optical HR sensor is the most recent generation of garmin atleat between 15-20% more accurate than its predecessor. tbh insticnt 2 features are like taken from fenix/epix and other flagship combine into the instinct 2. i use it on cycling with my garmin edge 810- just for HR level/monitoring (when i get lazy to strap the hr chest strap)

@@BenjieMoreno When I need to see color graphical stats, I use the Polar Flow app with my Garmin Instinct watch by sending real time broadcast heart rate to the Polar app while do an activity. This method saves battery on the watch. It's so fun to use this trick and discover more features that the Instinct has.
