Gaijin - where did you order from? I've been hankering for a solar Fenix for a couple of years now - still trying to source the specs though before pulling the trigger

No solar on the Instinct Tactical, you need the fenix 6 for that ;-)

But if you still want the Instinct Tactical, try where I ordered it here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VQJGLJV?pf_rd_p=183f5289-9dc0-416f-942e-e8f213ef368b&pf_rd_r=V996YKW1BP8GJJAWS7RR&th=1

Forum software still wants to dupe posts :-s

I dont see anything physically different with the instinct tactical over the original. Is it just software differences? If so there is very little reason to upgrade. You'd be crazy to really use this for parachuting, as such gimmicky in my opinion.

Other than color and a few software tweaks for Tactical features, I don’t see anything myself. While I prefer the all black Instinct, the 5+ meets my needs cosmetically and the Mk1 for my diving needs.

Could someone post what software tweaks did they do with the Tactical Instinct? If I'm not mistaken I saw something related to parachute and night vision. Good for me if it drive's down the price of the original Instinct a little more.

Stealth Mode (shuts down all signals coming from the watch)

Backlight that works with NVG

We'll get the official announcement soon, that's when we can confirm everything.

Oh man the price tag on the original looks even more tempting now. I'm looking at Instinct to be my first smart watch.

....so the 6s will only be avaliable in that rose gold colour?

No, they will be a feminine version and male version like on the previous version.

The all black sapphire Fenix 5S Plus was (is) a great watch.

The new thing now is the "normal version" with no maps and the "pro" with cartography and then the "sapphire" with cartography too.

Also it seems like they will be 3 sizes of screen: 1,2" 1,3" and 1,4"... And different resolution 280x280 for the X version.

Let see also if they will be released as soon as 29th of August ...

I wonder if Rainmaker has passed all his summer with those new toys to test. ;-)

Another article with specs as given by ActiveJR.

The three resolutions 6S 240x240 the 6 260x260 and the 6X 280x280
need to be confirmed... I wonder if those new resolutions will change things for the applications on the market... Will the 6X have a black ring when using a 240x240 application on its 280x280 screen ?

With my Galaxy watch 46mm, I'm now used to 1.3" (33 mm) Super AMOLED (360 x 360) and it is an eye candy. ;-)

Here the article anyway:
