Nice Rugged wide velcro strap made by Hemsut and found on Ali.
Notice again the 22mm Tactix like Jaws and a wide metallic buckle.

Autumn weather is running weather and the Instinct continues to serve me well.

I assume you have a cheststrap sensor for HR. What one?

Yes, uses an ANT+, Bluetooth and 5.3kHz chest strap so can be used with many devices.

I have a question for all the Garmin Instinct users. Would it be a worthy upgrade to go from the standard, non solar Instinct to the gen 1 solar Instinct? I like solar although it is not a huge inconvenience to charge the standard Instinct. I’m not a heavy user of the features but again wonder if it would be a worthwhile upgrade. Or should I jump to the solar 2? Everyone’s input is appreciated.

I own an Instinct 1, Instinct 1 Tactical, Instinct 1 Solar, and Instinct 2 Solar Tactical.

Based on my experience, the upgrade to the Instinct 2 is worth it. I went with the Solar Tactical just to see how much the solar affected battery life, but it really is not a significant difference in my use case.

Here is a comparison of the Instinct 2 non-solar and the solar version: Product comparison on Garmin site

Since the non-solar is currently US$100 less than the solar version, if cost is a consideration I would recommend the non-solar version. However, if you can afford the price difference, and ever want to use Garmin Pay, then the Instinct 2 Solar is the one to get - Garmin Pay is not available on the non-solar Instinct 2 according to the Garmin site.

Thanks for the reply. I failed to include in my orginal post that I have the non solar, GI gen 1. The information, though is still appreciated.

Gave the 'workhorse' F5X a bit of a facelift this morning with colorized bezel ring and new matching blue Hemsut strap...

And if I want something a bit more original...I can pop on the tuxedo black Tactix Charlie...

Cheers,

Very good sale at kohls.com for the 1st edition Instinct Solar. I snatched up a Moss tactical one for $229 plus free shipping and an extra $15 off with kohls cash.

Anyone can post a picture of a Garmin Instinct 1 on a metal QuickFit band?
