So, I have a Fitbit Versa, and I've owned two, one being a warranty replacement. Both have had the screen pop off the body (both fixed with super glue). Now, I'm tempted to get a Garmin but the recent attack makes me hesitant. Any thoughts?

I ended up pulling the trigger on an instinct solar. Now my two trackers (watch and bike computer) are all consolidated into one system. Pros: - huge battery life. - always on display - solar charging Cons: - button layout is a bit eh - huge battery means long charge times on the charger Neutral: - no touch screen, only push buttons - toggle for back light, doesn't auto adjust Things that exist but don't bother me: - it's monochrome e: added another con. iospace fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Aug 5, 2020 |

CLAM DOWN posted:I think I'm going to get one of these too. I'm completely fine with no touchscreen and toggle backlight. I read that the Instinct screen is super readable in bright outdoors light? I'm tired of "smartwatches" and this is much more my speed. It's super readable outdoors, and the HRM is great. It looks like a 1hz refresh rate, but I could be wrong. SlowBloke posted:Can you confirm that the instinct solar has a plastic back? I had to throw my brand new vivoactive3 due to the mother of all rashes with the device "steel" back. Plastic, but it looks like the HRM part is glass or another clear material. Also not a fan of the stock band but eh.

CLAM DOWN posted:Just curious, do you use a screen protector on your Instinct? Actually, would that mess with the solar part? No I don't, and they don't recommend one apparently

It seems fine? Compared to Fitbit: - It's not as prone to saying you were awake for an hour+ every night, so it feels more accurate there. - actually shows you the pulse ox numbers as opposed to the derivative graph.
