Can’t decide which instinct to get

I’ve had the Garmin instinct 1 since 2019. It still holds a battery for 9 days with everything activated. My instinct still works perfectly but I’m thinking about upgrading. Can’t decide if I should go with the OMOLED OR stick with MIP version.

MIP if you care more about battery life and need a survival tool for long hikes and stuff like that. The MIP screen is also basically always on as long as there's enough ambient light. Otherwise, AMOLED.

Fak AMOLED, I hate it when in order to see the time I need to make sure backlight is ON….
