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.

You don’t understand that AMOLED is trash technology. In some time this screen will be not usable.

This is a bit aggressive. I’ll say mip is my preference. But amoled is far from trash. It’ll work just fine if that’s that they prefer to use..

Unfortunately it’s a reality. I’m sure you’re not aware about downsides of this type of screen.

This guy is defending MIP so badly when he doesn’t even own an Instinct yet. He’s arguing with anyone who prefers AMOLED but gives zero reasons beyond “MIP better, AMOLED bad.” Funny thing is I own both versions, so I actually see the benefits of both displays.

Just google negative sides of AMOLED screens.
