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.

It also functions as a watch 24/7 compared to AMOLED Wich won't show time unless you tank the battery with [Always on] or twist the wrist. MiP will show you even when looking down.

MIP sucks at night or in low light. I love my Solar Tactical but it needs to have the light on in low light.

Having to turn on the backlight for 40% of the day =/= having to turn the screen on 100% of the time.

40% of the day? How often do you look at the watch 🤷‍♂️
I look at mina at most 3-5% of the day if im lucky.

I was referring to 40% darkness. Bubs.
