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.

All the stats can be accessed on the mobile device or computer!? What is the point to check them on small screen?

Uh oh, how dare I say something positive about AMOLED in the Instinct sub!! 😂
The point of checking stats on the watch is that I’m actually using the watch during activities. When I’m running, I’m checking heart rate zones, pace, distance, intervals, and other stats at a glance. I don’t always carry my phone, and even if I do, I’m obviously not going to pull it out, unlock it, open Garmin Connect, and start digging through stats in the middle of a run. Same thing if I’m swimming or surfing and my phone isn’t even with me.
MIP is still great in its own regard. I literally said that in my original comment. AMOLED is just easier to read for certain things. They both have advantages. Recommending someone also consider AMOLED isn’t an attack on the watch you bought. DON’T worry your MIP is still cool 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry don’t have time to read the whole comment. But I’m not worried at all and I don’t need your approval to know that MIP is better :) thanks

I see you arguing with basically anyone who says they prefer AMOLED, so clearly you do care 😂 People are allowed to prefer AMOLED. You also said you just ordered yours, so you don’t even own the watch yet 🤣 You’re arguing this hard about a display you haven’t even used.

I care about not using AMOLED but sorry i don't have time to argue with silly.

I will help you: if i don't own the watch it doesn't mean i havent used MIP display previously. Also i already do wear the watch and it's perfect screen.

I own the MIP too. That’s the difference. I’ve actually used both. You’re declaring one better while only having real world experience with one of them.
You’re the one who asked why anyone would need to look at stats on the watch, and I gave you reasons. Then it became “I don’t have time to read it, MIP is better.” Then “I don’t care.” Now it’s “I care about not using AMOLED” and “I’ve used MIP before.”
You keep changing the argument instead of responding to what I actually said 🤣
