Amoled screens are better than solar screens.

I bought the Instinct 3 Amoled 20 days ago. I am very happy with my purchase. I have had a first gen Instinct Tactical Solar. That watch was a fantastic unit, got 3 years out of it, was perfect for the very physical job I had doing fire protection inspections and service. I saw the 3 Amoled, and wanted one. I like the bigger size, and the screen is easy to see in all light. The torch is a nice added feature. I do not miss the solar side of things at all. Excellent watch.

Bought this a month ago and it is a game changer! Took me a bit to figure out the features and buttons after a iwatch for so long, but now it is intuitive and amazing!

The wristband is not the same as the original instinct I had for almost 15 years. The clasp is plastic instead of metal but so far it has been durable. Bought the Fern Green and i love it! Long battery life for how often i use it too.

I wish the iMessages worked well with the phone
Band options would be awesome for those who are not able to use silicone.
Other than that, I like the product.
