Instinct 3 Solar vs Instinct Crossover AMOLED
Hey everyone,
I am debating between the Instinct 3 Solar or the Instinct Crossover AMOLED.
I really like the physical hands of the Crossover, however I am worried about the AMOLED display and it's battery life compared to the MIP Solar models. (That and the reports of the AMOLED flash banging you in your sleep if you move your arm the wrong way). The sapphire glass is also appealing.
The Instinct 3 Solar appeals to me as it's something I can put on and not think about for extended periods of time. It's actually the MIP that appeals to me more than the solar, as due to my work environment it is more likely to be in complete darkness rather than sunlight, so I don't think I would get too much use out of the solar charging.
It would probably be a bit easier if there was a MIP version of the new crossover, but oh well.
