I think the only thing that makes this worthwhile over my instinct is obviously the NFC for Garmin pay, but I didn't have a Garmin for about 6 months and got used to just popping out my phone...if I had it, I would use it, but they'll be hard pressed to get people to re-up for this!

Looks like I'm holding on to my instinct for a few more years. Still works as if it was new and I've had it for about a year and a half.

Neither previous version of the Instinct could do VO2 max.

I have the current Instinct paid 169$
Had it since Nov 30 2021 worn it just about everyday.
For what I use it for the battery lasts 21 days.
Even at 169$ it felt expensive. The new price for the new model with so much out there with color screens. hahahahah no.

Way too much $
Also couldn't the previous Instinct do vo2 max then as the fenix did with the same HR sensor? Software limited it seems.

A new leak has revealed details about yet more Garmin smartwatches. Reputedly, the Instinct 2 and the Instinct 2S will be more expensive than their predecessors, but they will receive a superior SpO2 sensor, plus an NFC chip and the ability to calculate VO₂ max levels.
