  • @MKnife
    @MKnife 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    This is a very informative video (and Garmin should hire or pay you to make more videos 🙂). For those that wonder, almost everything in these instructions also apply to the Instinct 2X which I got recently, the biggest difference being use of the flashlight/torch that you mention at about the 20 minute mark. But that is so simple to use and configure anyway, so not really needed. And I'd never have thought it before I got the watch, but that flashlight is *the* feature I use almost every day.

    • @HowToPM

    • @HowToPM
      @HowToPM  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it was just an impression.
      There is no GPS device that work well inside.
      For a GPS device to be able to calculate your location, it need to be line of sight with the satellites.
      Clouds, leaves, bridge, building, house... They are all things that can reduce the quality of the signal.

      MIP screens only drain battery when there is a change to be made on the screen.

    I called to have this watch returned with an hour of owning it. My review is as follows: Just received this watch today. Extremely disappointed. The watch face is a dimly lit LCD screen that reminds me of Texas Instruments watch you would buy at Radio Shack 50 years ago. Absolutely amazed the backlit adjustment did very little, and there is no option to download a different watch face. I already called, complained, and will be returning it immediately. Only plus was how quickly Garmin was willing to issue a refund.
