Worth the extra $100 over instinct 2 that I just bought at Costco for $150? So far, I love the instinct 2
I have the Instinct (1 not 2) and the Fenix 6x Sapphire. Depends on your use case. I think of the instinct as a really good Casio while the Fenix is what the Apple Watch Ultra should have been. Either will be a great option, but Fenix, especially X and Pro models have lots of nice to have features and feels more premium.
I have had my fenix 5x for 4 years now… to all the experts, is this worth the upgrade?
Probably not, these things are built to last. The newer ones may have more/better sensors so eventually you'll want to consider it if you're actively using the data/feedback these type of watches provide.
I bought Fenix 6 Pro on Woot. Generally I like it, but there are couple of things that make me want to return them to Woot:
1. The Fenix 6 heart rate shows HR 10 beats higher than the medical finger reader and the blood pressure reader.
2. Despite me entering the altitude manually, the watch still showing the altitude that 10 feet off at the same spot that I manually entered the altitude.
I'm not sure if it is a big deal.

It is a good watch. Worth the upgrade over the instinct. A lot more durable and premium. Not sure I like spending 250 for a non-pro refurb.

Dead ^ geartrade was limited stock, would not expect this price again. This Woot deal still is a good value.
