Has anyone use screen protector on instinct ? do i need screen protector? any suggestion ? (I do wear it everyday, im worry someday the screen it will be have a lot scratch)
Yes, I think for better safe than sorry, we should use a screen protector. This is my first sport watch also first Garmin device. I use it for running exercise only. I was considering between Instinct and Vivoactive 3 then decided Instinct because it is rugged, shock resistance. I am working in office so I hope there will be no chance for watch face scratch and crack.
No. Never had any issues with any of the Garmin watches I've had going back to the FR305. And that's despite falling off mountain bikes, falling over on trails (and embarrassingly when road running), and running my watch into street furniture (don't ask!).
I had a screen protector on the FR935 as the screen was exposed. The Instinct has a high bezel and I am not using a protector, Jane not yet felt I need one despite being quite rough on the watch as an often daily wear, on the trails, while DIYing etc.
I had the same problem as well. After I put on the screen protector, I noticed there’s some dust stuck between the screen and the protector. So I was trying to take it off but failed so many times till I got a tiny little scratch on the case then I stopped trying immediately.
Thanks to your video suggestion that I finally took it off the watch. Now I’m still thinking whether I should put on the protector or not.
Unfortunately, glass on Garmin Instinct is not so rugged. I was shocked to see tiny damage on the screen due to some impact from pebble raised during a bike ride. So definitely screen protection should be used.
Yes definitely buy a screen protector, I didn’t and it has cost me $170au to buy an exchange instinct. Some how it cracked across screen. (Not covered by warranty)
