Descent Mk3i display type

Hi people !

Will be there a Garmin Descent MK3i with the transreflective display ? I think the MIPS display was realy a profesionnal feature on that smartwatch and an advantage.

The Amoled displays are so kiddy, childy, with all that animations and colours are more for children (I think) . PS - Will I be able play wolfenstein 3D on the smartwatch : ) or other games, solitaire ? : )

Has the amoled burn-in problem ?

Has it a feature with always on display without backlit, like on MIPS display ?

Thank you

Well, it depends a lot on how much you use activities that use GPS. I use activities with GPS at leat 2-3 hours a day and the battery normally lasts about a week …

I was wondering how the AMOLED display looks like in bright sunlight. The MIPS displays are known for their very good visibility in bright sunlight.
Is someone able to compare them on that aspect?

I found the AMOLED display is just as readable in direct sunlight as the MIPs.

I am a long time Fenix user then switched to the FR965 (first AMOLED and it was much cheaper), now the Mk3i.

I still like MIPs because they are always on, but when the light is in your foreground and sunglasses on, such as when driving, I find the MIPs display hard to see.

AMOLED screens I have found are readable under any condition.

I actually have it set to the lowest brightness to conserve battery, and then it auto adjusts to be brighter on its own depending on the conditions, works pretty well, including while diving.
