No instinct 3 incoming?

Nothing seems to indicate an Instinct 3 which is disappointing. Did the original Instinct get released with a Fenix? And the Instinct 2? What’s the usual update cycle of the Instinct? While it’s still a very good watch it badly needs a refresh, that crappy Sony GPS chip isn’t cutting the mustard in todays dual band market.

I think it’s due out tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then it’ll be the day after.

My gut tells me it will be introduced the day before the next GCM App update. For sure.

I'd be shocked if they did. That would be so many new watches (3+) at once. On the other hand, the Instinct 2 (non-X ver) came out exactly two and a half years ago. So I could see it being possible. I'd be super, super surprised if there was a like a Instinct 3X released as the I2X came out as that one isn't as old at 14 months since release. But yeah, these are much older than the Fenix 7/Epix 2 family. And honestly, I'd be more insterested to see what happens with the Instinct 3 family. I have the Epix 2 (non-Pro) and the next gen sounds like it's just minor, incremental improvements. I also have the I2X, so I don't think I'd buy something new. Dare to dream! But oh man, if they DID come out with 4+ new watches, I (almost) feel bad for the reviewers.
