Isn't that just the Instinct? I have a Fenix 7 and it certainly doesn't have an e-ink display.

I think the fenix, epix and venu might use normal lcd or oled. But all the forerunners I looked at when getting mine use memory in pixel.

They're MIP, the Fenix is too. They're not e-ink though and don't have the same drawbacks that e-ink displays do. MIP displays are still LCD.

Not trying to be pedantic, I think MIP is pretty dope actually.

I have a vivoactive music 3. It has color eink too, and looks pretty solid. The newer ones have better screens and animations I guess so I’m not sure if that line still uses that or not.
