Garbage

I bought the watch. It connected with no problems. Two weeks ago it disconnected and I haven’t been able to connect it again. I spoke with somebody last week and was disconnected

Amazing Watch. Exactly What I Was Looking For.

Amazing Watch. Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks

Love The Instinct #3,

Love it! Trying to learn all it can do, which is a lot. I went from a iWatch to this. iWatch had to charge each day, hated that. Not I get 24 days on the Garmin. My daughter has had Garmin watches for years. She kept trying to get me to move to Garmin, she was right, best watch I have had

Must Have

Tools some getting used to compared to the original Instinct, but this thing is incredible. Love the detail and options. Like going from dial up internet to fiber. Massive difference in the best way.

Garmin Watch

Great watch feels amazing, never in the way during runs or workouts. Tons of features.

Great Watch

Upgraded from a Fenix and this is great for me. The battery life lasts a full 2 weeks which is great.

Instinct

Recently purchase the Instinct. However, I found that it was just a little too complex for this old man. Great features, but the display was a little cluttered. Love my Garmin products, I have several, and i'll have newer ones as prices become more competitive. Great support from Garmin at all times, a big plus.

Great For The Outdoors

I bought watch a little less than a month ago to replace my Garmin Venu Sq. That one was starting to become unreliable, and the battery wasn't lasting as long as it was before. The Instinct is so much better! The battery really does hold up for 18 days if you set it up to conserve when the display is on. I feel like this watch gives me much better monitoring capability. Navigation is easy with the buttons and the default settings are fine for me. The main watch display has a really nice summary of all the major stats and information that I'm interested: Time, day, month, day, temperature, high and low temperature, sunrise, sunset, steps, elevation, heart rate, and days left on the charge. I also like the morning stats that come up every morning. The torch flashlight is really bright for as small as it is. Overall it's a really great watch.

Over The Moon Happy!

Was over the moon Ecstatic when my fitbit Versa finally crapped out so I could justify a major upgrade. I'm an outdoor enthusiast into hiking, backpacking, camping, kayaking and just about anything in outdoor activities. I absolutely love my new Garmin Instinct 3. Initially was not the Garmin I was going to go with but after seeing this side by side with my planned purchase the Instinct 3 was Hands down the better option for me. Bit of a learning curve getting accustomed to all the bells and whistles that this watch packs. The battery life for me as a backpacker was a huge selling point (7days of always on)... Can't beat that for the backcountry. One less thing I have to worry about charging. Love my Garmin Instinct 3 and will now be a lifelong Garmin Watch Wearer!

Best Smartwatch On The Market!

Fantastic build quality as always. Looks sharp and performs, I think, better than any other smartwatch in the market. I’ve owned three instincts before this and they’ve always been great watches. The AMOLED screen elevates what’s already a fantastic watch.

Multiple Uses

I discover new things about it daily… new uses as I work my way through the various screens….use it for sleep tracking and my daily calendar …and the clock face is ideal for me.

Instinct 3 50mm Amoled

Only time will tell...Going from a 2018 Forerunner 945 (~8yrs old) that's been my daily driver, and still perfectly functional. Feels durable / good quality, screen is bright, sensors appear accurate. I understand that the display being 50mm AMOLED, would technically use battery life more than not, but for being new I would expect more out of a full charge, especially as the screen times out. All said, I do really like it.

Easy To Operate.

Great watch. Still figuring it out. Garmin so far rules all others, hands down. Just ordered the Fenix 8 pro, gonna need some time to adjust lol. Wished I would have started my watch collection with Garmin.

Apple To Germin

I gave up my Apple for this watch just for a change. The Apple Watch is great but is a iPhone in your wrist. I wanted something different. I have an iPhone already. So far I’m pleased only thing missing is the touch screen.

Amazing

Love everything about it. From the flashlight, to its ability to know what part of my body im working out.
