Awesome For Serious Adventure Athletes.

The watch is literally every that I wanted in a fitness tracker with some bells and whistles for the profession. The Ruck app should honestly be spread across more platforms and I appreciate the light that I use daily. This watch is my new favorite in the line up. Ultras are too easy with the tracker and display in the watch face.

Great Garmin

I’m replacing an Apple watch and have been very impressed with the functionality and long battery life.

Awesome

Best watch I’ve ever purchased. I love all the data it provides. It makes me want to be and live a healthier life.

Best Ever!!!

Wow!!! I had an Instinct 2 Solar and really like it. I switched to the Instinct 3-50mm Amoled. The best choice ever! What an awesome display. The screen is sharp and clear. Well done Garmin!!!

Idea For Future Design

Dear Garmin, I recently purchased my second Garmin watch, the Instinct 3 Solar. Overall, I’m very pleased with the device—it’s exactly what I was looking for, especially as I prefer a watch without a touchscreen. However, I do have one significant piece of feedback regarding the design. Since most people are right-handed, they typically wear their watch on the left wrist. For this reason, it would be more practical if the most frequently used buttons (Light/Up/Down) were positioned on the right side of the watch. This would make them easier to access and press, without having to reach across the watch with the other hand. I hope you will consider this as a suggestion for future designs. Kind regards, Igor

Great Watch

I am extremely pleased with this watch. It is very user friendly and works great. There are a lot of good features and wears comfortably.

Poorly Written Instructions

There is approximately 110 pages of poorly written instructions; buyer beware.

Fantastic Watch With Awesome Features

I bought this watch about 3 weeks ago I bought this watch about 3 weeks ago. and it meets all my and it meets All my and it meets all my expectations. all the health monitoring that I wanted all the health monitoring that I wanted. actually was out side today and was actually solar charging which is awesome I have not used the maps or the GPS or the compass yet but I know it has all those features and I'm anxious to use that I had the tactic 7 prior to this and I love that watch as well but this watch all I need it has all the bells and whistles I love the battery life it is absolutely phenomenal Garmin for making a great watch

Excellent Watch With A Lot Of Features.

Excellent watch with a lot of features. This is my second Garmin watch, the first one is the Finex 5 and now I have the Garmin Instinct Amoled.

Love My New Instinct 3 Amoled

I love my new Instinct 3 50 mm Amoled. Great watch. I'm still learning things it can do. I had the old Instinct 2 and it feels likek this watch that much has been simplified for menu and controls.

A Great Upgrade From My Old Instinct Solar 1.

I debated whether to upgrade to the Instinct 3 Solar from the Instinct Solar (1?). I'm glad I did as the display is much better and the battery is a lot better. I’ve only had it for 2 weeks but I'm so satisfied, especially with the better battery.

Accurate And Practical

Everything that was promised, had it for a month tracking workouts, can’t wait to get it on the ski slope next season.

Dexcom App Not Available On The Watch.

Would be 5 stars, but for some reason the ‘Dexcom’ CGM app it not permitted to work on this watch. Come on Garmin make it compatible.

Love It

Such a fan of Garmin watches! My second watch, so happy after ditching my Apple!

Easy To Read And Use

I received this watch a month ago and I love it. The AMOLED screen makes it easy to read without my reading glasses, the activity tracking is great and the battery life is great
