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.

Love My Garmin Instinct 3

I recently purchased the Garmin Instinct 3 (no solar). I am using this to track my health and training progress. I use the Garmin Connect app to assess my progress. I really like this smartwatch and would recommend it to anyone interested in improving their fitness and health. There are a lot of settings that I've yet to explore but that will come with time.

Better Than Fenix 6

I have to say, I like it better than the Fenix 6 I have.

Would Buy Again!

Bought this a few weeks ago, great for fitness tracking and teams up with Strava great, the only complaints I have, at times when im working we carry some of our tools with us in two hands so it won't pick up my steps unless im swinging my arms like a normal walk which for the day drastically reduces my step count on the watch,,,, and the tracking of food is very easy BUT it would be nice to have a tab on the garmin ap that shows calorie intake comparing to burnt calories to make it easy to see surplus or deficit, other than those couple things I would highly recommend and buy again! Great watch very rugged and easy to use!

Amazing Watch And Tracker

I love this watch. I originally had the 45mm and switched to a Pixel Watch 4; bad choice. Garmin's tracking and integration is so much better and cleaner. Switched back to the 50mm (Worth the size bump for the battery bump alone).

A Lot Of Features. Too Many For My Needs

Bought a few weeks ago. Still in learning. Looked up videos to access some of the functions. Most confusing are the symbols used. Would be nice to have a chart provided with the watch listing the meanings of all the icons. Still trying to figure out how to get blood pressure reading. Is another device required? Best part is i don't have to remove the watch to charge it all the time. The quick start guide may as well have been in Greek. Couldn't figure out what was being referenced. Would be good to have a specific video site to provide specific instructions for each function along with initial setup. The videos were very helpful.

I bought this watch about a month ago and I am obsessed with it!

Great Design

Recently upgraded from the instinct 2 to the instinct 3. Loving the AMOLED. Still as great as my old watch and enjoying the vivid display.
