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.

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

Ease Of Use

Bought 3 weeks ago. Charged it after 20 days. Still read 6 days left. Love it.

Fantastic Smaetwatch

After a month using my Garmin, I am absolutely happy with it. Does everything I need and then some. Very easy to use, great size, looks and battery lasts forever! I am so glad I got rid of my previous smartwatch (I something).

Versatile.

Sleek, durable, long battery life, chock full of features! Excellent watch.
