Awesome!

Had the original instinct for 3.5 years . The thing is a tank and still working great after continued abuse . It needed a new band so I was scrolling on Amazon and saw the instinct 3 had just been released .Hesitantly purchased , but wow ! This watch is great. It still seems to be just as rugged as the original but with many more features .The screen is very bright and also customizable through the connect IQ app. Very cool. The strobe light has already came in handy many times at night .Battery life is at 40% and I’ve had it on for 2 weeks .GPS function works great for runs , and the amount of extra data this one provides is insane .All around great product and happy with this purchase !

Great Smart Watch

bought this watch for my husband for Father’s Day & he LOVES it. It’s easy to use, pretty lightweight and has great smart watch features. He loves the tactical look of this watch and wears it daily.

I couldn’t be happier

The media could not be loaded. I know there’s been a lot of debate around the Instinct 3 — from the lack of maps to the price, and how it stacks up against other models with more advanced features. But personally, I’ve always been a fan of the Instinct 2X Solar — mostly for the rugged looks and the flashlight. I didn’t really mind the monochromatic display, but I always wished for a color one. So the Instinct 3’s color screen was a big win for me.Even without solar charging, the battery life is impressive. Garmin claims 18 days in smartwatch mode, and I’ve been getting around 10–12 days with regular workouts and activities — still very solid.Comfort-wise, I actually found it more wearable than the 2X. It feels lighter, and the 45mm size looks just right on my wrist. I work in construction, so knocking the watch against things is pretty common. I’ve read the screen is tough (and it is), but I still put on a screen protector just in case. That said, it’s taken a few hits and still looks great.The watch faces are fun to mess with, and all the functions are genuinely useful. I use the flashlight almost every night, and the weather + barometer have come in handy on the job.Now, this isn’t the right smartwatch for everyone. I’d definitely recommend doing some research first. For example, I don’t miss the touchscreen at all — in fact, I’ve grown to love the button navigation. I barely need to look at the watch anymore; my muscle memory takes me right where I need to go. The customizable hotkey combos are also a nice touch.One last tip: be sure to get the right size. The 45mm fits me perfectly, but I totally get why someone might prefer the bigger screen on the larger models.

Love this watch

Excellent watch. Much more durable than my previous watch with nice features. Great fit for my wrist. Enjoy the functions like heart monitoring, step tracking, customize workouts, and ect. Best bang for my buck and only issue I have is that I don’t purchase this watch sooner.

If you are an Instinct guy this one is for you.

I had the Garmin Instinct version one for probably 4 or 5 years. Had the opportunity to try an Apple Watch and decided it wasn't for me. Decided to upgrade to this watch and I really like it. It's simple but has a lot of features. I enjoy the color screen, flashlight, and watch face adjustments. Battery lasts almost a week, which is a big plus compared to other smart watches. If you are a normal working dude who wants a high functioning tough watch this one is for you. I have probably a dozen friends who have switched to the instinct over the years.

Fantastic Watch – Durable, Bright AMOLED, and Great Battery Life!

The Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED is an outstanding watch! It’s incredibly durable, built to handle anything I throw at it. The AMOLED display is bright and crisp, making it easy to read in any lighting. I also love the built-in flashlight—it’s a super handy feature I didn’t know I needed. For an AMOLED watch, the battery life is impressive, lasting much longer than I expected. Whether for outdoor adventures or everyday use, this watch is a winner. Highly recommend!

Needs more work done

I really like the GARMIN instinct, IMO the instinct is the perfect watch and I like how they have improved each next gen, but I'm not so sure about the AMOLED approach. Whiles it looks nice, it reduces the battery life significantly (you still have planty of battery life) but waking up the screen when tilting the wrist didn't always work for me and it was ultimately the reason why I returned it.The MIP screen is way better imo and with solar capabilities, it makes the battery life last almost indefinitely, making the instinct 3 Solar, a perfect watch.
