Instinctually better!

This watch is an upgrade from my original Instinct and has some new features including a torch light. That could come in handy during a hike or bike at dusk or in the early morning. Everything else is pretty much the same, but it does record and upload faster to the app.

great watch

This watch looks good, has lots of screen layout options. It's super easy to record GPS workouts on it and see your fitness status. I don't know how to do everything that I want to do on it yet, though, like have quicker access to alarms and timers. They're currently buried in menus

Great watch

This replaced the version 1 instinct. A lot of nice features way easier to read. The only thing I do not like is it goes dark and then when you look at it is supposed to light back up. It does not always light up when you rotate your wrist to look at the display. It can be irritating at times.

Garmin Instinct 3

Exactly what I was looking for. I have the previous version, but this one is way better. It shows me all the things I wanted to see on one screen. I stopped using my Apple Watch and replaced it with this watch.

Long time between charges

Originally received one with issues. After a couple of months of trying to make it work I was able to return it for a free replacement. The replacement works flawlessly and the weather data at a glance has been extremely useful for fishing. Battery lasts ridiculously long. Ease of customization is great. Can’t believe how much info is available at just a glance.

Very good

I have had my watch for about a month. The display is crystal clear. The flashlight is better than expected. I enjoy how light weight the unit is, it is the lightest watch I have had in years. I like not having a touchscreen for activations when I’m trying to sleep. It does all of the garmin things and has a personal trainer for weights. The battery life is very good.

So many features and stats!

I have had this watch for about 3 weeks now and can't stop checking my stats! It tracks so many stats for you to check out. Steps, heart rate, body battery, sleep, calories, stress, weather, HRV status, brpm, and many more! This is exactly the kind of watch I wanted. I purchased it right before a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park and wanted it to track my hikes and a couple of other stats and it has blown me away with all the features. I used to have an apple watch and this Garmin watch does all the apple watch does and so much more! Never going back to apple!
