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!

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!

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.

Clear sharp display, easy to read. I used the Garmin Connect app to choose a watch face with hour, minute, and second hands. I also went with the red, green and white display colors, making it even easier to read. The battery life is excellent, about two weeks, and the battery life indicator is accurate. My last watch would indicate nine days of battery life, but only go five. I use mine at work in the medical field. With some watches, when you wash your hands, it's hard to get the watch clean and dry without removing it from your wrist. Not a problem with this one. I also use it to record my hikes. The hikes are fun to look at on the Connect app. I'm glad I chose this model. After two weeks of ownership I can see no downside.

I have had this now for about a month and it is my first Garmin product. I really like it. I switched from a fitbit after the google health update and I could not be happier. It has tons of additional features and makes tracking my weight lifting very easy. Easy to track my calories and will end up paying for the premium service. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a serious activity tracker.

I wish I would have waited and I would've gotten the forerunner 570 or the fenix 8. I like it but I don't love it, I'm new to the cycling world and I bought the watch to fast instead of doing my research.

This is by far the best watch I have ever had. The amount of sports features are insane. My only complaint is sometimes it seems like my Pace is a little off but that's probably just me. Great watch overall! I love the flashlight!

I honestly prefer the Instinct Solar 2x over this instinct 3. I prefer battery life over screen display. I wouldn't have ever bought this version but unfortunately my tactical 2x was stolen.

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.

This is my 3rd Garmin watch, the first I was a bit overzealous and it was too big and too heavy for my wrist, so the husband got it and has been wearing it the last 10yrs. 2nd watch was a FENIX 6, loved it, nice weight, went well with everything, even dressed up. Love the INSTINCT, MUCH lighter, could have gone bigger than the 45mm, but so many more options. I cannot live without a watch both for work and personal. Would highly recommend and will always have a GARMIN. Husband got a new INSTINCT 3 as well as he hunts upland birds with his dog and he LOVES the dog tracking ability.
