Instinct 3 AMOLD Tactical

No problem with the watch itself but the user manual is very confusing and required several calls to resolve the issues I had.

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.

I love it

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!

Still waiting to be impressed

Still early, the device misses peloton workouts randomly, and my heart rate monitoring is way off. The good parts are the step counter, sleep, and stopwatch/timer capability. Curious if the thing adapts to my fitness level?

Must Have

Tools some getting used to compared to the original Instinct, but this thing is incredible. Love the detail and options. Like going from dial up internet to fiber. Massive difference in the best way.

Instinct 3 AMOLED

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.

Great

I'm about a week and half into it but has the first Instinct for years. This is a huge upgrade! The Amoled screen is great, so many features. If it keeps performing like the old one you won't go wrong.

Slow down

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.

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.
