Disgusted with watch

Posted Dec 26, 2025

I spent hours trying to make it work unsuccessfull

Got this for Christmas, and spent hours trying to get this working and have given up.
I do not golf, run marathons and all the other things this watch does. I just wanted something to track my bike riding and other activities but not able to make this watch do it.
I am returning it.

Absolutely Wonderful

I bought this for myself for Christmas and I absolutely love it. So highly configurable and with so many options to choose from. I've had a lot of smartwatches and THIS is my all time favorite. It gives me the information I want and need. Wonderful!

Great watch

its an amazing watch with great battery life. the one thing i would like to see added is the option to clear all notifications with one click just like i am able to do on my tactix 8. must be a software thing, and i am sure it is an easy fix.

Good

Great watch I’m sure there’s a ton of features I know nothing about. I only have one issue but the garmin team is on top of the issue. It’s the gesture feature it works when it wants to but other then that I love it.

You won’t be disappointed!

I replaced my Garmin instinct 2 solar tactical with this instinct 3 AMOLED, and couldn’t be more impressed. The display is so crisp, I use the torch every day, and the battery life is incredible. I charged to full on Nov 13th, and still have 8 days battery today, Dec 9th! I wear it 24-7 except for my shower at night. I used to rotate my Apple Watch Ultra and my Garmin....

Outstanding! Best Instinct Ever!

This is my third Instinct Smartwatch and it is the ultimate evolution of this product. The Instinct Solar 1 and Instinct Solar 2 that I had both had great functionality but were difficult to read - this watch solves both issues with a 50mm face and a very bright AMOLED display. The “rise to wake” function is great - gives you a bright, colored readout when you look at i...

Great Look and Function

I love this watch so far. I've had it for about a month. I've used it for Golf Yardages, tracking my dog out hunting in connection with my Garmin Alpha, sleep data, gym data and apps. The battery life and the flashlight are also big pluses. I've had it for a month and I think after 15-20 days I charged it when it got down to 20%. It only takes about 15 minutes t...

Love this watch

I was so tiered or the over tech apple watch and picked up a Garmin Instinct 3 and love it. Has just what I need, is simple but advanced and last for 3 weeks. I strongly recommend Garmin

Wanted to like this, but returned it

I liked the design of this watch - size, and the AMOLED screen. HOWEVER, I ordered the black version. In that color, the button names are unreadable - both due to the color and that the font size was so small, and impression so shallow that they were difficult to read even in the best of light. At the same time, while the time was in large enough letters with good contr...

Upgrade from the Instinct 2X Solar

I am semi-happy with the Amoled version of this series. The face colors are brilliant, and somewhat customizable. I also enjoy the red light shift option. The glass is clear, showing no distortion and easy to maintain.
The persistent problems of accurate sleep tracking are still present. I have to secure my watch SUPER tight (loosen for the day, cinch down at sleep.) t...

Fantastic watch

Have a Garmin vivosmart watch. This is a major upgrade, well worth the extra $$. More accurate in all features. Great battery life 14 days with no issues.

still figuring it out

At this point I've had this just over a month and I'm pretty happy with it. Upgraded from a fitbit and this is so much more powerful, too much so, in some respects. I'm still learning about all the metrics it provides and which ones are really relevant to me. It is aggravating that it won't connect with our current smart devices, such as blood pressure devices and we...

Great Eatch

Bought this to dip my toe back in the Garmin world. Got tired of having to always charge my Apple Watch everyday and sometimes twice a day. Man I am so impressed with this watch that now I wish I had gone big and bought the Fénix 8. But I am really really happy with the Instinct 3 once I learned how all the features worked. I do miss being able to do things on the scree...

Great features and battery life

Bought this watch around a month ago. Waited to review it because I wanted to get to know it first. Love how I can create and send workouts to the watch, navigation is easy and user-friendly, the small LED light is mega handy and it doesn't feel heavy when hiking in long trips. No touchscreen is actually a benefit once you get used to navigating with the buttons.

Wow! What a watch!

I purchased the watch for the dog tracking capability with my Garmin Alpha series GPS dog collar. I also found out the watch had a waterski app. The waterski app helps me ski more efficiently. The watch is full of functions I’m still learning how to use!

One Tough Watch!

I bought this watch approximately six months ago, and it's been amazing! Best watch I've ever owned! Has all of the features I need for my very active lifestyle. It's also tough. On numerous occasions, I've scratched it against something, and there's no noticeable scratch damage to my watch!
