Same as garmin instict 2

Alot of the exact features as the instict 2. Battery life doesn't last as long. But seems to be pretty accurate with stats.

I think a useful watch for outdoors people

I bought this specifically for the ability to pair with my Garmin InReach mini communicator. I am often in remote areas doing landscape photography ( especially in NC forests), and you never know when some unfortunate thing can happen. The InReach is always on my backpack - so being able to activate it from my wrist is a good thing. Yes I know the apple watched and othe...

Works great

I can’t complain works great what I like the most is that it has a small light on the watch that some times I use for work at night another thing is that it has a strobe light

TL;DR Buy it!

This is my fourth Garmin watch. I have an Instinct Tactical, Tactix Delta, and Tactix 7. the Instinct 3 is by far my favorite. Battery life and readability are OUTSTANDING. The Tactix series is totally cool, and I recommend them, but I've found the Instinct 3 Tactical to be way more functional. Not having a touchscreen means you don't have to worry about unwanted mode/d...

My new favorite watch

I needed a watch for outdoors, one that could withstand several points of shock and this has worked out to be perfect and has solar charging to boot. I also find keeping it on all night to record my sleep. Its so light you dont know its on.

Awesome

I've been wearing Garmin for years now. Specifically the tactical solar line. The 3 is the best so far. Battery life is great. This watch is packed with a ton of features I may never use them all.

Beyond Awesome

Purchased the watch a little over a month ago and have only charged it twice although I really didn’t need to as I still had 14 days of charge remaining. Love all the features even though I have not used them all yet. I probably will never use the watch to it’s full potential but it’s great to know what it is capable of doing. Having solar charging available as a backup...

C'mon Garmin...

This watch replaced a watch and a fitness watch that I was wearing. It has nice features and all, but...

...for a watch that is marketed as a "Tactical" watch, it sure could use a better watch crystal to protect the face. I have had the watch less than a month and the face already has a scratch from everyday wear around the house and running errands. I wore a G Shock...

Perfect for active lifestyle!

I bought the Instinct 3 tactical Solar 3-4 weeks ago. So far it has been perfect for my needs. No buyers remorse here.

Fantastic all around watch

I spent a great amount of time researching after having a Vivo Active3. Was nervous I was going backwards in displays.

Turns out to be one of the best choices I ever made. Has all the options I need with quick and easy access without having to be attached to charger every day or two.

Looks old school but provides relevant tech for now.

Great Fit, look and functionality

I received this watch as a gift for my birthday and I was not disappointed by it. In fact I love it. Its got tons of features and functions. It does everything I wanted it for.

The only grip I have is a chip on the Glass/crystal, I noticed it about 5 days after getting it. I'm not sure what it is i did to scratch or chip the glass. I didn't do any very active activi...

Zero Complaints!

I bought the watch a month ago and it's amazing! The watch is lasting 7-8 days before needing to be charged. Crisp & clear screen and the flashlight is being used regularly. Zero complaints whatsoever!

Awesome watch

This was my evolution from a Gshock into a "smartwatch" and so far I love it. It wears much smaller than it looks and it has so many features and available downloads I think it's going to be a while before I need to upgrade. My job keeps me out of the sun quite a bit but even the sun I do get seems to be keeping the battery maintained for daily use. I used it to track m...

3rd instinct watch for me and love them all

I bought the instinct 3 solar tactical for work to replace my 2X tactical and the rigidity of it survives my work as a field mechanic and the solar option works fantastic as I never have to charge it, and when it’s dirty I just wash it with a soapy rag and it’s good as new

I love this watch!

I've just got into trail running and I've been hiking for over a decade. I was using a very cheap Garmin Vivoactive watch that isn't even produced anymore. It was a good watch but it wasn't very accurate. The GPS would get lost during my runs and hikes thick in the forest.
I researched other Garmin watches and found the Instinct 3 solar to give me everything I wanted. ...
