Pain in the kneck for money spent
Watch won’t sync with phone and you have to read a 134 online manual to know how to use it

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.

Great watch. Love the rugged look and features.
I got this watch for Christmas and what an upgrade from my Vivoactive 4. I haven’t charged the battery since Christmas Day and it is 1/8 now and still has 25% left. It has all the features I need and more and it was a breeze to add to Garmin Connect. This was a great choice for me.

Very good improvement over Instinct 2
Purchased about a month ago and I'm very pleased with the additional features. Using it to keep track of my health stats and exercise routines. Love the AMOLED display and the flashlight that I'm using frequently. Battery life is excellent although the Instinct 2 lasted longer. Overall very pleased with my purchase. By the way gave up using Apple Watch 10.

Great features!
Been wanting the Instinct 3 for awhile and finally got it for myself for Christmas. I love this watch. The amoled screens, the larger print, the wrist gestures feature...
This is about my 3rd or 4th Garmin smartwatch. I highly recommend it!

The watch is great
The manual does not tell you enough on how to set up the watch
That’s a issue With the manual

Garmin Rules the Time Of Day!!
The Instinct 3 Amoled 45 mm is a great piece of art to wear on my wrist... Once Garmin fixes the picture transfer problem, it will be a complete dream come true.

Awesome watch!
I love my Instinct 3. I wanted a wearable that could track strength training well, and this watch does just that and more. I find that it makes training and pushing yourself even more fun by seeing progress recorded. It also give me deep insight into body that I had never had before. Highly recommend.

Instinct 3 Nice
Nice watch easy to use. One thing I wish the band was a little bigger. One band came with it, but it works.

It’s a nice watch
As an apple watch owner, I have been disappointed that this watch is not nearly as user friendly.
I do like it though & am learning. Great battery life & flashlight.

Best watch for mountain biking
This watch is better in every way than the Instinct or Instinct 2.
Once it's set up, which does take some effort, with one press on the controls, I can easily connect it to feed my pulse to my Edge 830 for biking, track my indoor biking when the weather is inclement and monitor my weight work. I was confused a bit about the weight settings as I use a rapid sequence ...

Great watch
Still learning all its features, but once you get familiar with it the navigation of apps is intuitive. Great for counting reps and sets of my workouts.

Ultralight, but TOUGH and loaded w features
Everything I hoped for, and more. Ultralight, yet tough. AOLED display is so sharp. Last but certainly not least… battery life averaging 18 days for me - and I am quite active with multiple exercise sessions per day.

Great So Far!
I’ve had my Instinct 3 about 3 weeks now and so far it has functioned flawlessly. Many more features than my Vivoactive 4. Certainly fits my lifestyle and training needs well.

Just the upgrades I needed and not more
I needed to update my old forerunner 935 since the GPS elevation gain tracking has been terrible for over a year, not matter what I did per YouTube and Garmin advice. All I really wanted was better GPS options and a good battery, and the instinct 3 was the answer. I didn't need more wiz & pang technology that I would use.. and I could get a color other than BLACK!!! (...
