Very Nice Smartwatch
I bought this watch a few weeks ago to replace my Instinct camo. The Instinct 3 has a great battery life and I really like the flashlight. Only downside so far is that a few of my activities have been saved on the watch but for some reason they don't sync to Garmin connect. Otherwise I would give 5 stars. Anyway it's a great watch and I hope to enjoy it for the next few years until I upgrade.

Very good
I have had my watch for about a month. The display is crystal clear. The flashlight is better than expected. I enjoy how light weight the unit is, it is the lightest watch I have had in years. I like not having a touchscreen for activations when I’m trying to sleep. It does all of the garmin things and has a personal trainer for weights. The battery life is very good.

Great hardware, but software is not perfect
Positive aspects: The watch feels rock-solid yet lightweight, and despite not having a touchscreen, it’s surprisingly easy to navigate after just a few hours of use. The overall design looks great — rugged but stylish. The battery life is incredibly impressive, especially after years of using an Apple Watch. I can go for days without worrying about charging, which is a huge advantage. Things that could be improved: • Watch face customization: On the main screen, the small calendar section always starts the week on Sunday. It may not sound major, but for those of us outside the U.S., it’s distracting not to be able to change the first day of the week. • iOS integration: As an iPhone user, I really wish there were iOS widgets to display some Garmin data (like steps or calories) on my lock screen or home screen. Also, quick replies to messages are available for Android users but not for iOS, which is disappointing. • Bluetooth range: I’ve noticed the Bluetooth connection is very weak compared to other smartwatches. The signal drops even when my phone is just in the next room — and I live in a small apartment. This really shouldn’t happen with this kind of device. • Sleep schedule system: This is my biggest frustration. The watch forces you to set a fixed sleep and wake schedule, and there’s currently no way to disable it. I often sleep and wake up at different times, so having to define a specific time each day doesn’t work for me. If the schedule ends before I actually wake up, it sends the morning report and stops tracking sleep — meaning I lose sleep data and also disabling the do not disturb mode. It would be so much better if Garmin allowed users to turn this feature off and let some people to put their watches to sleep mode when desired, not only scheduled.

Long time between charges
Originally received one with issues. After a couple of months of trying to make it work I was able to return it for a free replacement. The replacement works flawlessly and the weather data at a glance has been extremely useful for fishing. Battery lasts ridiculously long. Ease of customization is great. Can’t believe how much info is available at just a glance.

So many features and stats!
I have had this watch for about 3 weeks now and can't stop checking my stats! It tracks so many stats for you to check out. Steps, heart rate, body battery, sleep, calories, stress, weather, HRV status, brpm, and many more! This is exactly the kind of watch I wanted. I purchased it right before a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park and wanted it to track my hikes and a couple of other stats and it has blown me away with all the features. I used to have an apple watch and this Garmin watch does all the apple watch does and so much more! Never going back to apple!

I Love the features it has
It's a great watch. I'm loving the battery life and I don't have to turn on water resistant like Galaxy or IPhone. The health features are very good.

Love how durable it is.
I love the durability of it, my Apple Watch lasted maybe a week before I shattered it. All of the controls are buttons but once you get used to it it’s great! It’s crazy light weight (reminds me of a Casio in weight terms). It takes a while to learn it but it’s very user friendly afterwards. The Garmin map is great for mapping runs, the health tracking is insane and has helped me a lot with my fitness goals. 15 day battery life and I have all of the trackers on 24/7

Expected more, disappointed
Bought Garmin coming from Apple Watch, too complicated. Comes with a tiny thick instruction manual that you can’t read even if you wanted to, didn’t really think I would need to actually read it!!! Way too many steps just to do a simple workout, turn on lamp, check a message. Only positive is the battery but I don’t wear my watch to sleep in so what does it matter. Too many buttons on the sides that do to much! I should’ve just purchased another Apple.

Excellent features
I purchased my watch about a month ago and cannot tell you enough what a great purchase it was! I had the extinct solar watch before, and sometimes the screen was hard to read, this one is incredible. Easy to read and easy to navigate as well as very comfortable. I love this watch!!

Great features as a sports watch.
My Garmin Instinct 3 Amoled I have had it for 2 weeks and my Battery still has 50 percent which means my Battery can last a month without charging. Unbelievable and that's just one of the best features.

Great rugged watch
This was my first Garmin purchase. Wanted a fitness tracker that would stand up to everyday work as an elevator mechanic. This watch is robust and I love the garmin network and data I’m getting from my runs and cycling.

Worth the Purchase!
Big Garmin fan! Battery length is major win! My prior Garmin lasted 5 years, and went with the Instinct Amoled this time. 60 days since purchase and happy so far!

Love my new watch , the features are great
Got my watch a few weeks ago , got a friend to help me set it up, he showed me that I could do it all on my phone through Harmon connect and it was a game changer. Still haven’t gotten all that this watch offers . Love my morning review , that is really special. Sleep review and my recovery stats
