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 weight scales; waste a lot of time entering results manually. I tried a prior Instinct E, but could not accept the monochrome screen. SO glad I got this one, in comparison - very much easier to use and see with the amoled screen.

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 screen. But dang this thing gives me ALL my notifications. It works better with an iPhone than the Apple Watch ever did. Love, love, love my Garmin watch and happy I made the switch.

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!

Great features
I bought my Garmin one month ago the features were easy to navigate and set up. The sleep feature is one feature I started using during the weekdays.

Very Customizable
I am very impressed with the number of activities that can be tracked, and the details and data that can be captured. My intent was to only use this for one activity, but I can see that I'm going to be setting it up for other activities. The display is very clear, even in bright sunlight. Remembering how to find the different menus takes a little practice, but it didn't take long.

Perfect
I purchased 2 weeks ago and have been pleasantly surprised with the ease from going to a different model to the Instinct 3. It is super responsive, accurate and has an incredible long lasting battery.

Superior, smart watch in every way!
I bought this to replace my Apple Watch being amazed at the ease of use and how much better it is at tracking individual activities am amazed that some of the features that this has packed into it 10 times what Apple watches got. Completely sold on the Garmin product so much so about the speed sensors for the bike and the scale to round out the training regiment very worthwhile investment.

It’s the best watch made instinct, 350 mm
I was so thankful about this watch and I couldn’t wait for it to get here. It is so helpful. It does so many things. It’s one of the smartest watches on the market and when I say one of the best right now since I’ve worn it now and used it. I can honestly say it is the best the features are great Best Buy ever made

My first Garmin
I can't compare it to other Garmin models, but I can compare it to other commercial sports watches or bands I've had. And definitely, buying this Instinct 3 was my best decision of the year. Robust, masculine, it gives me access to Connect with countless sports statistics that really matter. It's like having a coach in my hand instead of a circus clown. The only thing I miss is being able to listen to music, but the absence of this feature is overshadowed by its other powerful functions. Excellent purchase, I will definitely move on to more models from the brand.

Great battery life….great watch!
I was looking for a watch that had a brighter display with a longer battery life. I found that in the Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED watch. Even with notifications on, the 15 day battery life is outstanding. Support from Garmin has been over the top! Having a issue with the watch, receiving superior guidance my issue became resolved. This is my 3 rd Garmin watch, and they get better with each new product they introduce. Keep up the great work!

Pretty complicated to get started
I like the watch a lot, and some of the features are intuitive, but a good deal of it requires mastering the navigation of menus which I've not found to be easy.

One drawback
I have had this for a couple months now. I like it except for one thing and that is that the screen doesn't light up all the time when I turn my wrist to look at it. I know I can set it to display all the time but I believe that uses battery faster.

Better than a Instinct 2X Solar, but...
This watch is aesthetically awesome, and the screen is better for me with its AMOLED option. Although this watch still does not track my sleep 100%.That same issue was present with its predecessors (Vivo Active, Instinct 2X.) The nap tracking is an added benefit, but it does not ease the frustration of missing sleep recording. Also, it seems silly to have phone call notifications that you are unable to answer, as this watch does not have a speaker or mic. Overall I do recommend this watch, but there are room for improvements.

Sleep app need to software update big time
Just to be clear, I love the watch! Amazing for tracking data but the sleep reading is never accurate, never! Starts tracking at least 2 hours after I actually go to sleep so because the sleep is shorter it keeps thinking you need recovery and it starts affecting readiness score and body battery and stress, is so bad that I’m thinking to buy another smartwatch just to teach the sleep accurately… Please is this can’t be fixed do it, it’s a very big downside despite the fact that is an amazing watch.

I'd recommend changing your sleep window. That can be done using the steps in this link: http://ms.spr.ly/6423sMHl3 If issues persist, please get in touch with our wearable experts at the following link: http://ms.spr.ly/6424sMHlO -MR

Not worth the asking price
I love the watch but the limited capabilities such as missing maps it’s not worth it. The forerunner even the 945 might be a better option. More features is needed in this watch.

Problems with Golf Activity Feature
I like the Instinct 3 Amoled, but my experience with its golf activity feature is subpar. Specifically, since the watch does not have preloaded golf courses, courses must be download to my IPhone using the Garmin Connect app. I downloaded my home course, but the course map is seriously outdated, so the map is useless. (Curiously, it seems that the current map for my home course is preloaded on the Garmin Approach 12 watch.) And, of the half dozen or so courses that I have downloaded using the Garmin Connect app, the watch doesn’t find the latest course that I’ve downloaded. The user manual seems to recognize that there is a problem with the watch not always seeing a downloaded course, and suggests several possible fixes, but none of the suggestions fixes have worked so far. Quite frustrating and disappointing, So I am giving the golf activity feature of this watch a triple bogey score.

Please make sure you have the most recent version of Connect on your phone. I'd also recommend syncing your watch with Garmin Express on the computer. If you haven't used Express, you can download it at Garmin.com/express. If you still see errors on your local course, please report those to our cartography team using the form here: http://ms.spr.ly/6421sKvfb »CP

All around great watch, but….
Overall, I found this watch to be fantastic. Love the features that come with the watch( even though they don’t differ very much from the last 2 generations of Instincts). The new watch face designs are great. I think the amoled screen is a great addition. The watch seems to be very durable, until you get to the screen, or what Garmin calls, reinforced glass, Big deal breaker for me. The watch I received, was deeply scratched on the face and that turned me off immediately. For the price point of this watch, I don’t think it’s too much to ask for sapphire.

Great watch!
I truly enjoy my watch. I transitioned from an Apple Watch to the Instinct 3. However, the only downside is that the elevation feature has stopped working and consistently displays 0. I have cleaned the watch and checked the sensor, but nothing seems to fix the issue.
