    Battery Life so much better than Apple Ultra

    Very happy with my new Instinct 3. I am very happy with getting almost a month of battery life between charges. My Apple Ultra was to the point that it wouldn't even last a day. It is lightweight, even with the 50mm size; I barely know that I have it on. The default home screen show all the important information that I want, Tactical Edition. The AMOLED display is easy to read at all lighting conditions. Not hard to learn despite that you have only buttons and no touchscreen display. Not as easy to mess anything up that way.

    Great watch

    Very happy with this watch, I wish the greenlight built into the watch was a red light similar to the Fenix and other models.

    Comfortable and functional.

    This is the 3rd Instinct I’ve owned. Lost the first and gave away the second. I have loved each one. My first two were tacticals and so while I don’t use all the features that the tactical has to offer anymore I decided not to mess with a good thing and I haven’t been disappointed. The Instinct is comfortable on my wrist and it’s so light it’s almost forgettable while working out. Amazingly it doesn’t feel cheap either so I would consider the price to be perfect or maybe even generous. With all the features I find myself making simple changes like color and layout but sticking with most default settings because it’s an effective and attractive setup. Love the options but appreciate the default functionality. I’ll most likely be buying another one when I need to and highly recommend the instinct to everyone. I use it for kickboxing, running, swimming, mountain biking, strength training, hiking and adventure motorcycle bike-packing.

    Great watch

    I purchased this watch about a month ago. So far I love it. It is a little tricky to adjust the settings as I am used to the Apple Watch.

    Instinct 3 AMOLED

    Great watch, many usable features. Like GPS, long-life battery for hiking/camping. Careful when you choose your style. Thought I was buying solar power. Clicked on wrong style. Kept watch because it is still amazing.

    Less than 30 days and it’s dead.

    Really enjoyed it until a flashing blue triangle appeared and now the device is in a perpetual reboot loop. Device is totally unresponsive. Holding down the light button will not power it down. This never happened with my AW ultra 3.

    AMOLED is nice

    Have owned many Garmin watches and they all have performed great with little to no issues! This is the first AMOLED watch and like the clarity a lot!

    Garmin over Apple

    I bought this watch for Police Academy and have absolutely loved it! I previously had the Forerunner 265 and I am enjoying the tactical feel and features of the Instinct 3.

    While we may own other brands: Garmin is GO TO

    Exactly what I Wanted. More than I need and simply wanted. Could I have gotten something much more expensive. . . I hadn’t had ‘that much’ to drink that evening and my cooler head prevailed. Garmin is King at this time. Seiko, Casio, Seiko (Again) and Reactor my previous fixations. . . All still exist in a drawer. Instinct Gen 1 lasted seven years. Gonna be sending it in for a check up and Battery Change (it in the end was holding a full charge for about six hours to power off. Loving Garmin still Instinct 3 - agin much more than I personally need but my options are wide open. Scale of One to Five - five.
