    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.

    Very durable

    I bought my instinct 3 almost a month ago and so far it’s been the greatest purchase I’ve ever made, I’ve been on runs to track my fitness and smacked it across numerous things because of my job and it more than capable of handling it.

    Great watch, amazing battery life too

    Have always been interested in Garmin watches. I bought this less than a month ago and it is perfect! Really easy to maneuver all of the options on the watch. Incredibly comfortable to wear, And I love the long battery life.

    I like it. I think the band should be stronger with metal clasp. Bought it for the AB feature but love the sleep tracking. Pretty much tells me what I already knew but now have data to support.

    Awesome Watch!

    I bought it a few weeks ago because I wanted to get away from my Apple watch. At first, I might have been a little intimidated because I just didn't know how to use the watch, but now I love it. I still do not know all the functionality the watch has but I am learning. I am glad I made the switch!

    Better than Apple

    I bought this watch and I'm so happy I did. I used to wear a Apple watch Ultra and there is two things that are huge difference. The first is obviously the battery. I would have to charge my apple watch at least everyday if not only 2 days of use. I went 3 weeks and I still had battery of 35%. The second is I use my watch to track sleep as well as my alarm. I have 2 small kids and one that still sleeps in our room so the traditional alarm would wake our child up. So I went with wearing a watch to wake me up from vibrate option. But the weight compared to apple watch was so much better. I would dread having to wear my apple watch because it was uncomfortable because of weight. I never got used to wearing it. Now with Garmin I barely know I'm wearing it at night. Biggest game changer in my option.

    Pretty good.

    This is an amazing watch. The only complaint I have is that it does not have a default strong password lock and unlock, though you can wipe it, with commands though that is not quote clear as to how either. This aside, screen is bright, battery lasts for weeks and it has stealth modes and quiet modes.

    Simplicity meets functionality

    Extremely happy with the layout of this watch. The bright neon green lights make it easy to see in any condition. GPS tracking is phenomenal and very accurate. I cant wait to use the watch to track my hiking and training experiences this summer!

    Excellent watch

    I purchased this to replace my Fenix 5. So far it's been outstanding. Of course I'm still learning all the features, it has more features than I'll ever use.

    It's a nice watch

    Overall the watch was good but the buttons did not work well. It would freeze up when I would want to change the watch face. Need to make sure the watches work properly before sending out to the customers.

    A real pain to find things

    Can't seem to get back to the main screen to just see the time. No one button gets you black from the way to many features you can't block or turn off. Tech sit is good but they even can't get things to work right . But the green screen is great.

    Rugged watch

    It’s a solid watch, but not at all user friendly. No touch screen makes it even harder to navigate >
