Inaccurate HR readings
HR rate sensor is inaccurate. Shows 90 when strap based monitor shows 150hr on my bike rides. I also had a chance to compare it to two different straps. Tightening the watch wrist band makes no difference. It’s essentially a piece of junk I’m returning

Awesome for serious adventure athletes.
The watch is literally every that I wanted in a fitness tracker with some bells and whistles for the profession. The Ruck app should honestly be spread across more platforms and I appreciate the light that I use daily. This watch is my new favorite in the line up. Ultras are too easy with the tracker and display in the watch face.

Dexcom app not available on the watch.
Would be 5 stars, but for some reason the ‘Dexcom’ CGM app it not permitted to work on this watch. Come on Garmin make it compatible.

Instinctually better!
This watch is an upgrade from my original Instinct and has some new features including a torch light. That could come in handy during a hike or bike at dusk or in the early morning. Everything else is pretty much the same, but it does record and upload faster to the app.

Garmin Instinct 3
Exactly what I was looking for. I have the previous version, but this one is way better. It shows me all the things I wanted to see on one screen. I stopped using my Apple Watch and replaced it with this watch.

Terrible Controls
Couldn't stand the button controls and no touch screen. Probably a personal preference but not the watch for me.

great watch
This watch looks good, has lots of screen layout options. It's super easy to record GPS workouts on it and see your fitness status. I don't know how to do everything that I want to do on it yet, though, like have quicker access to alarms and timers. They're currently buried in menus

Moved from an apple watch and I am not looking back. Probably the best smart watch I've owned.

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.
