Ya gotta get one or two!
Outstanding! Can't believe I waited so long to get one. Everything about it is amazing, battery life unbelievable, screen sharp and very readable. Everything you need right on your wrist, from health monitoring to most any kind of workouts to navigating the trails. Thanks Garmin!

All function are good but having trouble connecting to the app once the charge drops below 30% and there was some problem during initial connection and setup with the app. Other than that everything is good. I don’t know if it’s the app of watch that has problem

Great watch
I’ve had my watch for two weeks and love it so far. I’ve been using Apple Watches for years and this is my first time with a Garmin watch and the difference so far has been great. The integrated flashlight is a great addition and the battery life is a game changer. My only complaint is when running the Garmin Connect app, I am not able to use my AirPods as the Bluetooth connection is continuously interrupted.

Instinct 3 AMOLD Tactical
No problem with the watch itself but the user manual is very confusing and required several calls to resolve the issues I had.

Like it very much. Replacing my Apple Watch. Love the battery time. Apple had to charge daily. It works seamlessly with my IPhone. There is a bit of a learning curve. But lots of Utube videos helped greatly.

Exactly What I Wanted
I wanted a rugged fitness watch, not another phone on my wrist. The Instinct 3 AMOLED has been perfect. Excellent workout, sleep and recovery data, outstanding battery life, a great display, and it’s completely unobtrusive when I want it to be. The surprise has been how useful the extras are. GPS, compass, altimeter and barometer are great at the ranch, and Garmin Pay already saved me when I left my wallet at home. There’s a learning curve to Garmin’s menus, but once customized, the watch simply fits my life. It does exactly what I wanted, plus several things I didn’t know I wanted. Five stars. I’d buy it again without hesitation.

Sweet watch
Bought about a month ago and very happy with my purchase I had a coros watch for awhile and thought I really liked it but after buying this watch I realized again just how refined the Garmin’s feel and how basic the coros was compared to this

Love this watch
So far could not be happier with my new Amoled Instinct 3 50 mm. Thought the 50MM face would be way too large, but got used to it quickly and love the bold colors. All of the face options with adjustable colors and data are awesome. Still learning all of the features and functions. Highly recommend this watch!

How do I switch from one saved watch face to anoth
The watch is great but the owner manual sucks big time. A simple task like switching from one saved watch face to another turns into major issue, and instructions cannot be found anywhere!

First watch I’ve worn in 25+ years, and it’s just a little different than they used to be. Pretty cool device and I really like not having to look at my phone all the time to see what notifications I’m getting or to even answer the phone or not.

A Fun Time Piece
I had the Instinct Solar & finally after 4 years, I upgraded to the Instinct 3 Amoled & I am thrilled with all of the upgrades and display. Ive got the watch paired with Alpha TT25 dog training/tracking collar & it works great.

Nice watch!
I don’t have anything bad to say about the watch and personally think it was a great buy. Previously had the Coros Pace 4 which I didn’t care for.

An okay watch.
This is my 4th Garmin Instinct. The AMOLED is my first, and visibility wise it’s great and the ability to change background colors is good. The wrist gesture is so so, and for me too long of a delay and I have to over exaggerate turning my wrist. Battery life is less than 18 days vs the 28 plus I am used to. If turn off wrist gesture to constant on it’s a bit over a week. Not using pulse ox, which clearly would drain it even faster. I do military/gov contract work and the non AMOLED could last a few weeks in the field. My old ones all died after a year or two. Sadly I fear this one will be the same. Not sure if I would buy a new and improved one, unless it’s proven it’s self for a few years. Battery issues seem to be the down side. Oddly I can’t attach images.

Step-by-step instructions
I actually like my Garmin watch very much! The only downside is the fact that step-by-step instructions explaining the many functional features of the (4) does not exist. This would be extremely helpful for us seniors!!!

Awesome watch
I bought the Ascent 3 after my Fitbit watch quit working and all I can say is that I am extremely impressed. From longer battery life to built in GPS to many more customizable options and features, this is the watch to have. I can’t wait to use it during my archery hunts this year.

Great upgrade from Instinct 1
Upgraded from an Instinct 1 mainly because I could no longer read the small fonts indoors. That watch still works fine and I’m keeping it for rougher duty such as backpacking. The Instinct 3 amoled is easily read indoors and out, especially with the larger font choice. I like the customization of watch faces, better widgets, and the ability to connect to my inReach Messenger.
