Q: Is this phone rechargeable battery or it's just a regular watch battery?

submitted by Gerard - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Instinct E Smartwatch. The Garmin Instinct E Smartwatch uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is not a regular, non-rechargeable watch battery.

Q: Is the screen on the Instinct E able to be read easily outside in the sunlight?

submitted by wtp - 2 months ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Instinct E Smartwatch. Yes. The Garmin Instinct E is specifically designed to be easy to read outdoors, including in bright sunlight. It uses a monochrome, transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display that Garmin describes as sunlight-readable/sunlight-visible. In fact, this type of display often becomes more legible in direct sunlight, unlike many AMOLED screens that can struggle with glare. The Instinct E's display is optimized for outdoor activities such as hiking, running, cycling, and navigation. What to expect ✅ Excellent visibility in full sun. ✅ High-contrast monochrome display. ✅ Designed for outdoor and rugged use. ⚠️ Not as colorful or vibrant as an AMOLED smartwatch display. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    Instinct 3 E 45

    I haven’t worn a watch since I retired, but decided to try this. I have other Garmin products and really liked them. This Instinct 3 is large on my wrist and I have to keep it tight to work properly. Directions need pictures for us older folks, had it for three weeks before I found the menu button. So it’s ok but doubt I would buy another one. My nick name is required but can’t be used by someone else, dum dum

    My thoughts on Instinct

    I am using this watch as part of a veterans program I am in. There is a learning curve to it, and I am still learning, so I cannot comment on everything. First, I am a petite female and the band fits great. It is comfortable to wear to exercise, outdoor activities, and sleep. I downloaded the app and I am getting useful information, but again, I need to learn more about all of the functions. I definitely am happy with this watch.

    BEST SMARTWATCH EVER

    Bought a few weeks ago and I am very satisfied with my purchase. This watch has a 2 week battery life and doesn't constantly interrupt you and try to replicate your smartphone. Instead it takes the best features of a smartwatch and combines it with durability, ease of use/function and affordability. The bluetooth is discreet and used only when syncing info so you don't feel the odd "electric tingle" from other smartwatches - your arm never feels weighed down or pressured. I use this all day except for showers and charge once every 2 weeks. It perfectly tracks my daily life, workouts and sleep. Things get busy and I don't wanna neglect my health. This watch is the perfect integration of technology to create a wearable device that feels like a friend looking out for you or a coach keeping track.

    Love my Garmin Forerunner watch!

    First impression: I love the look. The black is sleek, understated, and has that slightly rugged “I might go hiking after work” vibe. It also looks great with everyday clothes, which matters to me. My wrists are tiny, and thankfully the watch doesn’t feel oversized. I’ve used it for CrossFit, running, HIIT, walking, and everyday activity. So far impressed by its GPS, heart rate tracking and calorie tracking. BUT… Garmin, we need to talk about sleep metrics: My sleep score has occasionally told me I had an excellent night when I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. I feel like it could be more intuitive.

    Difficulty getting started.

    I bought this watch a couple of weeks ago. I have an older instinct and wanted a cleaner watch that would be a good spare as well. I’ve spent about 30 minutes trying to get the new one set up. So far I can’t get it to show a watch face. I will spend more time with it soon to see if I am misunderstanding instructions but am disappointed that I wasn’t able to set it up with the ease of my first Instinct.

    The watch has far exceeded my expectations. I should've purchased one sooner. It's not a basic watch to me. It is very updated for what I need.

    That’s what I like

    Had “A”nother brand of watch the required charging every day. What a nice feature to go for two weeks between charging. Like all other Garmin gadgets once you get familiar with features & functions it’s a tool.

    Doesn’t have the feature I’d like, but it said it

    It sucks. I bought it to coordinate with my Garmin 2000 I and there is no dog icon on the set.

    Has Met my expectations.

    I have looked at Garmin watches that would pair with my Garmin 200i for a couple of years. The price on the Instinct E-45mm finally convinced me to buy. The watch has met my expectations. I know that Garmin has some watches that might map or give me information better, but this watch really is all I need.

    I ran 5 miles with the watch today it was connected to my Garmin app and the watch told me my time every mile I ran through my headphones. I really appreciate SHEELS for setting the watch and connected to my Garmin app. I really enjoy my Garmin instinct watch.

    Time face number needs to be more pronounced.

    This is my second Garmin. My last one was a solar. It functions the same. If I had a wish it would be to make the time display brighter and darker to see the numbers better.
