Instinct 3, 50mm AMOLED, Neotropic/Twilight
Product details
Web ID: 20996207Upgrade from the Instinct 2X Solar
I am semi-happy with the Amoled version of this series. The face colors are brilliant, and somewhat customizable. I also enjoy the red light shift option. The glass is clear, showing no distortion and easy to maintain. The persistent problems of accurate sleep tracking are still present. I have to secure my watch SUPER tight (loosen for the day, cinch down at sleep.) to get it to track properly. It would be super helpful if there was a start/end sleep button on the watch/app. Another point of contention is the fact that you can receive a notification to answer a phone call, but without an internal speaker you cannot communicate until you grab your phone, so that function is worthless in functionality. I really like the appearance and style of this series, but I do not know if I would purchase this at it's price point with the two detractors that I mentioned above.

Fantastic watch
Have a Garmin vivosmart watch. This is a major upgrade, well worth the extra $$. More accurate in all features. Great battery life 14 days with no issues.

still figuring it out
At this point I've had this just over a month and I'm pretty happy with it. Upgraded from a fitbit and this is so much more powerful, too much so, in some respects. I'm still learning about all the metrics it provides and which ones are really relevant to me. It is aggravating that it won't connect with our current smart devices, such as blood pressure devices and weight scales; waste a lot of time entering results manually. I tried a prior Instinct E, but could not accept the monochrome screen. SO glad I got this one, in comparison - very much easier to use and see with the amoled screen.

Great Eatch
Bought this to dip my toe back in the Garmin world. Got tired of having to always charge my Apple Watch everyday and sometimes twice a day. Man I am so impressed with this watch that now I wish I had gone big and bought the Fénix 8. But I am really really happy with the Instinct 3 once I learned how all the features worked. I do miss being able to do things on the screen. But dang this thing gives me ALL my notifications. It works better with an iPhone than the Apple Watch ever did. Love, love, love my Garmin watch and happy I made the switch.

Great features and battery life
Bought this watch around a month ago. Waited to review it because I wanted to get to know it first. Love how I can create and send workouts to the watch, navigation is easy and user-friendly, the small LED light is mega handy and it doesn't feel heavy when hiking in long trips. No touchscreen is actually a benefit once you get used to navigating with the buttons.

Wow! What a watch!
I purchased the watch for the dog tracking capability with my Garmin Alpha series GPS dog collar. I also found out the watch had a waterski app. The waterski app helps me ski more efficiently. The watch is full of functions I’m still learning how to use!
