Game Changer
This watch not only does what watches are supposed to do, but it educated and motivates as well. I have probably learned more about my physical health while learning how to navigate and operate my new Garmin Instinct 3 than any other time in my life. I like being able to see the numbers and then be able to see what they mean, how they are calculated, and why they matter. Couple the information with workout plans, coaching plans, and connections and you have a one stop shop for better health and motivation. Don't think I will ever own another brand watch.

Garmin 3
After my Garmin watch stopped working, I went back to my old Samsung watch. I finally decided to get another Garmin. You never know what you use until it isn't there to use anymore. Really like my Garmin watch.

Great watch
I got this watch a bout 3 weeks ago after seeing it on an online ad. I hadn't heard of the Instinct 3 so I looked it up. Saw that it was a 50mm and bought it. I have 2 Epix Pros, Fenix 6 and 7 and the Venu X1. I like watches. The Instinct 3 is by far my favorite. I don't use it for it for what it's intended for. I just got it and like it because it's a big watch.

Fenix 5 upgrade
After 6 years using my Fenix 5x which still works perfectly, I decided to upgrade only for a more readable, brighter display. After a lot of research I went with a competitor’s watch (trusting the hype to be honest) based on reviews and price. It didn’t take long to realize that my trust was misplaced. I came back to Garmin as fast as I could and settled on the Instinct 3 50mm solar. The smartwatch is perfect for this almost 70 year old. I know and trust the watch and app and after almost a month without charging, I am still at 39% battery. I use only a fraction of its capabilities but it’s still perfect for me. I am now a Garmin user for life!

Good watch but needs some work
I like Garmin watches. Have several. My issue with this one is the compass. It doesn't work well. I have other watches with a compass, gps etc... All work well, except for my Instinct. It's just off... I mean WAY off, like 45-90 degrees off. No matter how many times I calibrate it, it doesn't hold. I worked with Garmin to try and resolve. Tried every suggestion they made. Still doesn't work and we're out of options. All the other functions work well, it's just the compass, which is important to me.

Readable and Reliable
I have owned every Fenix since the original, and this was is amazing! The light weight, solid construction, and THE most readable screen ever make this a great watch. The solar function is impressive as well.

Great product evolution
Upgraded to the Instinct 3 50mm after using the original for about 5+ years (still running strong). Three key features I really value in the upgrade: 1) Drastically improved battery life with the solar charging capability. My old Instinct was good for maybe 12-14 days if I only used its base watch features like altimeter, alarms, etc. much shorter if I tracked workouts or other efforts. The new watch routinely displays 31-32 days of battery available and I love to see it go up on backcountry trips after being in the sun all day. 2) Much improved monitors - HRM, HRV, Oximiter, sleep, etc. It really delivers on those features. Combined with its existing ruggedness means it’s up for any activity and 3) The larger 50mm display allows Much more data to be displayed clearly and easily. Overall Garmin made a good sports watch into a great watch.

Awesome watch
Ive had this watch since it came out- I had the Instinct 2 prior. It does everything i need it to and has tons of battery life- and is easily recharged by sunlight. Its light and easy to wear and customizable as to the face. Doesn't have all the fancy features of a fenix 8 but its much easier to wear and tracks most everything you'd need tracked. Id buy it again given the option.
