GREAT watch! It handled just about every need I have. The 18 day charge life comes in handy too!

Very good watch and durable. The battery life is svery good and lasts for almost 15days without charging and without power saving

This watch has saved me a lot of trouble when having to track my workouts during work. I’m a wildland firefighter so it’s convenient all around. It’s durable and the battery lasts a long time. Perfect for when I’m out there multiple days.

My husband has always been an athlete. Much to our and his Dr. surprise, he suffered a full arrest heart attack in December 2023. The great news is he was given CPR and brought back with 3 shocks from AED. His heart damage is minimal. He had been using just a basic tracker prior. We decided to upgrade him to this watch and keep a closer eye on things. This watch has given me and him a little more peace of mind as he is back to his regular high activity! Its also very sporty, bright face makes it easy to read. Switch out the silicone band for a cloth band. He loves it!

I've had a handful of health trackers and this by far is the best one and I hope it last is a long time. Not only that but the employee Harry that helped me was awesome. Someone had coincidentally ordered the exact same item from the store while I was there and he was able to secure the last one for me and have the warehouse cancel that other order. I was kind of on the fence between this and the Solar but they did not have the Solar in stock and I would have been very disappointed if I had left empty handed. The in store experience at some places can be hit or miss now days but depending on the employee it can still be a good experience.

Once I figured out the watch it is very easy to use and battery life is good. I think it is pretty neat to be able to create my own clock face with photos and watch faces that are stored in the clock. The fitness timer works well and I have used the flash light several times. Over all, Garmin did a good job.

I bought this for my brother as a birthday gift and he loves it. Very durable, the battery lasts long. He was tired of the Apple Watch and wanted to try this

I made the switch from the Apple Watch Ultra to the Garmin Instinct 3 GPS Smartwatch (45 mm AMOLED, Black), and I couldn’t be happier. The build feels rugged yet sleek, and the AMOLED screen is vibrant and clear even under bright sunlight. Battery life easily lasts me several days of heavy use — something the Ultra never quite delivered. I love the robust activity tracking (running, workouts, swimming, hiking) and navigation features. The GPS is precise, and the maps/data are handy in real-world use. Notifications, heart rate, sleep tracking all work flawlessly and sync well with my phone. It’s lighter, more durable, and just feels more purpose-built than the Ultra ever did. If you’re looking for a high-end smartwatch that excels in fitness and daily use, this Garmin is a home run.

Coming from Fitbits battery life that I liked, I then went to Samsung where I was sick.and tired of having to charge it every single day. I was going to get this watch in the solor but honestly, 16days on a charge and you get the cool screen, yea sold. Couldnt be happier and will never go back to anything else.

After years of using an Apple Watch (since series 4), I switched to the Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED, and I couldn’t be happier. The biggest reason for the change is the amazing battery life. Except shower, I have it on my wrist all the time (including sleeping to track my sleep) -- its been almost over 3 weeks of daily use and I have charged just once. The watch feels rugged yet comfortable, with a bright AMOLED screen that’s easy to read even outdoors. GPS tracking and health features are very accurate, and it handles all my notifications without being distracting. Gave one less star due to the fact that the UI/menu items have been little daunting to get used to compared to the intuitive iWatch menus, but it’s well worth it. If you’re tired of charging your watch daily and want something built for both fitness and adventure, this is the one to get.

Super cool watch. Beautiful bright display. Customizable watchface. Love it!

I’m frankly impressed with this watch. Tracks more than expected. Wish I could move the stats to my computer, but for now the phone is fine. It is much more than I wanted to spend, but very happy I did. Confused that hiking and walking don’t both contribute to the same distance??? Garmin needs to fix that

This is the perfect watch! It looks like a G-Shock but feels even more solid. It supports a lot of activities, tracks your sleep, and looks great especially with the always-on display turned on.

I’m enjoying the watch and the info it provides. Starting my fourth week on the initial charge. Still shows 20% as of this review.

Great watch for fitness. Tracks heart rate great gives good reports on stress and sleep recovery. Great watch for the outdoorsman as well.

Great watch battery last a long time buttons are easy to Navigate

Got this for my husband for his birthday. He is a mechanic and would break the apple I watches. This watch is durable and holds charge for almost 20 days!

Battery life is amazing, I was a long time Apple Watch fan but the garmin has far exceeded any of my expectations

Finally found a fitness watch that is fully functional, great looking and rugged. Love the way it looks and works great.

Best watch, so many features and capabilities. Will not go back to apple.
