  • A Smartwatch That Doesn’t Need Daily Charging!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.
