Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hands down one of the best watches I have owned. I have taken it on a few backpacking trips and the GPS is extremely reliable. As well as the battery life. I used GPS while hiking around for 4 days and still had 16 days of battery life by the end of it. The amount of features is great but my top 3 are the GPS for hiking, great battery life (especially with solar), and of course the built in flashlight. This watch is a tank!

I made some research before purchasing this garmin and I am absolutely loving it. It is the 2nd garmin I have, the previous was a forerunner 235. It wears very comfortable specially when doing my workouts and I've been using it to track road running, treadmill, strength training, jumping rope, inline skating and indoor cycling so far. I like very much the strength training tracking, it can even identify some workouts (as long you are executing the proper form). I've also signed up for a virtual running coach and I'm enjoying the experience so far. It makes everything organized with the schedule workouts easily synced between the smartwatch and the app. The battery is awesome, it lasts forever and I only had to recharge after a month. I will use it as an indicator that I need to go more outdoors to use more solar recharge, but also as a way to keep up with my vitamin D levels.

Excellent build quality, durability, and functionality

Bought the Garmin watch for my boyfriend for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! He has been with a smart watch for about 6 months or more. Its got a lot of features that he loves and even sleeps with it on! This product has wxcweded expectations!

Great watch, incredible battery life. The solar charging exceeded my expectations. I took it with me on a 7-day backpacking trip and used it on the highest battery drain GPS mode the entire time I was moving. I finished the trip with almost 50% battery life left.

I love the watch! Huge upgrade over my Samsung watch. The solar charging is a great feature! I only have to charge it once ever couple of weeks. The Samsung watch had to be charged every day!

Picked this up to try and compare against my Apple Watch. As a brain tumor survivor, I’m very interested in my health stats. Helping me track my sleep and honestly looks cool too. Would recommend.

I have always had an apple watch but this does absolutely everything!!! Best smartwatch I've ever owned. I highly recommend, i promise you won't be disappointed.

This watch is vary good for sport and very good for battery chigger one time can be use more then two weeks.

I originally had a forerunner 265, before I broke it. I honestly like the face of the 265 better than the instinct 3 solar. The instinct is harder to read messages, it has alot more information available on the screen without going through the fuctions of the watch. On the plus side the instinct battery life incredibly long 20 plus days without a single charge. If I were younger it would be a non issue as far as seeing the watch but now i need to pull out readers... most of the time I just dismiss notifications since I can't just glance down at it and tell what it says. If your eye sight is better then it will an awesome watch.

Got this as a gift for my husband. He loves the durability of the watch and not having to worry about breaking it as easy as other smart watches. Battery life lasts forever

The battery life is only about 14 days if you workout/run regularly and use the GPS features. No big deal just charge it whenever you need too. But it will 100% last 28 days or more with the solar charging if you just want a smart watch. Visibility is great too, bright or dark you can always clearly see the display. Overall highly recommend if you need a watch that can last in the rigorous conditions and tracking tour physical performance

Great watch with outstanding battery life. I was not a fan of the red ring around the bezel and that round complication in the top right hand quadrant. I ended up returning this watch in favor or something that is a bit more muted but I would absolutely recommend it all day if you are looking for a rugged fitness tracker that has all of the basics. Garmin kept it simple with the exception of the two things that I highlighted. This could be the perfect watch for the right person.

Love this watch and the buttons on the side are much easier to use than my previous Garmin watch with the touch screen. Battery life is awesome. Best Buy lowered the price after I purchased the watch and I was able to get a $100 price match

Although a bit pricey, this is a great watch. I thought i wouldn't like the orange accent, but it's honestly looks pretty good in person. Mostly got it for the battery (I have a Galaxy Watch Classic 8 as a smartwatch), and the battery has been great on it. Wastes about 10 percent (probably a little less) per day, and it has become my daily wearable. Great for tracking workouts too.

The watch is amazing. The face is a little bigger than expected but it works amazing!

Long battery life, rugged durability, built in flashlight and reliable GPS.

The best purchase ever!! Battery last almost a week, health features are outstanding and accurate, heart monitor is so reliable!!! Love my watch!!!

Purchased this watch as a Christmas gift my son who is a big outdoorsman. He is well pleased with it. Great features.

the watch does it all. it even recharges itself while you are wearing it. it delivers messages from my phone.
