I love it. It is very practical and convenient. The only thing that I really don't like is the orange color

Great product, the solar power charging is insanely good. Great for hiking, fishing, and even daily use. Rough if you work in construction it can take some hits

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.
This review is from Garmin - Instinct 3 Solar GPS Smartwatch 45 mm Fiber-reinforced Polymer - Twilight with Twilight Band - (2025)
I would recommend this to a friend

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!

Great product. It's very durable, comes with a bunch of features, and has great connect ability. I definitely recommend for the more outdoorsy/military folk. A majority of the features for this are on the regular Instinct 3. I recommend comparing via Garmin's website for feature comparison prior to committing.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Not a bad watch but it isnt touch screen. Takes awhile to figure out what buttons do what. The solar charging is a plus. It has alot of good features. But if you are looking for something modern that has a touch screen this watch probably isnt for you

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.
