    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.

    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.

    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

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I bought the first instinct series and this is what the 3 replaced everything has been upgraded from the one to the three the in between charge times is fantastic I have had it about two months and I have only had to put it on charge one time and it saids 24 days left now yes I know it’s supposed to do that but that’s my point it does what they say and some much more. The connectivity has been improved a lot with my old one it was hit or miss this one has failed so far no issues at all

    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.
