Customer Ratings & Reviews

The improved contast is worth it personally. There is almost no difference between the elevate 4 and 5 sensor on my wrist so I do not care its the “old sensor”. All of these instinct watches, and quite frankly all fitness/sports/smartwatches have their issues, quirks and glitches. This one requires proper updating through Garmin Express to get the battery life to display properly. The orange accents do not bother me like I thought they might. They are subtle and gives it some character. I can not use silicone or rubber watch straps. The Ultrafit nylon straps are incredibly comfortable and create a better fit and adjustment. I typically disable all features except for HR and full charge gets 31 days with one or two activites tracked. Solar charging is incredible compared to prior gen.

Well worth the money! I work outside all day and enjoy the solar charging. It has a ton of exercises to choose from to track. I have only used it at work and a couple bike rides but I haven’t begun to use it to its full capability. The torch light is really convenient when you need both hands to work on something at night. Or just getting a drink of water in the middle of the night. I’ve had a fitbit watches for ten years and this blows them out of the water.

This is a great watch! Upgraded from the instinct first edition and it was well worth the price. I use the flashlight all the time. Who would have thought it would be so handy? My wife calls it my super power. LOL Battery life is even better than the first series. With pulse oxygen on for monitoring sleep i get 19 days battery life.

I bought this watch after doing some research, Im have hypertension and always need to monitor my BP Ive had other smart watch like samsung an apple and this one is the best. I work alot out in the sun and last week I was doing a job out in the sun I knew I was really pushing my limits but you get to a point it feels normal but its not. Once I finished the job about 10 hr got in my service vehicle drank about two bottle of water I was super tired and burnt from so much sun. My watch started beeping and stating my HR was over 100 bpm I felt I was about to turn into Hulk jajaja so I stop took my med. The stats on the phone are really freindly it has so many uses, battery ñast for ever, defenetly Im not going back to other watches.

This is my first smartwatch; having to charge a watch seemed very inconvenient, so I have stuck to traditional watches. I wanted to keep track of my fitness goals, so a smartwatch was a good option compared to carrying my phone everywhere. When looking for watches, long battery life and a screen that wasn’t so bright and colorful (like a phone screen) were my top priorities. I decided on the instinct 3 solar because of the long battery life, what the watch was able to track, and having access to Garmin’s GPS function for running. The watch fits and feels like any other watch; the screen isn’t distracting; it tracks everything I’m looking for in regards to health and fitness. The light on the watch was a nice feature, but not necessarily a selling point.

Although I haven't figured out all the functions, I'm pretty happy with this watch. I especially like the torch feature since I'm really into flashlights and having that was a pleasant surprise.

I wanted a watch that was more geared towards working out than an Apple Watch. This is my first ever non-Apple wearable and I love it. It tracks my sleep among many other things, some of which I am still finding out. The battery life is amazing. I went from charging a watch every night to this watch, which I’ve had for about 30 days and had to charge once. It has been a huge upgrade. I don’t think I could go back to Apple after having this.

The best thing about the watch is that it is solar and doesn't need to be charged very often. Actually have not charged again since Father's Day and it's been over a month. The rugged look also is very pleasing, my husband works in construction and it's held up pretty well in many conditions and he's had many compliments on the watch. This product is well worth the cost.

I use this watch daily. The battery life with the solar charging is incredible! Super easy to track activities and manage things like music or even checking tidal charts. A worthwhile purchase all around.

This was a gift for my boyfriend. He absolutely loves it! He appreciates the very long battery life, the charging capabilities through the solar cell, the flash light and the physical buttons on the bessel. Absolutely recommend for someone who hates charging a watch regularly but still want all the fancy smart watch features.

Great improvement from Apple Watch!!! I appreciate the ruggedness and durability as well as the battery life. The solar feature keeps my battery charged for two weeks. It is very easy to use for fitness tracking and gives much more in-depth and accurate information then Apple Watch and just using the Health app

Great watch. I have been a Garmin enthusiast for 10+ years. Operating system is unmatched with battery life and practicality with active lifestyles.

Awesome battery life. Easily works for 20 to 25 days per charge. Good for athletes to track basic metrics.

Comfortable to wear evryday. Still getting used to wear it night, its little uncomfortable. I liked the good morning message and the aummary it provides each day. Loved the color too

Great watch and the charge lasts a long time and very reliable

Great watch. Replaced my fitbit. Great battery life, accurate step tracker. Sleep scores and heart rate monitoring. Rough and ruggid.

My boyfriend lives his watch I got him! It works for everything he needs it for!

The best watch for a runner. Almost no need of charging it. Great style. Love it!

I have a heart condition and purchased this smart watch so I could have a constant monitoring of my heart rate. It notifies me when my heart rate gets too low or too high. I enjoy the other app options it has as well of it being waterproof so I can wear it in the shower. A great smart watch.

I use the crap out of this watch….. I’m in construction and put it to the test daily and have never had one issue with it
