Customer Ratings & Reviews

The watch is a great better life, I have used it now for almost a month, without charging. I haven’t seen much utility with the solar charging however, it does not like to pray regular smart watches, is a mix in between smart, watches and analog watches might gives you a vibe off digital watch, combined with a smart watch. You have to get notifications on the watch. Starting an exercise exercises, not as as a friendly command, Apple Watch, or it may just be that it is taking me some time to get used to it. If you’re looking for a lot of different watch your faces, this might not be the watch for you

Love this watch. Solid, looks great and very durable. The flashlight function in the watch has suprisingly come in handy more than orginally thought. Woild recommend!

Definitely not fragile. It is comfortable and the battery life is outstanding.

Love this watch, don’t have to charge like an Apple Watch or Samsung. Has all the functionality and features. Great if you’re military

Good watch, must buy. I am hsing since i buy this watch and its worth. Solar charging is bonus point. Best buy delivered this on tjme. Very happy with best buy service.

Best long lasting battery, best solar powered and rugged

Battery life is great, that was the main reason for the purchase. I switched from a Samsung watch and I really enjoyed that watch. I initially wanted the 50mm watch but the 45mm was just right for my wrist. I beat up watches, so this style met my needs. Just like an old G-shock. Buttons to navigate instead of a touch screen was a big plus. No more accidental selections on the watch from kids or my haphazardness. Also, I have a Google Pixel and this watch receives all the notifications I need.

Upgraded from an Apple Watch. I wanted to simplify and have a more activity driven watch. ( with a great battery life ). Love it. 100% worth the switch.

The Instinct 3 Solar 45mm adds the indispensable flashlight that was missing from the Instinct 2 Solar 45mm, a portable light that is surprisingly handy once you have experienced its utility. The black and white MIP on the 3 Solar has the same resolution as the 2 Solar but is night and day more contrasty and legible. The 3 sports a beautiful display panel. GPS is on par with the Fenix lineup and includes most of the advanced training metrics. What's not to love? The muted twilight color is uniquely fresh and stands out from the sea of black watches.

Swapped from the Apple Watch to this Garmin. I’ve had it for a few weeks and I’ve noticed a few differences. Apple was simple to use but wasn’t as in depth. Garmin takes some time to adjust to but gives you more. More in terms of tracking sleep and physical training. I do feel like my Garmin doesn’t accurately track my training. I did over 2 miles of cardio but it said I only did 0.25 miles. Not too sure if I have to calibrate it in some way. I do like it because since having this watch for a month or so, I’ve charged it 3 times which is awesome.

Absolutely love this watch. All the functions and then some of other smart watches. PLUS it has 20 days of battery when using all functions. Of course you could go into battery saving mode and add more days. Moving from Apple Watch to this was a great move! What other watches have a powerful torch light built in?

Great watch. Great functions. Easy to use and get used to..

This watch was an upgrade for me from a fit bit. What a change. It is more rugged for my type of job so I don't have to worry about it. The solar charging feature is kind of a gimmick and I would not buy this feature in the future. That is my only gripe with the watch.

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!

Amazing watch! I use it to track pretty much everything from sleep, to workouts, water consumption, literally everything! Long battery life and very accurate workout tracking. Great customization within the app!

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.

We have owned several Garmin. Love them. This one is solar and lasts a long time per charge! The metrics seem to work great

I’m very impressed with this watch. The build quality feels solid and durable, and the design is both stylish and versatile—easy to wear casually or with more formal outfits. The timekeeping has been accurate, and the band is comfortable even after wearing it all day. Overall, it offers great value for the price and looks far more expensive than it is. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for reliability and good style

This watch is pretty awesome. Tons of features and extra that i discovered after purchase. Totally worth it

this is stylish and amazing , I had an old Garmin 235, but this has more features
