Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

Really love the watch, use the GPS and flashlight all the time. Really enjoy not having to charge but once a month

Very happy with this watch. I bought this as a daily watch after being tired of super smart watches with the intention of tracking steps while also having enough battery for hiking/backpacking. I'm happy to say that this has done all that and more. This has just enough smart features to keep me informed but not too much where I feel overwhelmed. The MIP display looks great and the controls work great without a touchscreen. The torch/flashlight is an added bonus. A few negatives worth mentioning is that the solar really doesn't seem that effective and the breadcrumb mapping is not the best. The solar not being effective is not a concern since I only spend a few days at a time on trail and I typically track my location via my phone for mapping so both of these issues are mitigated for me. Overall I am very happy with this device!

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

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

I am really enjoying this watch. Moved from a Garmin Vivoactive 5. Obviously, the larger display makes reading so much easier. I have noticed that it keeps much better track of my heart rate than the Vivo 5. Not a fan of silicone bands so I have purchased a canvas band instead that matches the blue coloring. I still have a week's worth of battery life left on the initial charge so that really pleases me. It seems durable but I am pretty easy on my devices. Very comfortable to wear once I replaced the band with a shorter length and more absorbent material.

This watch is one the best purchases I’ve ever made! I wanted to gift my husband a great gift because he works so hard, and this watch exceeded my expectations. Not too mention he loved it also!

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 have had the watch for about 6 week. I love the battery life on it. I am getting about 3 weeks on one charge unless I am outside a lot, then I get more. It is fairly easy to use especially since I use to have the gen 1. Getting the watch face customized can be a little trickly but not bad at all.

Like the look in the watch. The battery last longer due to the solar charge. I am able to track my sleep, steps and other health in the app. I did get an irregular heartbeat alert while exercising which is good to know so I can follow up with my doctor.

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.

I got this for my husband for our anniversary. He absolutely loves it. He wears it every single day. His favorite feature is that it tracks his sleep.

I originally bought this watch with the intent of not having to charge it ever again when in smart watch mode. It has not let me down thus far, thankfully with my daily solar exposure, the battery is still showing the same amount of days left for my battery as it did on day one!

Excellent watch. It is extremely comfortable and I have had no issues with it! Syncing it to my phone has been a huge quality of life improvement since it alerts me anytime I get a text message. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a watch, especially anyone who is an outdoorsy type!

The cost is the same as an Apple Watch. I have yet to charge this product and I have had this for almost a month now. If you are looking for something that looks different than an Apple Watch I would highly recommend this product

I'm with ROTC and been using it for a bit now, with all its features and stuff I'd say its very worth for someone that does a lot of pt and outdoors stuff. Came from a samsung watch though so its take some getting used to setting up to track activities. Else wise features are good. Hope it lasts a while

For the cost, it is a very worthwhile watch. The only downside, I think, is the black-and-white interface and the way it shows maps. Otherwise the battery life is amazing, as is the ability to charge with solar.

Love this garmin solar watch, it made a wonderful Christmas gift and was an easy set up. All of the features are easy to navigate, and with everything you can do using this watch it's a great price.
