    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

    I’ve been using it for more than a month. It’s been serving me well and gives me that slight disconnect from tech but still having it be advance in the areas I need it. (Fitness) also the battery lasts for days! Which I also love

    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.

    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
