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.

Best long lasting battery, best solar powered and rugged

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

Great watch, keeps up with all your steps, heart rate, o2 levels, and much more. It is very durable I work in a fabrication shop and so far it has held up. Battery life is great, especially if you workout in the sun it will recharge itself.

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!

Best watch ever. It is monotone so it can be viewed in almost no light situations. It is hi-tech and very functional. Not your typical smartwatch. More for outdoors and survivalist type people. With solar charging, you rarely ever have to charge.

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 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.

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

Super happy with the item. The upgrade from 2 to 3 is great. Love the look. Super happy with fast shipping as I was on a tight timeline. Wish Best Buy carried the tactical version

Great watch, incredible battery life. The solar charging exceeded my expectations. I took it with me on a 7-day backpacking trip and used it on the highest battery drain GPS mode the entire time I was moving. I finished the trip with almost 50% battery life left.

Got for my husband and he loves the watch especially the solar charging he can go months without putting it on a charger.

I like the large face, it's compatible with my iPhone, the long battery life, and the detailed information on the face.

I love the watch! Huge upgrade over my Samsung watch. The solar charging is a great feature! I only have to charge it once ever couple of weeks. The Samsung watch had to be charged every day!

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!

This watch is vary good for sport and very good for battery chigger one time can be use more then two weeks.
