Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED Smartwatch

The watch is great The manual does not tell you enough on how to set up the watch That’s a issue With the manual

The Instinct 3 Amoled 45 mm is a great piece of art to wear on my wrist... Once Garmin fixes the picture transfer problem, it will be a complete dream come true.

I love my Instinct 3. I wanted a wearable that could track strength training well, and this watch does just that and more. I find that it makes training and pushing yourself even more fun by seeing progress recorded. It also give me deep insight into body that I had never had before. Highly recommend.

Nice watch easy to use. One thing I wish the band was a little bigger. One band came with it, but it works.

As an apple watch owner, I have been disappointed that this watch is not nearly as user friendly. I do like it though & am learning. Great battery life & flashlight.

This watch is better in every way than the Instinct or Instinct 2. Once it's set up, which does take some effort, with one press on the controls, I can easily connect it to feed my pulse to my Edge 830 for biking, track my indoor biking when the weather is inclement and monitor my weight work. I was confused a bit about the weight settings as I use a rapid sequence on various machines and weights; when I contacted Garmin, a rep responded with a workable solution in a day or two. Good support. What I most like is how readable the watch is in full sun or under a dark canapy; it is always easy to see.

Still learning all its features, but once you get familiar with it the navigation of apps is intuitive. Great for counting reps and sets of my workouts.

Everything I hoped for, and more. Ultralight, yet tough. AOLED display is so sharp. Last but certainly not least… battery life averaging 18 days for me - and I am quite active with multiple exercise sessions per day.

I’ve had my Instinct 3 about 3 weeks now and so far it has functioned flawlessly. Many more features than my Vivoactive 4. Certainly fits my lifestyle and training needs well.

I needed to update my old forerunner 935 since the GPS elevation gain tracking has been terrible for over a year, not matter what I did per YouTube and Garmin advice. All I really wanted was better GPS options and a good battery, and the instinct 3 was the answer. I didn't need more wiz & pang technology that I would use.. and I could get a color other than BLACK!!! (REI green model). love it!!!

Good service should have only one name! Garmin! This brand really thinks about you!

For me it was to heavy for sleeping,difficult to check your vitals,overall to complicated so I send it back.

I bought this watch a few weeks ago to replace my Instinct camo. The Instinct 3 has a great battery life and I really like the flashlight. Only downside so far is that a few of my activities have been saved on the watch but for some reason they don't sync to Garmin connect. Otherwise I would give 5 stars. Anyway it's a great watch and I hope to enjoy it for the next few years until I upgrade.

Haven’t been able to understand all the data available. Need some form of cheat sheet to explain.

I have had my watch for about a month. The display is crystal clear. The flashlight is better than expected. I enjoy how light weight the unit is, it is the lightest watch I have had in years. I like not having a touchscreen for activations when I’m trying to sleep. It does all of the garmin things and has a personal trainer for weights. The battery life is very good.

Positive aspects: The watch feels rock-solid yet lightweight, and despite not having a touchscreen, it’s surprisingly easy to navigate after just a few hours of use. The overall design looks great — rugged but stylish. The battery life is incredibly impressive, especially after years of using an Apple Watch. I can go for days without worrying about charging, which is a huge advantage. Things that could be improved: • Watch face customization: On the main screen, the small calendar section always starts the week on Sunday. It may not sound major, but for those of us outside the U.S., it’s distracting not to be able to change the first day of the week. • iOS integration: As an iPhone user, I really wish there were iOS widgets to display some Garmin data (like steps or calories) on my lock screen or home screen. Also, quick replies to messages are available for Android users but not for iOS, which is disappointing. • Bluetooth range: I’ve noticed the Bluetooth connection is very weak compared to other smartwatches. The signal drops even when my phone is just in the next room — and I live in a small apartment. This really shouldn’t happen with this kind of device. • Sleep schedule system: This is my biggest frustration. The watch forces you to set a fixed sleep and wake schedule, and there’s currently no way to disable it. I often sleep and wake up at different times, so having to define a specific time each day doesn’t work for me. If the schedule ends before I actually wake up, it sends the morning report and stops tracking sleep — meaning I lose sleep data and also disabling the do not disturb mode. It would be so much better if Garmin allowed users to turn this feature off and let some people to put their watches to sleep mode when desired, not only scheduled.

Originally received one with issues. After a couple of months of trying to make it work I was able to return it for a free replacement. The replacement works flawlessly and the weather data at a glance has been extremely useful for fishing. Battery lasts ridiculously long. Ease of customization is great. Can’t believe how much info is available at just a glance.

I have had this watch for about 3 weeks now and can't stop checking my stats! It tracks so many stats for you to check out. Steps, heart rate, body battery, sleep, calories, stress, weather, HRV status, brpm, and many more! This is exactly the kind of watch I wanted. I purchased it right before a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park and wanted it to track my hikes and a couple of other stats and it has blown me away with all the features. I used to have an apple watch and this Garmin watch does all the apple watch does and so much more! Never going back to apple!

It's a great watch. I'm loving the battery life and I don't have to turn on water resistant like Galaxy or IPhone. The health features are very good.

No regerts, so far. Love everything about this watch, especially the battery life…coming from an Apple watch.
