It’s more than I imagined it would be!
My son bought this for me as a birthday gift to replace my other fitness watch a month ago. I am simply floored as to just how much better this watch is. I’m still discovering the all the features and settings. It is very rugged and can withstand all my activities, which is something my previous watch was not. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially someone who is into monitoring the status of their body and outdoor activities.
Great watch!!
My watch was delivered about a month ago and I don’t think I’ve taken it off besides to charge it once. It weights nothing, barely know you’re wearing it. I added a rubber cover to keep it from getting beat up, and added a magnetic watch band. Neither of these were needed but as my wife says I can’t leave things alone lol. Great watch I recommend it to everyone.
Great watch and useful
I bought it a few weeks ago, I had been without one for many years. I have learned to use and rely upon it. I can’t imagine how I did without it, simple to understand and easy to read even with older eyes
Love this watch!!! THANK YOU “Garmin”
Great looking watch with the features that I need and ever wanted. It’s strong, durable and it’s easy to set all the features that I use on a daily basis and most of all makes my life easier.
Awesome Tool
I bought this model because I am going back into fitness after a year of illness. The features are more than i expected. I have gone into new interests caused by features
Awesome features!
I have owned 2 instinct series watches and have been very impressed. I purchased the 3 and it is the best one yet. Very impressive features and super user friendly!
Massive upgrade
Bought this to replace my previous Instinct Tactical. The display is 10x better, with increased speed and more detailed data.
Superb battery life
Been wearing the Garmin Instinct 3 for a couple weeks now - haven’t had to charge it yet…
Great watch
I really like the size and color. It is much easier to see than my Instinct II.
Great features
I bought this about a month ago and I like it it a lot
