Garmin Instinct 3, Solar 45mm rugged GPS smartwatch, Black

After a few weeks, I'm very happy with this watch! I've never had a Garmin device before but this is great. It's rock solid, very well made, fits well, lighter than I expected and even looks fine on my skinnier wrists! (45mm option) I was torn between this, the solar MIP display, and the amoled. The solar MIP was the right choice, 100%, no regrets. It feels retro but tells me everything I need to know. The screen is sharp and super bright, especially in full sun. All that, the battery is amazing and the solar does actually do it's bit in this! It has more activities and features than I will ever likely need, including some that I thought were for the tactical only like rucking, and after using it for a while the GPS accuracy is spot on! The Connect app is free and really good too, loads of detail and plans and workouts etc... I considered the solar tactical too, but for the price difference it didn't make sense. The only real difference is the full blacked out look. The functionality is basically identical unless you are an avid shooter or paratrooper! And honestly, the orangey accent of this one kind of grows on you... The best bits though, all things I didn't even buy it for but have been game changing: - No touchscreen - no accidental touches or trouble in the rain. - No wrist flick - you can just read the display at all sorts of angles and being MIP, it's just always on, like a proper old watch. - The torch - I thought it was a gimmick but I've called on it so many times already for different things! If you are considering this, especially the solar, just do it, you won't regret it. Great watch at a good price point!

So I wanna preface this with, I upgraded for the original instinct. I had that watch for 8 years, nothing was wrong with it but it was time for an upgrade. The instinct 3 is everything I loved about the original and more. The MIP display is so much better. It’s easy to use, the buttons were the same as my old one. The great update I got was battery life, going from charging once a week to once a month ( depending on use and solar charging ) the battery lasted a whole 100km ultra with everything turned on. I did debate between the 45mm and 50mm for a while before choosing size but I’m glad I went for the 45. Unless you have massive wrists you don’t need the 50mm. The sizing is great and it’s so lightweight I don’t even notice it. It’s a great watch, does everything I want and more.

Exactly what I needed and really long battery life

I brought the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar after my Fitbit Sense 2 kept dying randomly through the day. I liked the battery life of the Fitbit and Googled other watches that have a good battery life and I chose the Instinct 3 Solar. I have been wearing it now for 3 weeks and 3 days, my battery level is on 92% - 37 days. During the week I'm in the office so if it sees any natural light it's during the hour I have lunch. On the weekends I'm outside more so it's a little higher. The lowest I've seen the battery is 89%. I will point out that I'm disabled and I do not use every feature of the watch past the walking exercise. The watch is nice and chunky and your not likely to damage the screen by accident. It was on sale when I got it and it was not much more that a replacement Fitbit sense 2 which was £229. So yeah definitely value for money. I do expect to have to charge it at some point, especially in the winter. But if you are someone who is outdoor a lot and active there's no telling how long the battery will last. I didn't think I would every use the built-in light be it's actually really handy! The Garmin app is very good but I have also used the Health Connect setting on my phone to let it also sync with Google Health as that's what I have been used to for the last few years.

An excellent device,one of the best tactical watches on the market,extremely long battery standby,weeks instead of days lots of functions,sports & fitness to long to list I advise to watch YouTube videos on this device as i did that.heloed me choose this watch I'm ver impressed with it

Very good watch, feels well built, battery last a good while, you will get about 38-40 days between charges

Anyone thinking of getting this watch like I was for its ability to be totally private on graphene OS and not link to the Garmin app and use gadgetbridge instead, it works perfectly. Was easy to set up. Dead pleased. Watch is good too.

A generally good watch, which majors on sport and navigation, but with a drawback. It is not compatible with a pacemaker. It cannot provide sleep metrics due to the electrical stimulation of the pacemaker. Had it done so, a 5* rating would have been appropriate.

I liked them, so I’m giving 5 stars, though there are a few flaws. They aren't as super-durable as promised; if you work with your hands and stick them into places an average person wouldn't, the watch can get scratched—though maybe that’s just an issue with the yellow version. Also, the step counter overestimates by 5–10%. And it’s unclear where it gets the weather data from, as it differs from the readings on my phone.And yes, I still haven't had to charge it since the initial charge

Ürünü anlatmaya gerek yok zaten alacak kişiler özelliklerini incelemişlerdir ancak 50mm boyut gerçekten büyük. Aldım ve tekrar iade şansım olmadığından dolayı mecburen kullanıcaz artık. Alırken bence 45mm olanını tercih edin çünkü bileğim büyük olmasına rağmen bende bile kocaman duruyor. Ayrıca kutunun içerisinden çıktıktan sonra güncellemeyi önce uygulama sonra bilgisayarsan Garmin Express ile yapmanız gerekiyor, yoksa şarj süresi 5-10 gün görünüyor.

Dopo qualche giorno di utilizzo posso dire di essere davvero soddisfatto. La batteria è impressionante, il GPS è preciso e tutte le funzioni dedicate ad allenamento, recupero e sonno sono molto complete. L’interfaccia richiede un po’ di tempo per essere esplorata, ma una volta presa la mano è intuitiva. Lo uso principalmente per il powerlifting e per monitorare il recupero, e i dati che fornisce sono davvero utili. Acquisto assolutamente consigliato.

Para un tipo como yo que le gusta el aire libre, acampar, practicar el senderismo, el ciclismo de montaña y la caceria, este reloj es perfecto. No un AMOLED que es precioso, pero poco practico en la soledad del bosque donde la luz fosforescente del AMOLED es un faro en la noche. Les dejo los AMOLED a los mas jóvenes. Es bonito, incluso con ropa casual elegante se ve bien. La pantalla es muy nítida debajo de la luz solar a diferiencia de otras marcas y una vez que leí el manual, memoricé lo que me interesa y automaticamente mi Instinct 3 Solar se convirtió en una herramienta en mi muñeca. La luz roja es muy util y la luz blanca no decepciona al momento de abrir la caja de herramientas en la noche del bosque, poner la llave en el switch de mi motocicleta o en mi 4x4. Yo tengo un navegador por satelite Garmin por años, pero este es mi primer reloj de la marca. Me gusta que sea asi de simple, certero y bonito. Lo recomiendo

Super tevreden over het artikel . Ik had hiervoor een Samsung 7 en kwam geen dag toe met de betaling met dit uurwerk doe ik dagen zonder opladen
