One Tough Watch!
on September 23, 2025
Posted by: AllanR
I bought this watch approximately six months ago, and it's been amazing! Best watch I've ever owned! Has all of the features I need for my very active lifestyle. It's also tough. On numerous occasions, I've scratched it against something, and there's no noticeable scratch damage to my watch!

I bought my Garmin one month ago the features were easy to navigate and set up. The sleep feature is one feature I started using during the weekdays.

Very Customizable

I am very impressed with the number of activities that can be tracked, and the details and data that can be captured. My intent was to only use this for one activity, but I can see that I'm going to be setting it up for other activities.
The display is very clear, even in bright sunlight. Remembering how to find the different menus takes a little practice, but it didn't take long.

I purchased 2 weeks ago and have been pleasantly surprised with the ease from going to a different model to the Instinct 3. It is super responsive, accurate and has an incredible long lasting battery.

Superior, smart watch in every way!

I bought this to replace my Apple Watch being amazed at the ease of use and how much better it is at tracking individual activities am amazed that some of the features that this has packed into it 10 times what Apple watches got. Completely sold on the Garmin product so much so about the speed sensors for the bike and the scale to round out the training regiment very worthwhile investment.

I was so thankful about this watch and I couldn’t wait for it to get here. It is so helpful. It does so many things. It’s one of the smartest watches on the market and when I say one of the best right now since I’ve worn it now and used it. I can honestly say it is the best the features are great Best Buy ever made

My first Garmin
on August 15, 2025
Posted by: renzodangelo
I can't compare it to other Garmin models, but I can compare it to other commercial sports watches or bands I've had. And definitely, buying this Instinct 3 was my best decision of the year. Robust, masculine, it gives me access to Connect with countless sports statistics that really matter. It's like having a coach in my hand instead of a circus clown. The only thing I miss is being able to listen to music, but the absence of this feature is overshadowed by its other powerful functions. Excellent purchase, I will definitely move on to more models from the brand.
