Great watch!

I truly enjoy my watch. I transitioned from an Apple Watch to the Instinct 3. However, the only downside is that the elevation feature has stopped working and consistently displays 0. I have cleaned the watch and checked the sensor, but nothing seems to fix the issue.

Tough Watch

I've had my Instinct3 50mm for a few months. So far this watch is performing better than expected over my former Apple Watch Series 8. I needed a watch that was simply better built and tougher than my Apple was. I'm retired and do a lot of farm and ranch work...beats up a watch pretty quick. The ruggedness of the Instinct3 has delivered in every instance (not a scratch yet). The battery life...game over Apple! The display is easy to read in sunlight or shade. I get the same health related data and a little more on my Instinct3 than I did with my Apple. Workout data is easy to view and track as well!! Overall this is just a better product for me than Apple ever produced. Thanks Garmin, well done indeed.

I was looking for a rugged watch I could wear for both fitness and outdoor activities and this has been perfect. Great tracking to help me reach my goals with the fitness tracking and customizable interface and rugged enough to withstand all my activities

The way Garmin raises prices WiFi should be included.

I own a Fenix 7pro solar and wanted the omelet screen screen. I thought I would miss the Maps, but I don't. Great light watch.
