I had the Instinct Solar & finally after 4 years, I upgraded to the Instinct 3 Amoled & I am thrilled with all of the upgrades and display. Ive got the watch paired with Alpha TT25 dog training/tracking collar & it works great.
So far so good until something goes wrong with it and Garmin dosent repair there own watches and nobody else lane will touch for fear of breaking the seal.
The watch was a gift. The flashlight is useful, and the steps added on the face, rather than me going to the app, was a huge plus. What an amazing watch. The sleep tracking is also fantastic and provides vital info on my health
I love the heath stats like VO2 max but getting a bad sleep score might ruin your day like mine. I never cared about bad sleep until now but if you don’t focus on it, it won’t matter. GPS Accuracy is insane. I use a wahoo bike computer with a speed sensor and this watch was 1 mile more accurate than the bike computer. This watch is AMAZING!! Would definitely recommend, especially if it is on sale.
I feel like sleep score shames me on how poor I sleep and as a result it keeps getting worse. Watch is fine but would consider returning as the time feature and other Heart rate features I could get in different way
I purchased the Instinct 3 a month ago. I really like the simplicity of the functions. The home face display is very convenient. It displays my steps, altitude, heart rate, time, temperature, sunrise, sunset and battery status.
