Great and worth it

I went with the 50mm Amoled version after having the Instinct 2 for two years. I use it to track all of my workouts and also have the Garmin chest strap that works well with both watches. I highly recommend it

Great Upgrade

I had some time ago purchased an original Instinct when they came out. I mostly used it for monitoring HR, Stress, and paired it to my Garmin 500 Pro plus to track dogs. I also used it for reading notifications. My one problem with the old instinct was it was getting hard for me to read it especially in low light and while driving.
I upgraded to the Instinct 3 Amoled 55mm due to its bright color display which makes it much easier to read. I also find navigation of menu and options easier.

Great device to record your physical activity and to help you get in better shape. The Instinct watch and the free Garmin Connect app work together to give you helpful information. I bought this watch about a month ago and it's taken me some time to learn all it's features, but it was worth it. I am not a trail runner or cyclist, so I wanted someting to help my conditioning for hiking. Not only do I track my hiking, walking, and gym activities, but the watch and Garmin Connect app give helpful hints about my sleep behavior, my conditioning and my recovery. Unlike other apps, no subscription required for Garmin Connect. Thanks Garmin for such a great product.

I bought this watch about a month ago. Prior to this watch I owned an apple watch which in my opinion isn’t a option for a very active athlete. Prior to that apple watch I owned the instinct 2 solar the only problem with that watch was that I couldn’t see the screen very well as I am 57 years old. I can’t tell you of how much I love this instinct 3-50mm AMOLED. Very easy to operate , very advanced to keep track of my daily workouts and extremely accurate in “add a manual workout” It will tell you the calories you’ve burned, etc. The watch is extremely durable as well.

Love it! Trying to learn all it can do, which is a lot. I went from a iWatch to this. iWatch had to charge each day, hated that. Not I get 24 days on the Garmin. My daughter has had Garmin watches for years. She kept trying to get me to move to Garmin, she was right, best watch I have had
