Much improved screen over FENIX, overall very good

Much better watch than my FENIX 6, which apparently had a LAMO-LED screen. This one is much brighter. The basic “clocks” (clock faces) are pretty good. Much better than the two after market I tried. Seems like the FENIX had more options to change the data fields than the Instinct. I prefer analogue watch faces but the data field options in the factory and purchased options were very limited. However, I am overall very satisfied with it. Previously, I wore my FENIX only for runs or hikes. Now I wear the Instinct pretty much all the time.

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 for tracking activities and improving!

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 like the watch but found that navigating to use fitness stuff is tough
