Best smartwatch on the market!

Fantastic build quality as always. Looks sharp and performs, I think, better than any other smartwatch in the market. I’ve owned three instincts before this and they’ve always been great watches. The AMOLED screen elevates what’s already a fantastic watch.
I discover new things about it daily… new uses as I work my way through the various screens….use it for sleep tracking and my daily calendar …and the clock face is ideal for me.
I recently purchased the Garmin Instinct 3 (no solar). I am using this to track my health and training progress. I use the Garmin Connect app to assess my progress. I really like this smartwatch and would recommend it to anyone interested in improving their fitness and health. There are a lot of settings that I've yet to explore but that will come with time.
Bought this a few weeks ago, great for fitness tracking and teams up with Strava great, the only complaints I have, at times when im working we carry some of our tools with us in two hands so it won't pick up my steps unless im swinging my arms like a normal walk which for the day drastically reduces my step count on the watch,,,, and the tracking of food is very easy BUT it would be nice to have a tab on the garmin ap that shows calorie intake comparing to burnt calories to make it easy to see surplus or deficit, other than those couple things I would highly recommend and buy again! Great watch very rugged and easy to use!
Great watch, haven't really used most of the other outdoor tracking yet. Steps are off, but I do use my arms allot. Love the screen. The app connection is excellent. The body metrics are very helpful.
