Purchased the watch a little over a month ago and have only charged it twice although I really didn’t need to as I still had 14 days of charge remaining. Love all the features even though I have not used them all yet. I probably will never use the watch to it’s full potential but it’s great to know what it is capable of doing. Having solar charging available as a backup is awesome as well.

I've been wearing Garmin for years now. Specifically the tactical solar line. The 3 is the best so far. Battery life is great. This watch is packed with a ton of features I may never use them all.

My new favorite watch

I needed a watch for outdoors, one that could withstand several points of shock and this has worked out to be perfect and has solar charging to boot. I also find keeping it on all night to record my sleep. Its so light you dont know its on.

TL;DR Buy it!

This is my fourth Garmin watch. I have an Instinct Tactical, Tactix Delta, and Tactix 7. the Instinct 3 is by far my favorite. Battery life and readability are OUTSTANDING. The Tactix series is totally cool, and I recommend them, but I've found the Instinct 3 Tactical to be way more functional. Not having a touchscreen means you don't have to worry about unwanted mode/display changes in the water, and battery life of the solar variant is unbeatable.

I can’t complain works great what I like the most is that it has a small light on the watch that some times I use for work at night another thing is that it has a strobe light
