Not great

Scratches easily, battery life was terrible. Added nothing of value over the instinct 2x, which I bought after selling my 3.

Second Instinct

This is my second Instinct. The improvements from the original watch are night and day. The battery life is incredible. Even using the GPS it lasts as advertised. The amoled feature really makes it easy to read in any light. The light feature is very handy and I use it much more than I ever anticipated. Great watch!!

so much better than the Apple Watch

I've had this watch for a good 4 months now and I'm loving it. It's been a great companion on long hikes as I don't ever have to worry if the battery will die out, instant glance I can see my pace, time, how far I've hiked, and my heart rate. It allows me to save the hike and eventually share it on my Garmin profile online. The battery lasts foreverrrrr. FINALLY, I don't have to charge it every night and I actually get to record my sleep.

Got it for my anniversary in march, an i must say it’s WAY BETTER than the Apple Watch. I had many issues with the apple giving me any readings. I have had zero issues out of it and I work with it on all day in a body shop. I would recommend anyone that’s rough on things, this watch is the one!
