First off, apologies for some photos being a little blurry. I was battling my phones camera, but some are pretty good. Please know the display is extremely clear and crisp with vibrant colors and fun transitions from various screens. YouTube has plenty of reviews, but I paid my own money for all my Garmin watches. Tactix 7 Pro Solar, Epix Pro AMOLED, and this 50mm Instinct 3 AMOLED. I love those two others, but this Instinct 3 AMOLED called to me due to its cool factor and its build character harkining back to my former Ironman and G-Shock days, but with modern smartwatch luxuries. It just looks "cooler" to me than the smooth and sleek top tier models I also own. Additionally, I just love watches and collect a select few brands with mechanical movements among the majority. This Garmin Instinct AMOLED 50mm is extremely light weight. It's actually lighter than the heavy duty strap I show in these photos. Left in it's original offering, you may forget its on your wrist until it notifies you about your newest Amazon delivery.....maybe another watch....😁 I found I wanted the AMOLED screen for it's highly enjoyable bright and colorful display and I already have an MIP screen on my Tactix 7 Pro Solar. I was honest with my usage with maps and determined I basically never use them, so the lack of maps didn't matter to me, and again I already own other options. It does all the fitness tracking under the sun and has incident detection for many activities that most users would logically want to have. The LED flashlight in either mode is very usable and plenty bright. It seems to be, from memory, at least as good as my other two. It has the red/orange/green shift feature like other more expensive models and this feature is programmable for sunset and sleep timing for either color or a mix. The buttons feel quality and tactile with a felt click when interacting with them. It does not have a touch screen, but I like that. My other two do and I disable it on both. I don't use the touchscreen for anything but manipulating maps and as stated above, that's rare. This watch has no maps to move around the screen, so a touchscreen doesn't add value or cool factor for me, and the price reflects this. Any quick attach/detach 26mm watch band will fit this watch, to include any of the ones for my other two Garmins mentioned above The charger port is along the band attachment point in this model. This may seem inconsequential, but it isn't. This allows the port to be in open air in the gap from the bottom of the watch and the lugs where the band connects. This allows it to dry and not be subject to constant skin produced wetness and keeps the charging/data transfer contact from being against your skin. This results in less irritation for the wearer and longer service life of the plug port. I could go on and on, but my thumbs are getting annoyed with me typing on my phone. This is a great heavily featured Garmin for a price that seems to make sense to me. It could be your first and only Garmin for long time unless you are a watch fiend like me. If your looking to go Garmin but don't want to spend $600 plus, you need to consider this model. The solar model is likely as good with potentially endless battery life (claimed by Garmin), but it won't be as pleasant to interact with. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk! ... show more

    • He wears it every day — battery life is amazing!
Color: AMOLED Black Size: 45mm Style: AMOLED
My husband wears this watch all the time and absolutely loves it. One of the best things about it is the battery life—it lasts a long time and doesn’t need to be charged often, which is super convenient. It’s durable, looks great, and is perfect for everyday use or outdoor activities. Definitely a solid smartwatch if you want something reliable without constantly worrying about charging! ... show more

    • Incredible Watch!! Incredible Watch!!
Color: Neo Tropic Size: 45mm Style: AMOLED
Review Image by Lauren Kanet
I bought the Instinct 3 as my first smartwatch, though I have used my wife's apple watch for weeks at a time in the past. I have used G-Shock watches for years before buying this one. I sprung for the AMOLED display after looking at a friend's solar version and I'm very glad I went with it. So far, it has proven to be very durable, even through various types of workouts, both in and out of the gym, as well as at work as a firefighter. It tracks a ton of useful metrics as far as health and training efficiency goes. I am currently using it to about 60% of what it is capable of and it has already made a big difference in my training and recovery. I also have loved the flashlight or "Torch" feature it has. Red light and 4 levels of brightness. WAY better than my wife's Apple watch. This is an actual flashlight! I also look forward to using the GPS and tracking functions when backpacking season hits again. I bought the 45mm, and for sizing reference I'm 6'1" and 200lbs. The 45mm seems to be about the same size as my G-Shocks. I think I could have gone up to the 50mm and been very comfortable but I'm happy with the screen size and since it's not a touch screen, I don't think there would be much advantage to a larger screen other than for the aesthetics of a larger, heavier watch on your wrist. ... show more

    • A Very Cool Fitness Watch!
Color: Neo Tropic Size: 45mm Style: AMOLED
This is my first Garmin watch, and I'm really impressed with it. It's really good looking with a huge "cool" factor. I got the 45mm amoled in the tropical style, which fits my 6 1/2-inch wrist perfectly. I appreciate the advanced GPS, though I wish there were maps on the watch itself. Otherwise, it does everything I want out of a smart watch. I use my phone to view a detailed map during navigation. The display is bright and colorful. The sleep and fitness apps are very accurate and easy to use. It knows when I've been sleeping and it knows when I'm awake. After wearing this watch I became a Garmin fanboy. ... show more

Color: AMOLED Charcoal Size: 50mm Style: AMOLED
If you need a tough watch that provides a lot of data then this is the watch for you. It is great for tracking most of your physical fitness and cardio related information. The Garmin community is very supportive and you have a wide selection of apps and functions that are easily accessible. The battery charge lasts for up to a month depending on how you use the watch, and it recharges very quickly. ... show more

    • Haven't came off my wrist since I bought it.
Color: AMOLED Charcoal Size: 50mm Style: AMOLED
The Garmin Instinct 3 (50mm) has been a great everyday watch. The screen is bright and easy to read, the battery lasts forever, and it feels tough enough to handle hikes, gym days, and everything in between. It doesn’t have full offline maps or music, but if you want a rugged watch with solid tracking and great battery life, this one is hard to beat. ... show more

    • Advertised as new and they sent me a used one
Color: AMOLED Charcoal Size: 50mm Style: AMOLED
Garmin watches are great! One star review is about Amazon. I purchased this watch and it worked just fine. The reason I gave a one star review is because Amazon advertised this watch as NEW and they sent me a clearly used watch. The sticker that ALL new Garmin watches have on the screen was missing, the watch smelled like men’s cologne, there were clear marks of wear on the band, and the box was dirty and beat up. It was obvious the box had been opened and closed several times. Needless to say I returned the watch and bought it again somewheres else. ... show more

    • Needs more work done
Color: AMOLED Black Size: 45mm Style: AMOLED
I really like the GARMIN instinct, IMO the instinct is the perfect watch and I like how they have improved each next gen, but I'm not so sure about the AMOLED approach. Whiles it looks nice, it reduces the battery life significantly (you still have planty of battery life) but waking up the screen when tilting the wrist didn't always work for me and it was ultimately the reason why I returned it. The MIP screen is way better imo and with solar capabilities, it makes the battery life last almost indefinitely, making the instinct 3 Solar, a perfect watch. ... show more
