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

    • Garmin Instinct 3
Size: 45mm Style: AMOLED Color: AMOLED Black
Mi Experiencia con el Garmin Instinct 3: ¡Este Reloj es una Joya! Mire, si usted está buscando un reloj que realmente le funcione en todos los sentidos, que sea un verdadero compañero para el día a día y que aguante lo que le echen, déjeme decirle algo: el Garmin Instinct 3 es una pasada. Yo no soy atleta, soy chef, así que mi vida es entre sartenes, fuegos y el ajetreo constante, y este reloj se ha convertido en mi mano derecha. Lo primero que me voló la cabeza es lo duro que es. De verdad, es una bestia. Está hecho para aguantar golpes, calor, y es resistente al agua hasta 100 metros.[1, 2] Lo he llevado a todas partes, en el trabajo, y ni un rasguño. Es increíble cómo soporta el ritmo sin inmutarse. Y lo mejor es que, a pesar de ser tan robusto, es súper cómodo. Lo llevo puesto todo el día y ni lo siento. La pantalla es otro punto a favor. Se ve perfectamente, incluso cuando estoy bajo el sol más fuerte.[3, 4] No hay reflejos molestos, ni tengo que andar buscando la sombra para ver la hora o mis datos. Además, me encanta que puedo personalizarla a mi gusto, así tengo la información que necesito siempre a la vista. Pero donde este Garmin realmente se luce es en el monitoreo de tu cuerpo. Tiene unos sensores buenísimos, como el de frecuencia cardíaca [3, 4], y puede monitorear una variedad de entrenamientos que ni se imagina.[5] Yo, como chef, no lo uso para correr maratones, pero le saco el jugo a los temporizadores, a los sensores de temperatura y a todas esas funciones que me ayudan en mi día a día. Para mí, es más un rastreador de salud que un simple reloj, y el hecho de que me dé la hora es un plus, ¡un gran plus! Y hablemos de la batería: ¡es una locura! Jamás ha llegado a apagarse. La verdad es que me olvido de cargarlo. Garmin dice que puede durar hasta 24 días en modo smartwatch, y si es el modelo solar, ¡aún más! [3] Esa tranquilidad de saber que no te va a dejar tirado es impagable. El sistema es súper fluido, no se pega para nada. Todo va rápido y sin complicaciones. Y tiene un montón de cosas más que son una pasada: el mapa en posición real (aunque no tiene mapas topográficos, te ubica de maravilla) [3, 4], aviso de mareas, estación de lunas, y un montón de funciones que es mejor que tú mismo te des cuenta y veas todo lo que tiene para ti. Incluso tiene una linterna integrada, que siempre viene bien.[1, 3] Por su precio (que arranca en unos $399.99) [3], les aseguro que vale la pena cada centavo. Si buscan un reloj que sea un tanque, que cuide de su salud y que sea un compañero fiel para cualquier aventura (o para el ajetreo de la cocina), el Garmin Instinct 3 es la elección. No se van a arrepentir. ... show more
