  • excellent upgrade from Instinct Solar 1
Size: 45mm Style: Solar Color: Solar Black
This was an upgrade from Instinct 1 solar. The battery on it started draining faster after 4 years. This one is better in every respect. Things that I really like: 1) GPS is vastly better: locks on much faster and is more precise, 2) battery life seems to be better, particularly in the sun (it seems to be using the solar function more efficiently), 3) sleep score and HRV monitoring are nice additions; 4) I think it also syncs with Garmin Connect on the phone much faster; 5) the band is better. I wasn't sure about case styling at first (with those orange accents) but it grew on me and I like it now. Overall, very satisfied with this upgrade. ... show more

  • Garmin vs Apple
Size: 45mm Style: Solar Color: Solar Black
I have been a dedicated long-distance runner for over a decade, with numerous full and half marathons under my belt. For years, my trusted training partner was my Apple Watch Series 8. I ran with it, trained with it, and trusted its data implicitly—until a swim session caused it to fail. After getting it repaired at a local shop (since Apple does not repair them), I decided I needed something more durable and made the switch to the Garmin. I have only had the Garmin Instinct 3 for a week, but the difference is a total game-changer. I ran my usual park route, and the results were shocking. On the same 50-minute run, the Apple Watch logged 5.2 km, while the Garmin's multi-band GPS recorded a much more accurate 7.3 km. You can see the difference in the images—the Garmin's tracking is spot on, while the Apple Watch's GPS shows me running off-track, which I wasn't. This massive discrepancy made me question how much my past training data might have been off. Ultimately, this experience has made me re-evaluate what I truly need in a running watch. While the Apple Watch is a fantastic piece of technology with features like ECG, noise level, and stock tracking, etc. for serious training, those are often just distractions. I have hardly used them in the past two years, realizing they were more for novelty than utility. Here are the key differentiators for me: GPS Accuracy: The Garmin's multi-band GPS is a massive leap forward, providing a level of precision that is essential for analyzing training data. Durability: The peace of mind that comes with a rugged, purpose-built device is a huge relief. I am no longer worried about my watch failing during a key training session. Function vs. Features: While I miss the ability to take hands-free calls on my watch, I have realized I don't need all the "tech" features that come with a smartwatch. The Garmin focuses on the core functions I need as an athlete. For me, the Garmin Instinct 3 has proven to be the better tool for the job. Its accuracy and durability are far more valuable to my training than any smartwatch feature. ... show more

  • Great solar watch!
Size: 50mm Style: Solar Color: Solar Charcoal
Love this watch! Love the look and functionality! I have always been more of a g-shock watch wearer, and dont like the look of an apple watch. This was the best of them, has a rugged basic look plus all the smart watch capabilities. I love the fact that its not a bright screen, keep me basic please! Battery is great, I wear it all day and night tracking sleep. I throw it on charger maybe once a week for about 30 minutes when I havent been outside much. ... show more

  • Best MIP watch. Compared with Instinct 2, Coros Pace 3, Suunto 9 Peak Pro & Vertical
Size: 45mm Style: Solar Color: Solar Black
My priorities for a smart watch: 1) long battery life that I can use to track week-long backpacking trips. 2) a display that I can ALWAYS read. I don't like waiting for a display to light up; I don't need colors. 3) something that doesn't need to be charged often so I can sleep with it for my morning alarm and sleep tracking. My previous watch was an Amazfit Bip S (with a MIP display). It recently died after 4 years of use. I was looking for more to replace it. I compared 5 watches with MIP displays: Garmin Instinct 3 Solar and 2 Solar, Coros Pace 3, Suunto Vertical and 9 Peak Pro. The Garmin Instinct 3 was noticeably better than the Instinct 2: a crisper and more reflective display, better solar charging, snappier response (I noticed a little bit of lag switching screens sometimes), and that torch! Feature-wise and software, they looked identical. I think it wouldn't be worth upgrading from the Instinct 2, but since I was replacing a watch, the improvements in the Instinct 3 are worth the price difference. I wasn't going to go cheap if either Garmin was better than the others. (The Fenix is beyond what I want to spend.) The Instinct (both 2 and 3) is a cut above the Coros or Suunto in several ways: 1) while the display is smaller, it had a more reflective display that was easier to read in any light. Both 2 and 3 are more reflective than the others actually. (See attached photo.) 2) while the Garmin watch faces are not as pretty or even in color, almost all of the display fields on the watch face can be customized. I spent a while looking for watch faces for the Suunto and Coros with the fields I want and never found the "perfect" one, but with the Instincts, I could just select the data I want and place them on the screen. 3) the activity data screens are also very customizable with lots of options to choose from. I couldn't do this as well with the Coros and Suunto. I didn't realize how much I appreciated having customized fields and screens for hiking vs biking vs running until I could. 4) solid battery life, solar charging 5) thoughtful/useful features: lap stat announcements to your BT headset, shortcut to power saving mode, unusual tracking modes like expedition and area calc, double function of each button - short vs long press, a double-tap shortcut for the torch Otherwise, all five watches had similar features: activity tracking galore, sleep tracking, alarms and timers, stopwatch, compass, altimeter, barometer, etc. 2nd place: the Coros was the most visually appealing of the set. The Instincts have that rugged chunky look and a smaller monochrome display, while the Coros was sleek with an attractive display (for MIP). Although they were all "45mm" watches, the Coros had a lower profile on my wrist, and through a trick of design, it looked like it had a smaller bezel. (It wasn't.) Data fields were displayed in BIG readable fonts during activities. The scroll wheel and two buttons was probably the most fun interface to use. Scrolling and zooming is quite nice with a scroll wheel. The Suunto Vertical is very similar to the 9 Peak Pro. I got my hands on both. I don't think it is worth the 2x price difference so I only compared the 9 Peak Pro with the others. ... show more
