Incredible watch
The Garmin instinct 3 solar is an incredible watch, I had the instinct tactical before which I absolutely loved so I’m over the moon with this upgrade. The battery is so much better now, always love the fact these are water resistant. The accuracy on the Garmin gold is brilliant. Very rugged and durable design and easy readable in any light. A fantastic watch overall

So far so good.
Been using this for a week and so far so good. The step counter seems to be less sensitive than my Fitbit and the same walks do not seem to be as far. Been using it for 5 days and still plenty of battery life left. Looks good. Was a bit anxious about the 50mm face as was wanting a 45 but when I measured my wrist diameter needed the longer strap. As it is the watch face isn’t too big and I could probably have managed with the smaller strap. Shame that Argos cannot retrospectively give you the nectar points with Sainsbury’s so ensure your account is linked before making a large purchase.

Garmin professionalism over Fitbit amateur status
Upgraded to Garmin after ten years wearing a Fitbit (Charge series)… The Garmin makes the Fitbit seem like a mere amateurish effort by comparison (which took a dive even further when Google bought-out the Fitbit brand). So, yes, I’m more than happy with the Garmin, and I’m sure I don’t even know a quarter of what it can do.

Fantastic piece of kit
Bought this watch back in June after many years with a Fenix 5S. Ive worn it in the gym, on runs, swims, hikes and just as a daily wear. Today is the second time Ive charged it. Amazing piece of tech. For me the MIP is simple and screen ultra readable which i prefer over the AMOLED version.

Battery life : Anaximg
Distress purchase as my Garmin 735XT died after six years. Still getting used to all the features but the battery life is amazing - despite using the watch for GPS activities it’s still got 12 days battery left seven days after its last charge

Amazing piece of kit
Have had some cheaper smart watches in the past, and as they say you get what you pay for. This watch seems to cover every activity you could think of, was sat in sun for a day and battery increased by 4% in smart watch mode. Battery life seems amazing considering I spent the first day setting up and going through the many menus and settings to get things how I wanted and working out what some things actually did! Think it only used around 3%. Obviously if you are going to use it for tracking exercise the battery will drain a lot quicker.
