Garmin instinct 3
So I wanna preface this with, I upgraded for the original instinct. I had that watch for 8 years, nothing was wrong with it but it was time for an upgrade. The instinct 3 is everything I loved about the original and more. The MIP display is so much better. It’s easy to use, the buttons were the same as my old one. The great update I got was battery life, going from charging once a week to once a month ( depending on use and solar charging ) the battery lasted a whole 100km ultra with everything turned on. I did debate between the 45mm and 50mm for a while before choosing size but I’m glad I went for the 45. Unless you have massive wrists you don’t need the 50mm. The sizing is great and it’s so lightweight I don’t even notice it. It’s a great watch, does everything I want and more.

Garmin watch.
I've had a few of Garmin watches, they are all great, but I do love this one, for accurate time, and watch faces, anyone who has Garmin watches will know how good they are. ( hopefully 😃).

Not for pacemaker wearers
A generally good watch, which majors on sport and navigation, but with a drawback. It is not compatible with a pacemaker. It cannot provide sleep metrics due to the electrical stimulation of the pacemaker. Had it done so, a 5* rating would have been appropriate.

Boyuta dikkat !
Ürünü anlatmaya gerek yok zaten alacak kişiler özelliklerini incelemişlerdir ancak 50mm boyut gerçekten büyük. Aldım ve tekrar iade şansım olmadığından dolayı mecburen kullanıcaz artık. Alırken bence 45mm olanını tercih edin çünkü bileğim büyük olmasına rağmen bende bile kocaman duruyor. Ayrıca kutunun içerisinden çıktıktan sonra güncellemeyi önce uygulama sonra bilgisayarsan Garmin Express ile yapmanız gerekiyor, yoksa şarj süresi 5-10 gün görünüyor.

WHAT AN AWESOME WATCH
WHAT AN AWESOME WATCH EDIT2: coming back today to update. its now been 3 weeks without charging and it still shows 4 days remaining. EDIT: I just wanted to say that I bought this watch two weeks ago, fully charged it, and put it on. It gave me a battery estimate of 9 days. Today, is day 14 and it hasn't been charged yet and shows 6 days remaining. Awesome battery life, exactly what I needed. I am not outside all that often either, and it is running with heart rate sensor on. When I was younger, always used regular digital watches. They were built tough, lasted a long time, and did what they were supposed to. Then smart watches started to roll out. I ponied up and bought a samsung galaxy watch 4. Didn't take long to realize I did not like using it. There were two major glaring flaws with the smart watch - a display that would shut off and battery life that would barely make it a day. Switched back to a normal watch for a long time after; a solar G-shock. But even that had problems. The watch band started coming off, was replaced, and would keep falling off. The smallest chip in the body where the cheap 1.5mm spring bar went caused irreversible damage. Not to mention, the display was maybe 5 mm, it didnt have any advanced features, and was mainly a clock face dial type. So I started looking specifically for watches with a beefier watch band bar. No more 1.5mm spring cheapo bars for me. The first thing I came across and was serious about buying was the Suunto core all black. I really liked that it used a full-through screw bar. I actually purchased it, but shortly after kept researching and researching. Realized, this might not be the watch for me. Every review, discussion, always brought up the garmin instinct. I didn't want to spend too much, so cost was a major factor in my decision making. Anyway, ponied up the costs and bought this watch, and love it. Solar powered, been wearing it for days and hasnt lost any juice. Has a thicker stronger band bar. Always on display. Beautiful design. Plenty of smart watch features without the battery drain. I am beyond satisfied. Will use it for a long time.
