Description

Forget the delicate smartwatches that need charging every night and careful handling with every move. The Instinct 3 Solar is built to military standards (MIL-STD-810), withstands extreme temperatures, drops, and water up to 100 meters, while its solar charging technology offers autonomy that borders on... infinite.

Solar Charging 2.0

Thanks to the Power Glass lens, the watch uses sunlight to recharge its battery while you are outdoors. If you spend time in the sun, the battery life exceeds the usual levels, reaching even weeks or months without needing a power outlet!

Built-in LED Flashlight

One of the users' favorite features! It has a flashlight with adjustable intensity (and red light) at the top, which will save you while camping, running at night, or if you're looking for your keys in the dark.

      This review is about case size: 45 mm, colour: Black

      The watch is amazing, with open sensors for oximetry and heart rate all day and Bluetooth always on, the battery lasts 20 days. Surely in the summer under the sun this will increase even more. The only thing that disappointed me is the quality of the materials. I had the first instinct years ago and nothing ever happened to it even though I wore it everywhere. This one, just a scrape against the wall and it left a mark, I haven't even had it for long.

      This review is about the colour: Black

      It is my first Garmin watch, I have had it for 6 months, instinct 3 tactical 50mm, and it reminds me of Casio in terms of build quality. The GPS is very good, the sensors are very accurate. Overall, it is a very useful watch, in a category of its own. It may not have maps and you might need to create them yourself with routes or make your own GPX file with tracks, and it works just fine. I have had it at home for 4 weeks because I am in the army and it still has 49% battery. And most importantly, its flashlight—I have used it many times, very convenient. Also, when you have set a route and start, and you are on the correct path, the watch calculates what time you will arrive at your destination. Games and watch faces I have made run well.

      Owner for 4 months. I charged it at the beginning and about 20 days ago, for the second time. Excellent watch, worn a lot at the sea this summer, all measurements flawless, solar charging fantastic. If you leave it exposed to the sun steadily, about 1 hour gives you 5-6 days. Coming from HUAWEI GT2...GT3...there is no comparison. The watch is in a category of its own.

      This review is about case size: 45 mm, colour: Black

      Owner of the Instinct 2 Solar for two years, I bought this particular one from a well-known chain with a return at 340. At first glance, you can tell that the screen has nothing to do with the previous one... completely clear... After a month of use, I can say it charges with solar much faster and the battery drops less daily compared to the previous one... I had complaints about the previous one, now it's ok... I don't see myself changing it for anything..

      This review is about case size: 45 mm, colour: Black

      As an owner of the Instinct 1 for over 10 years, this year I changed and, of course, went again with the same series. The only thing I have to say... Amazing, I've had it for about 4 months, charged it once, it has crazy battery autonomy. Of course, this might be because I cycle and am exposed to the sun daily for about 2 hours, and maybe that's why it lasts so long... I also use it for sea activities... For me, it's the best thing Garmin has ever released...! No glitches or anything
