Write a reviewGreat Watch - left apple watch i wanted a actual watch feeling like a g-shock and this is pretty close to it you can answer calls a click of a button and also receive msgs the app is also great for runs workout very nice watch
Love This Watch - The first Instinct Solar I picked up from Nest Buy had battery problems. It would only last 4 day no matter what settings I was using. I went ahead and exchanged it at the store. The new one now lasts over 20 day. The watch is very rugged east to read. Would definitely purchase again
Really good watch - Easy to use tons of features and really hood battery life , built in flash light comes in handy when needed would definitely recommend buying.
Great watch - Quite literally indestructible. Survives water, falls, impacts you name it. Connects to outside apps for running convenience too
Fantastic for work - I’m a cnc machinist so that means I’m constantly working with coolant and chips everywhere this watch has survived everything I could possibly throw at it & it has everything you would need out of a smart watch 10/10
very nice watch - i love this watch it’s way better than those smart watches battery lasts forever. i’d definitely recommend it

Battery life and usage - Ive used my watch since day 1 and never looked back 25+ days of battery and has amazing gos capabilities
Surdiness and reliability - For those who are thinking abkut getting this watch I say go for it. Since I boight mine it has come in handy more times than I can count. Where do I start, the flashlight is ideal for those akward positions, the battery life will last you about 2 weeks on a single charge. Plus all the extra features like alarms, find my phone, weather, heartbeat. You name it, this watch will probably have it.
Long menu items - Its takes many clicks to get thru some of the menu items

Good Watch - Battery life is long, is easy to read and keeps me updated with messages and notifications while connected to my phone.
Best in the business - Best military watch, I’ve had multiple watches and this is the one I catch myself wearing everyday
Garmin watch instinct 3 - I like the watch but not the setup seams complicated, glad I got the bigger dial. Watch can do a lot.
