Instinct 3 45mm Solar

i got myself an instinct 3 around 2 months ago.while i am happy in general with this purchase (my first watch since i am a kid, and it really helps me being consistent), i am a bit frustrated with the software side of garmin. around 3 times i had huge drops of battery power withing just a few hours.

The 2x is heavier and that can impact data. There will also be software limitations as Garmin is still updating the I3.

I have the same problem today. From time to time the connection drops and I can't reconnect. The only thing that helps is reconnecting to the phone via Garmin Connect, like the first time I connected it. Instinct 3 Solar, 10 days after purchase, firmware version 10.36.

Hmm yeah, I checked all the links people commented and all the complaints people have made about their battery are exactly the same as mine. I saw some people fixed it by installing an earlier software so will try that. FYI: I contacted Garmin support and their only response was that they couldn't d

I was the first person to report this bug on the Garmin forum. But Garmin hasn’t even responded to the post! This watch has had many issues since launch and it’s still unfinished.

If you take a Fenix 7 Pro or Fenix 8 Solar, then the move is good. But the Instinct 3 Solar is a bad model (take a look at it storage 128Mb storage which could be a problem for System upgrade) Otherwise, i personally switch from Fenix 7Xss to Coros Nomad, it's a perfect price/feature product. This t

Can this be done at any stage over the air? I have only a work laptop that won't allow access to Garmin express. I have i3 solar 50mm stuck on 5.21.

I just wanted to share my experience (FIXED). I was in the same boat - new I3 Solar with firmware 5.21 out of the box. Actually my Software version was 0.00, and Host version was 5.21 on the watch. None of the advice online helped:- on the watch and in Garmin Connect there was no option to 'Check fo

I have an i3 and an android 13 phone. I've given up trying to keep them connected. Garmin Support can't figure it out either. And yeah, the initial pairing almost always failed. That took forever to work. I think it is a clash of power-management strategies that I cannot (figure out how to) override
