Garmin is really good in terms of after sale support, they replaced my Instinct 2X tactical for free due to a loose vibration motor.

I have instinct 2x solar for a year now and it took a lot of abuse without any serious damave on it. Only few minor scratches and sometimes I am using it rebuilding cars. Also 30+ days of battery life and the flash light may sound gimmicky but is very handy in a lot of occasions. I am a G sbock fan

That’s awesome! I did the same as well and haven’t looked back, had the AWU3 and switched to the Garmin Instinct 3 Tactical AMOLED

Kupio sam garmin instinct 3 solar 50mm i mogu ti rec imam samo pozitivne komentare. Ne moram ga punit nikad jer dobiva dovoljno sunca da se napuni 3-4%posto na dan i ima sve sto sam trazio od mjerenja treninga do spavanja, otkucaja srca, kalorija itd. Preporucujem instinct 3

I’ve spent a good amount of time with the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar (50mm), the Fenix 7X Pro Solar (which I ended up selling), and currently the Tactix 8 AMOLED. Out of all of them, the Instinct 3 Solar is honestly the one I find myself appreciating the most for real-world use. The 50mm size is perfec

Had the same problem on a 2s, worked fine for a year, one day suddenly the battery decided to give up when the night before it was over 50%, did it again on the next charge and so on... contacted garmin support that told me to reset the watch, obviously didn't help so they sent me a new Instinct E,

I still occasionally use my Instinct 2X, but with the Instinct 3 practically being identical upon release and the price of Garmin watches increasing I figured now was a good time to explore other options and switched to Amazfit. I got the T-rex 3 Pro 44mm and so far it has been doing a good job for

I own the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar (50mm) and a Tactix 8 AMOLED (47mm) and I love both watches. Been wearing my I3 solar more cause it’s more comfortable and lighter weight when I’m training, racing, or just for daily wear/sleep. If you upgrade the I3 Tactical is unnecessary unless you just want an a

Nice review :) I have to agree, because I am also very surprised with my T-Rex Ultra 2. Also coming from Garmin, for last year I have been using Instinct 3 Solar 50mm. Ultra 2 has 26 mm so I put my Garmin Ultrafit nylon 26 mm strap and it is so comfy now. Otherwise I agree with points you are mentio

I would caution against the Garmin instinct series. I have the instinct 2, and have been in a 3 month debacle with Garmin about the warranty, all while a good friend has the instinct 2X solar is also constantly in a warranty cycle with Garmin. I previously had a forerunner 935 and had no issues unti
