This watch does everything I need it to do. I really love the battery life, ability to track my runs, and the simplicity of the watch. But sometimes I wish it had the LED flashlight and touchscreen like other models do. Other than that, it’s pretty awesome.

I’m a pleased Garmin owner. After some 3 years, watch acted up. Contacted Garmin and they replaced at a fair price. I wear my watch in hardcore outdoor training daily.

Love to watch everything about it. If I can make one recommendation, I wish I could choose which notifications I want to go to my watch and which ones I want to stay on my phone That would be the only adjustment. Have a great day.

Almost Perfect Smartwatch

This is my first smartwatch and I am extremely pleased so far. I have purchased Apple Watches for wife and kids and helped set those up. I wish the Garmin apps were easier to navigate and presented better. This could be an unfair comparison to Apple. However, the main apps I have downloaded and installed so far are different watch faces. I love the solar charging option on the phone which has worked well when I am not wearing long-sleeved shirts and the weather is sunny. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is I wish the watch face was easier to read. I wear reading glasses and without them, the watch typically blurry. I assume the Instinct 3 does a better job with this issue but for now, I am really happy with this one overall.

Got this in October of 2024, lasted two hours. Finally got it charged back up and tried to update per Garmin's guidance. Software showed up to date so no fixes on my watch. Still a poor screen, clunky menu, features that work half way. I've never disliked a purchase more and cannot recommend at all. I've had an original Garmin Etrex personal GPS which was amazing and built like a tank. I cannot say the same for this watch. Wish I could rate lower than 1 star.

Difficult to use especially if your right handed, just trying to turn the light on is a challenge, if you mistakenly hit the button next to light you have to start hitting button to get back where you were. If you click on something by mistake your screwed, takes time to get back to clock face. I just have stuck with Vivoactive jus tap and the light goes on. As I'm typing this I'm trying to get back to watch face after hitting wrong button. This is junk to me and a waste of money. I don't even know what it's doing right now.

Junk data

First: this watch does what I absolutely need it to do so I’m happy (running, running workouts, and battery life). I like the look of it, and I like having a stopwatch/timer. However, for swimming laps it’s junk in terms of logging data. I have swam 50 yards and it doesn’t register — literally did a total of 200 and it logged 125. Then it will log a quick dunk under water as 25 yards. I’m also very skeptical of how it’s tracking heart rate—I don’t necessarily think it’s giving me accurate or relevant data. I can’t prove that, just going by how my body feels vs what the earth says. I got it $100 off so for the reasons I really need it I’m happy, but stunned by how poorly it tracks lap swimming.

I had an older model and wanted to move to the newer model. I like the new model it has a couple additional features. It is easier to use maybe because it is a bit faster then the older model. The solar is nice. It extends the life of the battery. Nice to have the latest.

Insane battery life and useful features

I’ve had this watch for almost 3 weeks now and genuinely like it. I haven’t been able to test the solar much but I have seen it charge even during the winter months, which is pretty cool. While it can’t do everything an Apple Watch can do, that seems to be more of a limitation by Apple. For instance, you cannot mirror your focus time back to your watch from your phone. So you have to set do not disturb in both places. I will happily trade some minor inconveniences like this to have a watch that can charge itself and last me three weeks, even if I don’t.

Overall I really like it. Battery life seems good and the features I most want to know about are all on the face and easy to read. It is capable of doing more than I’ll ever need it to, which says a lot about the watch. I also like my heart rate transmits flawlessly to my Garmin bike computer making it nice and easy to read while riding.

I bought this watch about a month ago. I haven't really had time to explore the many features, but I absolutely love the fact that I don't have to charge it every few days even after walking in the woods for hours. Although it is winter, I'm assuming that the sunlight is impacting its ability to recharge. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm not getting any stats on my indoor biking; nevertheless, I am overall quite happy with this watch.

I love that I don’t have to put my glasses on while hiking or snowshoeing the face is so clear to see! It has so much it is a challenge to learn all that one can do but I will get there! What is needed are better tutorials that are a little slower to pick up on.
