Instinct 3 – 50 mm, Solar

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

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

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

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,

Congratulations on your Race 2...Nice watchface... Thank you for sharing your insights & experience...How did you find the battery life.. data accuracy & sleep tracking as compared to Garmin...?I am Garmin instinct 2x solar user also evaluating the Race 2...

A lot of the tactical stuff on the Garmin is a gimmick. Even with NVG, I use mono so once I set my nods to a medium distance and try looking at my Tactix 8 my watch is blurry, I also wouldn’t use nods and check my watch. I got the Tactix because it looked very good and wanted an upgrade from my Feni

Not a good competitors, each has totally different purpose. I would not go with Venu, since it is more like a women/city watch. Trex is rugged g-shock like outdoor model. I have both Garmin Instinct 3 Solar 50mm and T-Rex Ultra 2. In general, T-Rex is like a heavy tank, with lovely display, smooth O

The Fenix 7x was my first Garmin I ever got. I got it in Feb 24. Then I got the instinct 3 tactical. I have had some disposable income since and got the Enduro 3 and Fenix 8 solar 50mm as well. I had given the original 7x I owned, the Fenix 8, and the Enduro 3, to some family members to try out for

For the use cases of this user, yes. T-Rex 3 Pro without any doubt. BUT: I had the Instinct 3 Solar 50mm for several months and while I prefer the T-Rex 3 Pro (I have it and I don't have the Instinct 3 anymore), is not that clear. It depends of your use case. I.E: very long expeditions or if you are

I mostly do one-day tracks with my Garmin Instinct 2X. The battery usually gives me about 10 days of GPS activity on a full charge. I always create my own GPX tracks with Mapy.cz, as you can create and export GPX files directly on your phone in the app. The application uses our typical tourist maps,
