Great
I’m about a week and half into it but has the first Instinct for years. This is a huge upgrade! The Amoled screen is great, so many features. If it keeps performing like the old one you won’t go wrong.

Inaccurate HR readings
HR rate sensor is inaccurate. Shows 90 when strap based monitor shows 150hr on my bike rides. I also had a chance to compare it to two different straps.
Tightening the watch wrist band makes no difference.
It’s essentially a piece of junk I’m returning

Very Happy With Garmin Instinct III
I have had a few Garmin watches in my life including Garmin Instinct, Forerunner and now Garmin Instinct III.
While I have few complaints about the first two the Instinct III is hard to beat for durability, accuracy and dependability. It tracks all of the body metrics that I need tracked and very user friendly. I am not a runner so for runners this may not be the best option but for all others this is a great watch to have as a life trainer.

Sharp Display
Clear sharp display, easy to read. I used the Garmin Connect app to choose a watch face with hour, minute, and second hands. I also went with the red, green and white display colors, making it even easier to read.
The battery life is excellent, about two weeks, and the battery life indicator is accurate. My last watch would indicate nine days of battery life, but only go five.
I use mine at work in the medical field. With some watches, when you wash your hands, it’s hard to get the watch clean and dry without removing it from your wrist. Not a problem with this one.
I also use it to record my hikes. The hikes are fun to look at on the Connect app.
I’m glad I chose this model. After two weeks of ownership I can see no downside.

Must Have
Tools some getting used to compared to the original Instinct, but this thing is incredible. Love the detail and options. Like going from dial up internet to fiber. Massive difference in the best way.
