Garmin Instinct 3 45 mm Vert

I like the Instinct series. I've bought and used two over the years. Unfortunately if you bicycle, use an elliptical, or use a treadmill, the watch will not measure your heart rate accurately. You can start exercising for up half an hour, and the heart rate will be same as if you had never started. Then suddenly it will show an increased heart rate that is often 50% higher than actual. I have compared my Instinct to an iwatch and machine mounted heart rate monitors and the outcome is always the same. Garmin even admits the problem by saying that you should 'warm up' 10 minutes before exercising. Way too optimistic and even then it shows an inaccurate heart rate.

I replaced my aging Forerunner with this. What an incredible watch. If you want a garmin that you don't have to charge every 2 days and has a g shock type of feel then this watch is perfect for you. Be warned the 50mm is HUGE. I'm used to it now but I was shocked when I first got it.

Probably the best investment I have made in my health in terms of a watch! Absolutely insane features and function with Garmin quality and backup

Saved up and made the best decision. Watch Came as advertised/described, works brilliantly and accurate with all activities. I love it!

Excellent watch at an affordable price!! battery life exceeds expectations!!
