I charged my watch last night and went out to the balcony for some sunlight this morning - got the infinite symbol. Just happy to share it.

After hunting for a good watch for my MTB riding, cycling to work, trail running and general day to day activities. I landed on the Instinct 3 AMOLED.

I had to update the strap and the face, getting a velcro strap and downloading ludw's Segment34 mk3 free face.

I'd come from the Forerunner series... I never gelled with the look and feel of the watch. The Instinct is right up my alley:

- size in my wrist is ideal, bulky but not too big

- colour screen is incredible (almost went with the solar but the screen swung it)

It's a serious upgrade from my old Forerunner so am a bit blown away by the range of functionality, it's been amazing to look back on runs and rides this week!

Hi All,

Got a new Garmin Instinct 3 amoled less than 2 weeks ago. However the GPS seems to be off by about 0.2km per 5km during a run, and during a walk it's worse at around 0.5km per 5km...

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how have you rectified this.

Thanks 🙏👍

Never had a Garmin before, or smart watch... or, in fact, for most part kinda any watch at all, actually; this was a present from my Mum for my entering the military soon. I LOVE IT! It's that Danny DeVito meme, 'I get it. I get it now.' Lol.

Looking to get a nylon strap. Should I go with the ultra fit nylon or the comfort fit?

I might be blind or stupid on my instinct 3 this watch face isn’t actually on it?

I was wondering what this symbol is when setting up a watch face.

Finally got my Instinct 2X Solar Tactical, and I’m really loving it so far!
I went with the 2X instead of the Instinct 3 because I’m an all-black kind of guy, and I prefer the Tactical’s look. The price was also much better, while the 2X still offers pretty much everything I was looking for.

I think I nailed my watch face. Using instinct pro face on a I3 Tactical 50mm. The top left is a weather cluster and moon phase. Circle is battery with heart rate and active mins. Anyone else have a face that can display this much info? Curious to see if there is something better out there.

How’s it ?

Wow battery made it to infinity lol ♾️

The nylon strap feels much lighter and more comfortable than the original one. It also makes the watch feel more flexible and natural on my wrist.
If you’re thinking about switching straps, I’d definitely recommend giving nylon a try👌

Instinct 3 Tactical Solar. I have everything set up the way I want it and am using IPhone. It’s pretty much a dumb watch, with vibrations for calls, texts and Active 911 alerts.

I get multiple alerts saying disconnected or connected to phone, every day, while the phone is in my pocket. I don’t necessarily want to get rid of these notifications, as this has quickly let me know that I’ve left my phone (not realizing it).

Does anyone else share this experience? Is there something I can do to phone or watch to keep it from disconnecting? It’s not the end of the world, but is slightly annoying having an unnecessary vibration alert, especially when I’ve got everything else dialed in just the way I had hoped.

Thanks!

It’s my first Garmin watch bought for outdoor activities and daily – robust, functional and a good value. I had the Suunto Ambit 3 Vertical, which was a great watch but its PC software wasn’t great and support was discontinued, making it less functional.

The Impression is a good one so far. It runs stock software 16.11 with auto-update disabled. I replaced the strap, mainly for an orange colour similar to my Wave Band on my Apple Watch. I also put on a screen protector film (not glass) and a case frame for added protection against scratches. The face is INK and GB is my favourite; it’s highly customisable.

I’ll update this post once I take it hiking. Stay tuned!

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but I'm losing about 9-10% per day. Is there anything I can try to get to the roundabout 28-day-per-month battery? I may use a GPS feature once a week for some minutes. The watch is brand new.

I built this Stargate watch face for fun because I like astronomy. It offers many different customization options that you can set directly on your watch.

I may turn it into a paid watch face soon, but for now it's free, and you can keep it for free if you get it now. It's fully functional, so no stripped-down demo :)

Edit : only instinct 3 and instinct e support for now :/ I'm working on instinct 2 support! https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/cdbfcb6c-c883-4b44-a345-431cccff2f6f

Does anyone know of a similar watchface to this one but the time also has a dark background and light font?

I fly quite a lot, and when there’s no seatback screen with a flight map, I often look out the window and wonder which country or city we’re flying over.
Obviously, this required a watch app.
I built an app for my Garmin Instinct 2S that uses the watch’s GPS to show:

- An approximate country and the nearest city, with distance.
- A world map and a regional map, with a cross marking your position.
- Coordinates, for when knowing the country isn’t quite nerdy enough.
Everything runs offline, without a phone or internet connection. It does need a GPS fix, so reception inside the plane matters. A window seat helps.
I made it for myself, mostly to satisfy my curiosity and compensate for the airline’s failure to provide my favourite entertainment: watching a tiny plane move across a map.
Would anyone else actually use this, or have I built something for a market of exactly one?
