Garmin Instinct 3

Pros

• If you’ve got the money and you like *chunky watches*, go for the Instinct 3 — it’s rugged, long battery life, great all-around tracking.
• bonus shot but I had a spare loop from my Instinct 3 which fits nicely. Keeps the tail short so doesn't snag on clothing.
• since the 3 is on sale.... pretty sweet value. The others are definitely nicer looking though,
• I am not referring to the fenix 8 pro's navigational capabilities, for that , it is the best there is, just like my instinct 3.
• Instinct 3 is the most readable.

Cons

• Mid price, the best watch of all of them! I2 lacks some capabilities, I don't like I3 at all.
• I'd suggest looking at the Forerunner 255, 265 and 570 and the 955 through 970; at the Instinct 2 and 3, and at the Fenix 7 if price is an object.
• I've had forerunners (255, 955) and an Instinct 3.
• I tried on an instinct 3 and it’s making me want the 7x even more haha
• I've gone round and round the past few weeks from Instinct 3s to 970s to the F7
