Dissatisfied Definitely dissatisfied. I got my watch June 10, It worked really well through training and most activities but I recently did a 24 hour endurance run and after around mile 70 it continued to lose GPS tracking and would randomly turned off and back on, despite the battery percentage was still at 70. Definitely was a big-time inconvenience in a serious race that meant a lot to me. It was a big-time let down because the watch have been working so well.

Battery life is miles ahead of the 2 Solar. The solar on the 2 left you wondering if it did anything at all. I’ve had this watch for a month now, logged multiple GPS activities and am still at 45% battery having never charged it. Around 3-4 hours in the sun and you gain that days worth of battery easy. The upgraded features are great. After purchasing the 3 and watching “should I upgrade” videos on line I was wondering if I made a mistake. Not at all. If you want more run features and far more battery life but still like the instinct platform, the 3 is well worth the upgrade. Could not be happier

Got my watch a couple weeks ago. I charged it one time. I’ve been out in the sun a couple times. Right now the watch battery says 61%. I would’ve had to charge my old watch at least three times by now.Not a lot of color in the watch mostly black-and-white. But if the battery lasts a long time.So far, so good!
