- Is the Instinct 3 45mm good for swimming?
- Yes. It is rated 10 ATM (100 m) and has pool and open-water swim modes, so it handles laps and showers.
- How long does the battery last?
- Garmin rates it at up to about 18 days in smartwatch mode, dropping with heavy GPS use. Owners report roughly one to two weeks in normal use.
- Does it work with an iPhone?
- Yes. It pairs with both iPhone and Android over Bluetooth, and notifications and activity sync work on either.
- Can I pay with the watch?
- No. The Instinct 3 45mm has no NFC, so Garmin Pay is not available.
- Does it store music?
- No. There is no onboard music storage, so you cannot leave your phone behind for streaming or offline playlists.
