Garmin Instinct 3
What’s Included | Specs | Pictures
The Garmin Instinct 3 is the latest update to Garmin’s Instinct lineup, replacing two of our all-time favorites, the Instinct 2 and 2X. One of the more notable upgrades for the Instinct 3 is its new AMOLED display option, which offers a colorful, vibrant, and more premium feel akin to some of Garmin’s higher-end options. However, if you’re like us and love the solar model’s utility and theoretically endless battery life, the Instinct 3 is still available with this display, along with all the other updates and new features.
At a glance, the Instinct 3 offers an upgraded Multi-band GPS with Garmin’s SatIQ technology, a red and white flashlight function across all models, and Garmin’s Messenger App, which allows you to pair your watch with an inReach device for two-way satellite messaging directly from your watch. We could go on all day about all the other health and lifestyle features Garmin is able to pack in these watches, so for a more in-depth and specific look at individual features, we recommend reading the page below, including the linked resources.
