If a G-Shock and a Swiss Army Knife had a baby, it’d grow up to be Garmin’s latest creation. Meet the Instinct 3, a smartwatch designed for those who’d rather sit by a campfire and smell the rain than endure Monday meetings and air-conditioning.

For gym rats, outdoorsmen and adventurers alike, the Instinct 3 delivers Garmin’s signature efficiency and reliability.

Just launched, the Garmin Instinct 3 is packed with so many features that listing them might sound boring—but trust us, they’re anything but. Here’s what makes it a game-changer:

Solar Power Boost: The new 50mm Instinct 3 Solar offers 5x more GPS battery life with improved solar efficiency compared to Instinct 2 Solar

24/7 Health Tracking: Monitor steps, heart rate, sleep, Pulse, VO² max, HRV and status.

Morning Report: Wake up to a personalised summary of your sleep, HRV status, and day’s schedule.

Smart Notifications: Get emails, texts, and alerts directly on your wrist when paired with a compatible smartphone.

Garmin Messenger: Send and receive two-way text messages right from the watch.

Pay: Make contactless payments at select retailers and transit systems.

Advanced GPS: Multi-band GPS with SatIQ delivers precise tracking while conserving battery life.

Garmin Share: Seamlessly share routes, locations, and workouts with compatible Garmin devices.

The Garmin Instinct 3 is also built to MIL-STD 810 for thermal and shock resistance and is water-rated to 100 meters. Plus, a built-in flashlight – now available on all Instinct 3 models – provides variable intensities, a red light and strobe mode to help provide greater awareness in dark environments, like while spelunking in caves, rummaging through a gear pack or telling scary stories around the campfire.

Yep, the Garmin Instinct 3 is the duck’s nuts and you can buy it at My Deal for under $800.
