How is it different from the standard Instinct 3?

This version uses an AMOLED display instead of the monochrome screen on the base Instinct 3. That means a brighter, more colorful screen but more frequent charging.

Does it have a touchscreen?

No. The Instinct 3 AMOLED is controlled entirely with buttons, which works well with gloves and in wet conditions.

Yes. It is rated 10 ATM, which covers swimming and showering. Avoid pressing buttons underwater.

Does it work with iPhone?

The listed supported OS is Android. Garmin watches generally pair with iPhones too, but check Garmin's compatibility list for this model before buying.

The watch with its charcoal band and a charging cable. A paper manual is usually included.

Is the Instinct 3 AMOLED worth it?

It is a fair value for a rugged AMOLED GPS watch with 10 ATM water resistance and full tracking. If you want a touchscreen or cellular, a rival smartwatch fits better.

About the Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED Smartwatch

The Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED is a rugged 50 mm GPS multisport watch built around a fiber-reinforced polymer case, a scratch-resistant AMOLED display and 10 ATM water resistance. It tracks running, cycling, hiking, skiing and steps, with heart rate, sleep and calorie monitoring and Bluetooth pairing to Android phones. It has no touchscreen and no cellular connection, so everything runs from the buttons and your phone. Against the base Instinct 3 it trades the monochrome screen for a brighter AMOLED panel and more frequent charging; against touchscreen rivals it gives up swipes for glove-friendly buttons.

Best forRunners and hikers who want a tough GPS watchSwimmers and outdoor athletes needing 10 ATM water resistanceAndroid users who prefer buttons over a touchscreenBuyers replacing an older Instinct or Fenix

Pros

Rugged fiber-reinforced polymer case with shock resistance
