About the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar Tactical Edition

The Garmin Instinct 3 Solar Tactical Edition is a 50 mm rugged GPS smartwatch built for field and outdoor use, with solar charging, a black finish and multi-sport tracking including swimming. It pairs over Bluetooth with Android and tracks steps, sleep and calories, with battery life rated up to 5.7 weeks. Its plastic case, metal-reinforced bezel and 10 ATM (100 m) water rating meet U.S. military thermal, shock and water standards, and it adds tactical tools: jumpmaster mode, stealth mode, projected waypoints, a kill switch and dual-position GPS formats. Multi-band GPS with SatIQ, a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter and a built-in LED flashlight set it apart from the standard Instinct 3; against pricier Garmin lines it gives up onboard storage and cellular connectivity.
