The Garmin Instinct 3 is a rugged GPS smartwatch with a 45 mm case and a 1.2-inch AMOLED display. It has bolted construction, a metal-reinforced bezel and a scratch-resistant lens. It is built to MIL-STD-810 standards for thermal and shock resistance and is rated 10 ATM for water.
For navigation, it has a built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter. Multi-band GPS with SatIQ technology provides positioning while optimizing battery life. A built-in flashlight has variable intensities and an alternate red light.
It tracks heart rate, sleep and Pulse Ox around the clock. It is not a medical device, and the data is a close estimation of the metrics tracked. Pulse Ox is not available in all countries. When paired with a compatible Apple or Android smartphone, it shows emails, texts and alerts. Garmin Pay contactless payments work with a supported bank. Battery life is up to 18 days in smartwatch mode.
