Garmin Unveils the Instinct 3 Tactical Edition Smartwatch

Garmin has just launched the Instinct® 3 – Tactical Edition, an impressive addition to its lineup of tactical smartwatches. This model boasts a crisp AMOLED display or a solar-powered option designed to maximize battery life, ensuring that users can rely on it during any mission.

Performance Meets Durability

The Instinct 3 Tactical Edition is designed for durability and is equipped with a metal-reinforced bezel, offering enhanced protection for those who are rugged adventurers. Complemented by a fiber-reinforced polymer case and a scratch-resistant display, this smartwatch adheres to MIL-STD 810 standards for thermal and shock resistance. Additionally, it is water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it an optimal choice for outdoor activities.

One of the standout features is the built-in LED flashlight, which provides varying intensities including a green light that preserves night vision, essential for low-light conditions. The Night Vision Goggle (NVG) mode dims the display to ensure that users remain stealthy while wearing night optics, making it perfect for operations requiring discretion.

Tactical Enhancements

Garmin has incorporated specific features tailored to tactical scenarios. Each unit includes a ballistic solutions function (unlock fee required) and is compatible with the Applied Ballistics Quantum app. Furthermore, the smartwatch is equipped with

• - Stealth Mode, which disables wireless communications while still tracking essential data, allowing for operations that require a discreet watch.
• - Kill Switch, which wipes all user memory in case of a security breach.
• - Jumpmaster, designed for users involved in airborne operations, and a dual-position format that displays two sets of coordinates side by side.

Training and Health Monitoring

Users can also take advantage of a dedicated rucking activity profile that allows them to input pack weight to better understand the exertion involved. With the Instinct 3 Tactical Edition, training is made easy with built-in sports apps for a variety of activities such as running, hiking, and climbing. Additionally, there's a range for indoor workouts like HIIT and indoor track running.

* 24/7 health monitoring features include tracking for steps, heart rate, advanced sleep analysis, and even wrist-based Pulse Ox readings, empowering users to maintain peak health. Users can also receive smart notifications for emails, texts, and alerts from their smartphones, adding to the device's convenience.

Battery Life and Navigation

Garmin has outdone itself with the battery capabilities of the Instinct 3 Tactical Edition. With the AMOLED model, users can enjoy up to 24 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, while the solar-powered models can theoretically achieve limitless battery life when utilized properly outdoors. Accurate navigation is ensured with a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, and multi-band GPS with SatIQ™ technology, providing superior positioning accuracy while conserving battery life.

Upcoming Availability

The Instinct 3 Tactical Edition will be available for purchase on April 30, 2025. The suggested retail price for the AMOLED model is $599.99, while prices for the solar charging models begin at $499.99. With an innovative design tailored for life on the edge, Garmin continues to enhance the experiences of adventurers, athletes, and outdoor explorers alike.

Garmin prides itself on developing products that not only enhance outdoor experiences but also facilitate confidence and peace of mind in everyday life, firmly believing that each day is an opportunity to improve and innovate.
