| [24-April-2025] |
Push the limits with two sizes, a rucking activity, AMOLED display, metal-reinforced bezel and built-in LED flashlights on all models OLATHE, Kan., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced the Instinct® 3 – Tactical Edition, its newest lineup of tactical smartwatches, now offered with a crisp AMOLED display or solar-powered display for maximum battery life. Designed for any mission, Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition adds a metal-reinforced bezel for extreme durability, rucking activity for training, and built-in LED flashlight on both 45mm and 50mm units for low-light conditions. And with incredible battery life, it's easy to stay prepared longer; the AMOLED model gets up to 24 days on a single charge in smartwatch mode, while the solar charging models can get unlimited battery life1.
"The Instinct series has proven itself time and again as the ultimate choice for individuals who need an advanced smartwatch they can depend on in any situation. With incredible battery life, an innovative rugged design and dedicated features for your tactical lifestyle, the Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition answers the call and dares to be more." Rugged yet bold Featuring bolted construction with a metal-reinforced bezel, fiber-reinforced polymer case and scratch-resistant display, Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition sets a new standard for durability. The lineup is also built to MIL-STD 810 for thermal and shock resistance and is water-rated up to 100 meters. Plus, the built-in flashlight provides variable intensities, a green light to help protect natural night vision, and strobe mode to assist with location signaling in difficult terrain. For night operations, Night Vision Goggle (NVG) mode dims the display to levels functional to the primary user (including those wearing night optic devices) but nearly invisible to anyone else. Dare for more with these Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition features
Lead the charge Users can navigate confidently with a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter and multi-band GPS with SatIQ™ technology, delivering superior positioning while optimizing battery life. Users can also pair their Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition with the Garmin Explore™ App to review more detailed maps, create waypoints and courses and more to stay on course. In sensitive locations, users can utilize Stealth Mode, which turns off wireless communications but still collects distances traveled and biometric data without recording location data. Leveraging this feature allows the watch to be used – and even upload logged data – while concealing its location, which is typically visible through popular mobile training apps. If security becomes an issue, the watch's Kill Switch wipes the device of all user memory. Other mission-focused features include a dual-position format, which simultaneously displays two sets of coordinates on a single screen, Jumpmaster, a preloaded tactical activity, and projected waypoints. Train for the mission With sports apps like rucking, hiking, running, climbing, hunting, skiing and more, Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition is the ultimate wingman for any training experience. While in-field, TracBack® routing helps provide a route back to the starting point as well as reference points of known spots relative to that location. In addition to built-in sports apps for outdoor adventures, Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition is loaded with apps for activities like HIIT, cardio, indoor and outdoor track running, basketball and more. Users can prepare for the next race, train for a milestone, or strive to improve overall fitness with Garmin Coach adaptive and prebuilt training plans for running and cycling. View an entire week of daily suggested workouts that adapt after every run or ride or create step-by-step workouts from more than 1,600 exercises in the Garmin Connect™ app, then send them directly to the watch. And track intensity minutes, VO2 max and recovery time to receive guidance on recommended recovery times to reduce fatigue and burnout. Safety and tracking features include incident detection (during select outdoor activities) and Assistance, which can send a message with the user's GPS location (if available) to emergency contacts when paired with a smartphone4. Available to order on Garmin.com on April 30, the Instinct 3 – Tactical Edition AMOLED model has a suggested retail price of $599.99 while the solar charging models start at $499.99.
