Conquer every terrain with the Garmin Instinct 3 45 mm Solar, a purpose-built GPS smartwatch that blends military-grade toughness with advanced smart features. Its 0.9-inch sunlight-readable display sits beneath a metal-reinforced bezel and scratch-resistant lens, ensuring durability in the harshest environments. Whether you’re trekking alpine passes or navigating urban jungles, Multi-Band GPS with SatIQ™ technology delivers pinpoint positioning while intelligently optimizing battery life.
Featuring an integrated solar charging lens, Instinct 3 extends your outdoor adventures indefinitely—enjoy unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode when sunlight is available¹. The watch continuously tracks your heart rate, Pulse Ox³, stress levels, respiration, and more to provide 24/7 health and wellness insights. Start your day with a personalized Morning Report that combines sleep recovery, HRV status, daily schedule, and weather, or launch Hearing Snapshot and Health Snapshot sessions to capture two-minute health summaries you can share with your provider.
Never be left in the dark with the built-in flashlight: switch between high-intensity white LEDs to light your path or a red-light mode for preserving night vision. Receive smart notifications² for calls, texts, and app alerts right on your wrist, and use Garmin Messenger™ to reply on the go. Safety features—including incident detection and LiveTrack⁶—automatically share your real-time location with emergency contacts. With Garmin Pay™ and Connect IQ™ app support, you can make contactless payments, customize watch faces, and download apps and widgets without missing a beat.
