The Garmin Instinct 3 is a rugged smartwatch designed for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes, featuring a robust build with a fiber-reinforced polymer case and a chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant display. It offers comprehensive fitness tracking capabilities, including heart rate monitoring, VO2 Max estimates, and support for multiple sports profiles. Key features include multi-band GNSS for superior location accuracy, an impressive battery life that can last up to 28 days in smartwatch mode or 100 hours in GPS mode, and the addition of a new 'Training Readiness' score to help users gauge when they're prepared for intense workouts. The watch also supports Garmin Pay, has a flashlight, and includes safety features like incident detection. However, its interface can be somewhat clunky, and while it's not as feature-rich as some competitors in terms of smartwatch functionality, it excels in durability and outdoor performance, making it ideal for those who prioritize these aspects over everyday smartwatch features.
