Garmin GARMIN Instinct 3 Solar Multisport Watch, 45 mm

Follow your instincts!
With the Instinct 3 Solar Multisport watch, GARMIN triggers the instincts of outdoor enthusiasts and athletes alike!  With the third Instinct generation, the US specialist for GPS devices and training control continues to start exactly where many smartwatches fail – in terms of the quality of the housing and display, the intuitive button operation and, last but not least, the battery life.
Thanks to the solar technology, the watch has a partially unlimited battery life under the right conditions. So there really are no more limits to your long outdoor expeditions.

The robust smartwatch with a metal-reinforced bezel and a transflective MIP display (Memory in Pixel) also has pretty much all the technologies you need as an ambitious athlete and adventurer.
From the general health and fitness functions, the integrated LED torch, altitude and heat acclimatisation to the integrated sports apps that can record all your activities, everything is included.

The 45 mm version of the Instinct 3 also impresses in terms of dimensions. It impressively proves that compact design and high performance are not mutually exclusive.
