Garmin Garmin Instinct 3 Solar Multisport Watch, 50 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.
 

Innovative features
• BATTERY PACK WITH SOLAR CHARGING: Get up to 28 days of battery life in smartwatch mode with solar charging. In GPS mode, get up to 60 hours and up to 260 hours when solar charging. In maximum GPS battery mode, you can stay on the move for up to 150 hours and even indefinitely with solar charging**.
• ROBUST DESIGN: The robust design of the GARMIN Instinct 3 Solar includes a metal-reinforced 45 mm bezel and a scratch-resistant 23 mm display. This way, you can enjoy your adventures to the full.
• BUILT-IN LED TORCH: Different intensity levels and a red safety light give you a better overview when training in the dark and serve as practical lighting if need be. The stroboscope mode can even correspond to your cadence.
• KEEPING AN EYE ON YOUR HEALTH 24/7: Physiological measured values give you information about your health – with 24-hour heart rate measurement, body battery, stress level monitoring, Pulse Ox3**, extended sleep analysis and much more.
