Singapore, 21 January 2025 – Garmin Singapore today announced the Instinct 3 Series, its newest lineup of rugged smartwatches, now offered with a brilliant AMOLED or solar-powered display for maximum battery life. Designed with adventurers in mind, Instinct 3 Series adds a metal-reinforced bezel for extreme durability and a built-in flashlight on every model. And with incredible battery life, it’s easy to explore more; the AMOLED models get up to 24 days on a single charge in smartwatch mode while the solar charging models can get unlimited battery life1.
“With trendy, limited-edition colors and a durable design, Instinct 3 is the smartwatch you can wear whenever, wherever. Packed with connected features, popular built-in sports apps and 24/7 health and wellness monitoring, the latest lineup is built to help you follow your passions—whatever they may be.”

Rugged yet bold
Featuring a metal-reinforced bezel, fiber-reinforced polymer case and scratch-resistant display for maximum durability, Instinct 3 Series is ready for any challenge. The new lineup is also built to MIL-STD 810 for thermal and shock resistance and is water-rated to 100 meters. Plus, a built-in flashlight – now available on all Instinct 3 models – provides variable intensities, a red light and strobe mode to help provide greater awareness in dark environments, like while spelunking in caves, rummaging through a gear pack or telling scary stories around the campfire.
Both the AMOLED and solar options are available in two sizes – 45mm and 50mm—and come in sleek colorways like Black, Black/Charcoal, plus bright and bold colorways like Neotropic and Neotropic/Twilight, that are part of the new, limited-edition Tropical Pulse Collection.
