What You're Getting

The Instinct 3 packs a 1.2-inch AMOLED display inside a 45mm fiber-reinforced polymer case with a metal-reinforced bezel. You get multi-band GPS with SatIQ for accurate positioning that adjusts to save battery, plus a 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter. The built-in LED flashlight has variable intensity and strobe modes. Battery life hits up to 18 days.

Health tracking covers wrist-based heart rate, sleep monitoring, and Pulse Ox.

Who This Is For

Best for: hikers, trail runners, and outdoor workers who need a GPS watch that can take abuse and doesn't need charging every week. Also a solid option if you want an AMOLED screen without jumping to the Fenix price tier.
