Garmin Instinct 3 45mm AMOLED

The Instinct 3 watch features a stunning AMOLED display. Its health and wellness features, combined with Garmin’s solid background in sports watches, make it a great companion for daily use, especially for those who incorporate training into their routine.

The watch’s physical build is quite robust. With a 45mm case, it falls within the mid-range size for smartwatches, making it a great fit for many users.

The morning report provides insights into sleep, recovery status, daily calendar events, and heart rate variability (HRV)—the latter being a strong indicator of your body’s condition. It helps determine whether you’re ready for a new workout or if additional rest is needed for full recovery.

The watch suggests workouts based on your fitness level and recovery status, with a dynamic training calendar that adapts to your pace of recovery.

With Garmin Coach, you can train for your next cycling or running event or competition.
