If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.
My short take
The Instinct 3 AMOLED 45mm lasts up to 18 days in smartwatch mode and weighs 52 to 53 g depending on the listing. Garmin lists it at $349.99 now; the launch price was $449.
