The Garmin Instinct 3 is one heckuva good-looking smartwatch, and right now, the limited edition ‘Sunburst’ version has dropped by 25% over at Amazon<\/a>. If you don’t want the striking limited edition model, the regular black version is also discounted by 25%<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n

And wouldn’t you know, Father’s Day is right around the corner<\/a> \u2014 so this could make the perfect Father’s Day gift for your dear old Dad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ll admit straight up that I’m a G-Shock guy, so the chunky and rugged design of the Instinct 3 really appeals to me. My colleague Dan Bracaglia had the pleasure of reviewing the Garmin Instinct 3<\/a> and proclaimed it might just be the ultimate smartwatch for outdoor enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

There’s 100 meters of water resistance, and battery life that varies from 18 days on the non-solar AMOLED 45mm version to 24 days for the 50mm model in standard smartwatch mode.<\/p>\n

If you’re using GPS tracking, you still get an impressive 68 hours of battery from the smaller model and 86 hours from the larger one. To put that in context, the Apple Watch Series 11<\/a> is rated for 24 hours of use in smartwatch mode or 8 hours with GPS tracking.<\/p>\n

And if you don’t want the AMOLED screen, this watch also comes with a Memory in Pixel (MIP) display version that offers you solar charging.<\/p>\n

One of the extra features \u2014 that’s since been copied by others \u2014 is the hidden LED flashlight tucked into the case. This little design element is likely to come in very handy if you’re working your way along a trail after dark and forgot to bring a flashlight.<\/p>\n

We’ve already got our Garmin Instinct 4 wishlist<\/a> ready for the next generation of this watch, but in the meantime, the Instinct 3 is hands-down one of the best adventure watches you can buy. And with a cool $100 knocked off the asking price, this is the deal to grab before you plan your summer camping trip.<\/p>\n
