<\/a>Garmin\u2019s Instinct 3 Alpine Rush Collection smartwatches<\/p>\n

The Garmin Instinct 3 Alpine Rush Collection smartwatches will be released in the near future. These four recently revealed wearables are said to be limited edition, with features that include an LED flashlight and a metal-reinforced bezel.<\/p>\n

The Instinct 3 Alpine Rush Collection includes four watches. Two variants have a Sunburst colored casing with a Sunburst\/Gray band: the 45 mm Solar and 50 mm Solar versions of the Garmin Instinct 3. The Instinct 3 45 mm AMOLED is offered in a new Citrine colorway, and the larger Instinct 3 50 mm AMOLED gets a new Fern Green option.<\/p>\n

Aside from the new casing and strap colors, these versions of the Garmin Instinct 3 appear to be identical to the original smartwatches. All versions have a metal-reinforced bezel and a built-in LED flashlight. They offer tools like multi-band GPS, health metric tracking, smart notifications and contactless payments. The AMOLED models have a 24-day battery life estimate with typical use, while the Solar versions with a MIP LCD display can run for an unlimited time thanks to the integrated solar cells.<\/p>\n

The Garmin Instinct 3 Alpine Rush Collection watches will go on sale on March 20th at the brand’s online store. They start from $399.99<\/a>\/\u00a3299.99<\/a>\/\u20ac349.99<\/a> for the 45 mm Solar model; the RRPs match the original versions of the smartwatches. Whether or when they will reach the brand’s official Amazon storefront<\/a> is unclear. You can find a full price list below.<\/p>\n
