Highlights:
  • This bold, rugged multisport GPS smartwatch is tough enough to keep up with you, and it comes equipped with tactical-specific features, a built-in LED flashlight and solar charging to keep you going.
  • Solar Powered: Solar charging Power Glass lens extends battery life, producing 50% more energy than the Instinct 2 Solar. Go longer with the potential for unlimited solar-charged battery life in smartwatch mode1.
  • Smart Notifications: Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your multisport watch when paired with your compatible smartphone.
  • Built-in Sports Apps: Do whatever you love with preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming, strength training, indoor climbing, skiing, snowboarding, golf, yoga, Pilates and more.
  • Hiit Workouts: This activity profile tracks your HIIT workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and custom. Set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals and more.
  • ABC Sensors: Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and 3-axis electronic compass.
  • Pulse OX: For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist to estimate how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
  • Body Battery Energy Monitoring: Optimise your body's energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you're ready to be active or when you may need to rest.
  • Safety and Tracking Features: If you feel unsafe or if your multisport watch senses that an incident occurred, assistance and incident detection features can send a message with your location to your emergency contacts when paired with your compatible smartphone.
  • Wrist-based Heart Rate: Get heart rate data along with alerts if your heart rate stays too high or too low while you're at rest. Gauge how hard your heart is working during activities.

After manually recording splits during your first loop, you can focus solely on the race from there as splits will be automatically recorded. Then, review your stats after the race.

  • Daily Suggested Workout: View your entire week of daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run or ride to match your performance and recovery as well as the races coming up in your Garmin connect smartphone app calendar.
  • Recovery Time: After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you'll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.
