Garmin has released the Instinct 3 Crossover AMOLED, a new version of its hybrid smartwatch that features a vibrant AMOLED screen. This refresh blends the classic durability of the Instinct series with a bright, full-color display, improving readability while keeping the analog hands that fans love. The launch also signals Garmin’s commitment to the Instinct Crossover line, despite previous reports of condensation issues with earlier models.
Enhanced Display and Durability
The new Instinct Crossover AMOLED introduces several key upgrades. The most prominent addition is a full-color AMOLED display, which sits beneath the traditional analog hands. These hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® for excellent low-light visibility and can dynamically move out of the way to provide an unobstructed view of data and notifications.
For added toughness, the watch is now protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire lens. It also features RevoDrive™ technology, which automatically calibrates the analog hands to ensure they remain accurate even after shocks or impacts.
Ready for Any Adventure
Designed for the outdoors, the Instinct Crossover AMOLED is packed with features for adventurers. It meets MIL-STD-810 thermal and shock resistance standards and has a dual-layered metal bezel. Navigation is handled by multi-band GPS with SatIQ™, which provides reliable positioning even in difficult environments.
Additional features include a built-in, dimmable LED flashlight for nighttime visibility and advanced lifestyle logging. Users can track habits like caffeine and alcohol intake to see their impact on sleep, stress, and heart rate variability (HRV) through the Garmin Connect app.
Tactical Edition and Pricing
For those requiring specialized features, a Tactical Edition of the Instinct Crossover AMOLED is also available. This version includes a stealth mode, compatibility with night vision goggles, and an applied ballistics solver. It comes exclusively in black and is priced at $749.99.
The standard Instinct Crossover AMOLED boasts a battery life of up to 14 days in smartwatch mode (or 18 days in battery saver mode). It is available now in charcoal and bronze/sunburst colors, with a retail price of $649.99. With this update, Garmin has solidified its position in the hybrid smartwatch market, proving that a rugged build and stylish design can go hand-in-hand.
