The new Garmin Instinct 3 Solar smartwatch has shown up on Garmin's official site. Speculation around this gadget started back in July when some images of the unannounced model were claimed to leak on Telegram. However, many think that these images were at least partially, if not fully, fake.
Details from the Website
Fitness Tracker Test found the Instinct 3 Solar on a support page for Garmin in Spain, which mentions repair prices for different Garmin devices. A black 45 mm version is listed under the model number 010-02934-00, with a repair price of €133.33. To give you a bit of context, the older Instinct 2 Solar has a repair cost of €128.57, suggesting a potentially higher retail price for the new model; the Instinct 2 Solar 45 mm usually goes for $449.99 but is currently priced at $348.00 on Amazon.
Uncertain Specifications
It's not clear yet if the Instinct 3 smartwatch will come in the same three sizes as the previous model: 40mm, 45mm, and 50mm. There’s a good chance that it will have both solar and non-solar versions, along with a variety of colors, although none of this has been officially confirmed. We are still waiting to see when the Garmin Instinct 3 will be released; some rumors suggest it might launch in early 2025.
