More: Garmin Instinct 3 Review – full and detailed
It looks like Garmin Instinct 3 will be the next new Garmin watch.
This time, Garmin PERU has confirmed the existence of the non-Solar model of the new Instinct 3. This follows yesterday’s leak from Garmin Spain confirming the solar model.
There is nothing new to note here besides confirming both SOLAR and non-solar versions.
For more information see yesterday’s post I will keep updated with new information as it emerges.

Looks like some auto generated content on the Garmin website with all permutations. There is no non-solar version of the 2X and yet it is listed as an option.
nice point.
nevertheless, the Instinct 3 leak is on two garmin websites so it’s definitely real.
