Garmin has confirmed the successor to the extremely popular watch. What did he reveal?

• Garmin is preparing a successor to the highly popular Instinct 2 watch
• He listed the Instinct 3 model (by mistake) on his support site
• At least one version will offer solar charging

Garmin is obviously working on successors to the highly popular Instinct 2 model. It is still one of the most popular sports watches in the Czech Republic, which is probably due to the combination relatively affordable prices, durable construction and a number of handy functions. The company (apparently unintentionally) confirmed the new model on its website.

In Spanish website Garmin support, which describes the repair prices of individual smart watches, found a mention of the black 45mm version of the Instinct 3 watch with solar charging support. The server pointed it out first Fitness Tracker Testbut the fact is that no one has removed the mention yet. So we can refute that it would be a forgery, since we ourselves are witnesses of this mistake.

Garmin Instinct 3 could theoretically come in three different sizes, namely 40mm, 45mm a 50mm (however, only the middle one has been confirmed so far). The Fitness Tracker test portal also estimates the price – the 45mm Solar variant could cost approx 400 euros (10,100 CZK in conversion)while the 50mm Solar version can be priced at 450 euros (CZK 11,400 in conversion).

However, on the repair site, Garmin lists a higher amount for the Instinct 3 Solar watch than for its predecessor. The repair of the new model is said to cost 133.33 euros, while in the case of the Instinct 2 Solar it comes out to 128.57 euros. The difference is of course absolutely minimal, but in theory it may be an indication of a higher final product price.

Exactly when the Garmin Instinct 3 will hit the market remains unclear. Although their alleged photos appeared on social networks already in July, the situation has not changed much since then – that is, until today. However, even the current leak does not directly signal an early launch.
