- Garmin Instinct 3 is one of Garmin’s newest outdoor watches
- A new tactical edition may have just leaked
- A now deleted Instagram post from an influencer revealed a new colorway and tactical branding
Hot from the heels of the new Garmin Instinct 3, and after the unveiling of a brand new descent G2 and Garmin Tactix 8, a new tactical version of the Garmin Instinct 3 is just leaked in full online.
We love Garmin Instinct 3 and it has immediately taken its place in our best Garmin Watch Guide as our top outdoor choice. Currently, there are amoled and solar options as well as Garmin Instinct E. However, eager Redditors have seen new variant leaked by an Instagram influener.
The post from Kristian Hansen describes an experience with the new Garmin Instinct 3 Solar, but as users at Garmin Reddit noted, there is something strange about this one. “Hi guys, I just stumbled this post of someone on Instagram promoting the instinct 3 product on his side,” said the original poster. “But surprisingly, the color is not the same with the one already launched. And if you zoom in on the clock, there is the tactical logo at the bottom of the disc. Is this instinct 3?”
The watch in the position clearly has Garmin’s tactical branding. So what could that mean?

The safest sign that this is actually a leak of a non-release tactical variant of Garmin Instinct 3 is that Hansen’s Instagram post has been deleted since a safe-brand suggestion this clock was sent prior to its time .
As for what a Garmin Instinct 3 Tactical could bring, we have a pretty good idea based on Garmin’s previous form. Garmin’s Instinct 2 had a tactical version that brought all the features of the sun model (as the clock depicted in this leak) in an identical design package. However, it also came with a green flashlight mode, a stealth state that turns off GPS and communication, format with double position to sync your location with others, a ballistics calculator from applied ballistics to long-range shooting, a killing contact to dry that device , a jumpmaster mode for parachuting and a tactical activity profile.
It’s a very similar lineup like the brand new Garmin Tactix 8 that was revealed this week and would be another excellent addition to the Instinct 3 setup.
There is no confirmation yet, but we have reached Garmin and will report back accordingly.
