Garmin 010-02935-50 Instinct® 3 – 50 mm, Solar, Tactical Edition (010-02935-50)

Garmin 010-02935-50 is the kind of watch you wear when stopping isn’t an option. This Instinct® 3 – 50 mm Solar Tactical Edition is designed for demanding environments, long days outdoors, and operations where reliability matters more than anything else. Think of it as a field partner that keeps going as long as you do.

Rugged Design That Means Business

The Instinct 3 Tactical Edition is built like protective gear for your wrist. A metal-reinforced bezel and fiber-reinforced polymer case give it military-standard toughness for thermal, shock, and water resistance. With a 10 ATM water rating and a 50 mm case, it’s made to handle rough terrain, unpredictable weather, and constant movement without flinching.

Solar Power That Keeps You Moving

Battery anxiety doesn’t belong in the field. Garmin 010-02935-50 delivers up to 40 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, and with solar charging, it can stretch to unlimited power when conditions allow. It’s like carrying daylight on your wrist, quietly topping things off while you stay focused on the task at hand.

Tactical Features Designed for Precision

This watch doesn’t just look tactical, it acts the part. Dedicated tools like stealth mode, kill switch, jumpmaster activity, projected waypoints, and dual-position GPS formats are all built in. Night vision mode dims the display for low-light operations, while the stage timer and rucking activity support mission-specific needs. Garmin 010-02935-50 keeps critical data accessible without drawing attention.

Navigation You Can Trust Anywhere

When direction matters, guessing isn’t an option. The built-in 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, and multi-band GPS with SatIQ™ technology work together to deliver accurate positioning while optimizing battery use. Whether you’re navigating backcountry routes or complex coordinates, this watch helps you stay oriented and confident.

Built-In LED Flashlight for Real-World Utility

A flashlight on a watch sounds small until you need it. The integrated LED flashlight offers variable brightness and strobe modes, giving you quick visibility in dark environments. It’s a simple feature that feels like a multitool upgrade once you’ve used it.

Health and Wellness Awareness

Garmin 010-02935-50 goes beyond navigation and tactics by keeping tabs on your body. Wrist-based heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, Pulse Ox, HRV status, stress tracking, and morning reports provide a clear picture of how you’re holding up. It’s like having a quiet check-in with your body, even during intense schedules.

Training and Activity Tracking Across the Board

From strength training and HIIT to hiking, cycling, swimming, and tactical activities, the Instinct 3 Tactical Edition tracks an extensive range of sports and workouts. Garmin Coach, daily suggested workouts, VO2 max tracking, and recovery time insights help you train smarter, not just harder.

Connected Without Losing Control

Smart notifications, Garmin Pay™, Garmin Messenger™, and safety features like incident detection and live location sharing keep you connected when needed. At the same time, stealth mode and the kill switch give you full control over when to go dark. Garmin 010-02935-50 balances connectivity with discretion.

This watch feels less like a gadget and more like dependable equipment. It’s built to last, built to guide, and built to adapt to whatever the mission throws your way.
