Garmin Instinct 3 leaks in early photos following Fenix E and Fenix 8 reveals

Only a few days have passed since a Finnish retailer listed Fenix 7 successors online. To recap, it looks as though Garmin has developed not just the Fenix 8, but also a new model called the Fenix E. While the retailer shared launch pricing and a few specifications about both models, it did outline what either looked like.

By contrast, next to no details about a possible Instinct 2 (curr. $ 309.99 on Amazon) successor are known yet. However, two images that are claimed to be of the Instinct 3 have surfaced online, allegedly from a Telegram group. As such, we cannot verify their authenticity for the time being.

For reference, the the5krunner considers them to be 'faketastic', adding that 'they are, of course, fake - at least in part'. With that being said, all the points that the the5krunner provided to evidence its assertion have been refuted in the comments section of its associated article. Ultimately, it is improbable to tell whether the images below are of an Instinct 3 unit, retail unit or otherwise. Their overall design matches previous Instinct generations though, so we would not necessarily discount them entirely yet, either.
