The year-end offers ideal weather for runners to intensify their training plans and adjust workout intensity. To achieve new personal records (PR) and accelerate in major events like the VnExpress Marathon or Garmin Run 2026, owning a powerful, accurate, and durable wearable device is essential for every runner.

As training frequency increases, a watch can help monitor physical condition and optimize competition performance.

Conquer the outdoors with the Garmin Instinct 3 watch

Unlike road running, which prioritizes speed control, trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts demand more rigorous battery life, impact resistance, and durability in all weather conditions.

The Garmin Instinct 3 is a suitable recommendation for these needs. Featuring a premium fiber-reinforced polymer casing combined with a metal bezel, this product offers superior resistance to impacts.

According to Garmin, the Instinct 3's valuable feature is its battery life. The AMOLED version provides up to 24 days of battery life on a single charge in smartwatch mode. The solar version can even achieve unlimited battery life (assuming all-day wear and 3 hours of outdoor exposure daily in 50,000 lux conditions).

In addition to detailed route map storage, GPS navigation, and an in-depth health tracking system, the Instinct 3 also includes a multi-mode led flashlight (including red light and strobe), assisting movement during nighttime, fog, or harsh weather.

Diverse options

Beyond the Garmin Instinct 3, designed for outdoor activity enthusiasts, Garmin's product range offers many options for different training goals.

For road running specialists, representatives from the Garmin Forerunner series, such as the Forerunner 55, 165, 70/170, and 570, focus primarily on speed and in-depth running data analysis. Their slim, lightweight design, sharp display, and metrics like training readiness, training status, and daily suggested workouts help runners precisely control pace and heart rate by the second.

Meanwhile, those seeking trail running experiences can consider the Garmin fēnix 8 Series, a multi-sport smartwatch integrating the brand's leading features.

For 24/7 health monitoring combined with daily fashion, the Venu X1, Venu 3, or Lily Series are suitable recommendations, capable of monitoring body battery energy, sleep quality, and stress levels.

To support the running community during the year-end season, Garmin is offering a 37th birthday promotion from 10/9 to 30/9 on the Garmin Vietnam website. The brand is applying discounts of up to 39% on many product lines. Notably, the outdoor Instinct 3 Series watches will be 20% off.

Customers purchasing Garmin sports devices valued at 5 million dong or more during this period will also receive an exclusive Garmin mini bag gift.

Garmin partners with VnExpress Marathon Hai Phong 2026

Garmin is partnering with the VnExpress Marathon Hai Phong 2026, a race taking place on 27/12 in Hai Phong with four distances: 5, 10, 21, and 42 km. Over its three seasons, VM Hai Phong has been regarded by the community as a "PR hunting ground" due to its cold year-end weather and largely flat course.

As a partner of VM Hai Phong, Garmin will bring its latest watch models for runners to experience. The company hopes runners will find suitable watches, contributing to optimizing their performance in year-end races.
