Garmin Instinct ESports Edition

Garmin today officially launched the Garmin Instinct Esports Edition.

Garmin’s new STR3AMUP!™ PC streaming tool also provides Instinct users the ability to livestream biometric data to their audiences for a new streaming experience. Boasting over three days of battery life in esports mode, users can make the most of their playing time while taking their performance to the next level.

“Elite athletes around the world rely on Garmin products to monitor and improve their performance. With the Instinct Esports Edition, esports athletes can tap into that same technology to track and examine how their body responds to intense competition,” “Players can also use Instinct’s data to make adjustments in their daily lives, whether it be altering sleep patterns or activity levels, which can result in increased cognitive and physical performance during play.” Mr. Scoppen Lin, Director, Garmin Asia.

The Garmin Instinct Esports Edition is purpose-built to military standards (MIL-STD 810), yet its exceedingly lightweight design provides a distraction-free gaming experience. It provides up to 80 hours of battery life in esports mode and up to 14 days in smartwatch mode for less charging time and more time gaming.

The Garmin Instinct Esports Edition’s bold black and red colors, high-contrast display and rugged design bring to life a non-traditional smartwatch. When paired with a compatible smartphone, Instinct also provides smart notifications such as email, texts, and alerts to a user’s wrist so they can stay connected both during and outside of game play.

Prior to a match, users are welcome to select the esports activity on Instinct. Once activated, Garmin’s wrist-based heart rate technology analyzes and displays a user’s heart rate and stress level in addition to the time of day and a game timer. It also actively monitors stress and heart rate in real time. Once a gaming session has ended, users can sync their activity to the free Garmin Connect app to view, store and analyze their data to see how their body would react in different gaming situations.

STR3AMUP! Livestream Biometrics 

When using the esports activity, players can utilize Garmin’s new STR3AMUP! PC streaming tool to broadcast heart rate, stress level and Body Battery™ live and embed this data into their video streams or recordings using customizable overlays. Displaying these metrics allows players to interface with their audience and showcase – in real time – the physical and mental demands of competitive play. STR3AMUP! allows audiences to be further engaged with their favorite player or team. 

  • Wrist-Based Heart Rate – Get heart rate data along with alerts if a user’s heart rate stays too high or too low while at rest, and gauge how hard their heart is working during specific gaming moments.
  • Advanced Sleep Monitoring – Users get a full picture of how they are sleeping with a breakdown of light, deep and REM sleep stages. This allow users to interpret and make lifestyle modifications for more focused play.
  • Stress Tracking – Using Garmin’s heart rate variability, the Instinct Esports Edition can calculate an individual’s stress level score, giving them the opportunity to optimize stress management to conserve mental and physical resources.
  • Body Battery Energy Monitor – Uses heart rate, stress and sleep data to determine how much energy a user has – letting them know when to play and when to rest.
  • 30+ sports apps and robust activity tracking – Users can train with preloaded activity profiles outside the gaming world. For athletes who want to monitor performance even further, an optional Heart Rate Monitor chest strap is available for purchase separately.

Pricing And Availability 

The Garmin Instinct Esports Edition will have a retail price of RM1,399, and it can be purchased from AECO’s e-store, authorised retailers, Lazada, as well as Shopee
