On Thursday, the company launched the Garmin Instinct Esports Edition, a special variant of its Garmin Instinct watch with several features aimed at gamers.

"With the Instinct Esports Edition, esports athletes can tap into that same technology to track and examine how their body responds to intense competition,” Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of sales, said in a statement.
The cool thing about this watch is that the Garmin Instinct in its vanilla form is a very capable sport watch, with essentially all the same activity tracking features and sensors that Garmin's top sports watches have, including those in the far pricier Fenix series. The Instinct Esports Edition inherits all those features, with a dedicated esports mode on top.

Basic specs include a 0.9x0.9-inch monochrome display covered with chemically strengthened glass, a 10 ATM water resistance rating, and 16MB of memory.

Visually, the Esports Edition is very similar to the original Instinct in black color, the main difference being red accents on the bezel and on the display itself.
Garmin Instinct Esports Edition is available now, with a suggested retail price of $299.99.
