In honor of National First Responders Day on October 28th, Garmin would like to thank firefighters, police, and medics for their service. From putting their lives on the line, responding to emergencies or keeping our communities safe, Garmin understands the toll it takes both physically and mentally.
Be on the lookout for Garmin’s social sweepstakes! Beginning October 28th, Garmin will be giving away 3 Instinct Solar smartwatches on @Garmin and @GarminOutdoor Instagram channels. To enter, tag a first responder who deserves a new watch. Winners will be selected November 1.
