Description
Garmin developed the Instinct GPS watch to fill a price point and technology void for Outdoor users who also participate in many other fitness and health activities, but who didn't really need a Fenix-level watch. The Instinct has a much simpler and limited display, but in a much more rugged package that appeals to people who prefer to use buttons over a touchscreen and want features, not frills. At $300 the Instinct is packed with useful and desired features and set-up for true outdoor use as well.
When you can rely on Instinct, the world can rely on you. This rugged, reliable outdoor GPS watch is built to the U.S. military standard 810G for thermal, shock and water resistance (rated to 100 meters). The fiber-reinforced polymer case adds strength and durability, and the chemically-strengthened, scratch-resistant display is high-contrast enough to read in bright sunlight, so you can take it with you into the extremes you face every day. Plus, the fully vented silicone bands include two independent, removable keeper loops to ensure a secure fit and to keep you from getting caught on things.
If you’ve never been one to follow the beaten path, Garmin can relate and that’s where Instinct fits in their world. GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite network capability tracks more accurately, in more challenging environments, than GPS alone. The built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter help you keep your bearings. Take the guesswork out of your return journey by using the TracBack feature to navigate the same route back to start.... Read More
