You’ve never been one to follow the beaten path — that’s where Instinct comes in. This rugged GPS watch was built to withstand the toughest environments.
Features:
-
Military standard 810: Instinct is built to the U.S. military standard 810 for thermal, shock and water resistance (rated to 100 meters)
-
Durable case and display: The fiber-reinforced polymer case adds durability, and the chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant display is high contrast and sunlight readable
-
Purpose-built bands: Fully vented silicone bands include 2 independent, removable keeper loops to ensure a secure fit and to keep you from getting caught on things
-
Battery life: Internal, rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, up to 16 hours in GPS mode and up to 40 hours in UltraTrac™ battery saver mode
-
Multi-GNSS support: Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone
-
ABC Sensors: Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and three-axis electronic compass
-
Tracback® routing: Take the guesswork out of your return journey by using this feature to navigate the same route back to your starting point
- Wrist-based heart rate: Enhanced optical heart rate technology gauges the intensity of your fitness activities without the need for a chest band
-
Stress tracking: Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day
-
Built-in sports apps: Use preloaded activity profiles for running, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and more
-
Smart notifications: Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with a compatible smartphone. You can even respond to texts if you have an Android™ phone
-
Pair for satellite communication: Pair Instinct with an inReach device (not included; active satellite subscription required) to view and send messages, get weather alerts on your wrist and trigger an SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team
