Features

Solar battery

Variable based on sun-exposure, Instinct can provide unprecedented battery life to those that explore under the sun. View how various settings and sensors impact your watch’s battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly.

Tactical features

This watch has numerous features for tactical use. Enable the stealth mode to stop storing and sharing your GPS position and disable wireless connectivity and communication. The Jumpmaster mode designed for professional skydiving calculates high-altitude release points according to military guidelines and helps navigate you to your objective once you’ve jumped.

Dual-format GPS coordinates and built-in topographic maps offer unparalleled situational awareness. Always know the way back — create a waypoint to mark the location of your vehicle before you start your trip. You can easily switch between daytime and nighttime view with a screen that can be read by night-vision goggles.

Reliable navigation

Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone. Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, a barometer to monitor weather, and a 3-axis electronic compass. Take the guesswork out of your return journey by using Trackback Routing to navigate the same route back to your starting point.

Train smarter

Monitor your body and train smarter. Get estimated heart rate data along with alerts if your heart rate stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. Gauge how hard your heart is working during activities. Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see how much your boss pisses you off.

For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist to estimate how well your body is absorbing oxygen. Optimize your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep, and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest. You can also select preloaded activity profiles for swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, strength, and more.

Live connected

Receive emails, texts, and alerts on your watch and easily see your plans for the day with a dedicated calendar screen when paired with a compatible device. Pair Instinct with select inReach^® devices (sold separately; 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. Easily see your plans for the day with a dedicated calendar screen.

Extremely durable

Instinct is built to the U.S. military standard (MIL-STD-810G) for thermal, shock and water resistance (rated to 100 meters). With a fiber-reinforced polymer case and chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass, this device is built to endure. The strap is made from silicone.
