Harnessing the power of the Sun, the Instinct Solar GPS Smartwatch from Garmin can deliver up to 38 hours of battery life when fully utilizing GPS functionality. When training outdoors with GPS for tracking and routing, you can use three different constellations to maximize accuracy: GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. Rugged and built for the elements, the Instinct Solar features a fiber-reinforced polymer case and chemically strengthened scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass and is built to the U.S. military 810 standard for thermal and shock resistance.
The Instinct Solar smartwatch is also waterproof up to 330', making it ideal for those who like to swim to stay in shape. Keeping fit and healthy is another primary feature of the Instinct Solar, with support for multiple pre-loaded activity profiles, such as surfing, swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, strength, and more. As you work out and exercise, a built-in wrist-based heart rate monitor and Pulse Ox keeps tabs on vital information. The monitor will alert you if your heart rate is too high or too low, and Pulse Ox lets you know your blood oxygen levels at high altitudes, and even as you sleep.
Power Manager
Get the most out of your Instinct Solar by knowing exactly how various functions and settings affect its battery life, letting you make adjustments on the fly if needed.
Stress Tracking
Utilizing your heart rate, the Instinct Solar can calculate your stress level score, giving you the opportunity to center yourself during stressful times of the day.
Body Battery Energy Monitor
Factoring in multiple points of data, such as heart rate variability, stress, sleep, and more, the Instinct Solar smartwatch can gauge your body's energy level, letting you know when you're ready to be active, or if you need to rest.
ABC Sensors
Altimeter, barometer, and compass. Those are the three ABC sensors the Instinct Solar uses to help you navigate. They let you know elevation data, help you monitor the weather, and provide 3-axis electronic direction information.
Tracback Routing
When returning from an adventure, this feature takes the guesswork out of how to get back to where you started from. It simply takes your existing route and guides you in reverse when you want to head back. An ideal feature for those that like to try out new trails or blaze new ones.
Stay Connected
Life doesn't stop when you're in the woods or at the gym. That's why the Instinct has the ability to keep you connected with the outside world, just in case. You can use it to receive emails, texts, and other alerts when paired with compatible devices via Bluetooth.
Calendar View
See your upcoming plans for the day with a dedicated calendar screen.
Supports InReach
When you pair the Instinct with an (optional) InReach product, you can view and send messages, get weather alerts, and trigger an SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team.
Garmin Apps
Supporting both the Garmin Connect and Garmin Explore app, you can gain more insight into your workout stats, track your personal fitness goals, map and track your outdoor exercises, and share that data with others.
