Durable as You Are

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 (water-resistant up to 100 meters). The fiber-reinforced polymer case adds strength and durability, and the scratch-resistant chemically-strengthened display is high-contrast enough to read in bright sunlight. With the added silicone band with breathable perforations, two independent, removable safety loops help secure the watch to your wrist, and also prevent accidental opening of the wrist strap clasp in the field.

GPS You Can Count On

You've never been one to follow the beaten path — that's where Instinct comes in. GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite network capability tracks in more challenging environments than GPS alone. The built-in three-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 the start.

Monitor and Train

Instinct GPS smartwatch monitors your heart rate, activity, and stress throughout the day, so you know how much you can do and how hard you're working to do it. When you're ready to train, we've got you covered with preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming, and more.
