About the Garmin Instinct

Ken Nail

A tough watch for tough environments

If your work takes you outdoors and into tough working environments, Garmin had you in mind when they designed the Instinct. It's built to the demanding U.S. military standard 810G, guaranteeing protection from shock, thermal stress, and water pressure. The reinforced polymer case is strong and durable, while the chemically-strengthened display is bright and scratch-resistant. A vented silicone band is comfortable enough for all-day wear.

A tough watch for tough environments

If your work takes you outdoors and into tough working environments, Garmin had you in mind when they designed the Instinct. It's built to the demanding U.S. military standard 810G, guaranteeing protection from shock, thermal stress, and water pressure. The reinforced polymer case is strong and durable, while the chemically-strengthened display is bright and scratch-resistant. A vented silicone band is comfortable enough for all-day wear.

Ready for adventure

When you're not working, Instinct is primed to tackle all your outdoor adventures: running trails, bombing a descent on your mountain bike,  or grabbing your pack for a multi-day expedition. And it's ready for the water too, with a 100-meter rating and functions for lap swimming or open water training and racing. Instinct features a full range of tools to track your running, biking, and swimming, plus activity tracking features like step counts.

Trail-ready

When you're on the trail, Instinct 5 drips virtual breadcrumbs along the way, creating a tracklog you can retrace if necessary. You can take advantage of waypoints you've recorded on previous trips, so you'll be sure to find that special campsite the next time around. The watch's memory can store up to 1000 waypoints, so you can record trail junctions, water sources, scenic vistas, campsites — any location you want. Instinct also comes equipped with an altimeter, barometer, and compass, giving you valuable information you may need in the backcountry.

Heart rate monitoring for a training edge

If you really want to improve your performance, the evidence is clear that heart rate monitoring is an essential tool. Instinct employs wrist-based heart rate monitoring, so you're always able to tap into this vital metric. Here's the skinny — your body responds to exercise intensities differently, so you need a blend of both workouts to balance your training, and heart rate monitoring is one of the best ways to keep track.

Smart and connected

Garmin's smart notifications work with your smartphone to let you receive texts, emails, and alerts on Instinct's screen. And this watch automatically uploads your workout to Garmin Connect, where you can share it with your friends through social media or many popular fitness-tracking apps.

    Product Research

    Features

    Overview: The Garmin Instinct rugged GPS watch is built to withstand tough environments. Constructed to U.S. military standards, Instinct can keep up with your active lifestyle. It has a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, and multiple global navigation satellite systems. Instinct also has the Garmin Elevate wrist-based heart rate monitor to help you analyze your workouts and fitness levels. Instinct comes in three color styles: Red Flame, Tundra, and Graphite.

    Physical Attributes: Instinct features a rugged 45mm diameter, fiber-reinforced polymer bezel and outer case, and a scratch-resistant, chemically-strengthened glass lens. The 0.9" x 0.9" monochrome display has a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels, and is easily readable in bright sunlight. The QuickFit 22 silicone watch bands are interchangeable without requiring a special tool. Additional bands, in multiple colors and materials, are available directly from Garmin.

    • Dimensions:
      • Watch: Width 1.85", Height 1.923", Depth 0.631"
      • Band: Width 0.862" (22mm), Length 10.125"
    • Weight: 1.83 ounces

    Durability: Instinct is a rugged, reliable outdoor GPS watch that meets the U.S. military standard 810G for thermal, shock, and water resistance. Its 10 ATM water rating means it can withstand depths of up to 100 meters.

    GPS: Instinct utilizes three global satellite networks to give you the most accurate location data, and faster position acquisition, even in the most challenging environments. It relies on GPS (Global Positioning System), as well as help from the GLONASS (Russia), or Galileo (Europe) global satellite navigation systems. In the menu, you can choose GPS alone, GPS + GLONASS, or GPS + Galileo. Using GPS and another satellite system together reduces battery life faster than using GPS alone. In addition, Instinct has a 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter. The device keeps track of the route you take, and the TracBack feature takes you back to your starting location along the same route.

    Activities: The watch can be used for athletic and fitness activities, both indoor and outdoor. Profiles are available to help plan and maximize your workout or activity by providing time, distance, laps, steps, courses, calories burned, and other metrics along the way. Outdoor recreation profiles include: running (road and trail), hiking, climbing, mountain biking, road biking, skiing, snowboarding, XC skiing, stand-up paddleboarding, rowing, kayaking, swimming (open water and pool), and tactical. Indoor activities include swimming, indoor biking, treadmill running, and indoor track running. Instinct can also monitor your sleep, including total sleep time, periods of restful sleep, and periods of movement.

    Elevate Heart Rate Monitor: Instinct is equipped with the Elevate wrist-based heart rate monitor, which monitors your heart rate, even if you are not wearing a chest strap. You can view your heart rate on the screen any time you are wearing the device. If you are wearing a separate chest heart rate strap, the unit chooses the chest heart rate data. Instinct can broadcast your heart rate data to other paired Garmin devices, such as an Edge bike computer, or VIRB action camera.

    Heart Rate Zones: Heart Rate Zones measure cardiovascular strength, and are used by athletes to evaluate their level of fitness. Knowing your heart rate zone is helpful in improving your fitness. Using your user profile information (gender, age, height, weight, etc.), Instinct determines your default heart rate zone (numbered 1 through 5). During your workout or activity, the device shows your current heart rate zone and a percentage of your maximum heart rate. The harder you work, the higher the zone you achieve.

    Smart Features: Instinct provides many smart features that can be used every day. With built-in Bluetooth, your device can easily be paired to your iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet, using the Garmin Connect mobile application. While paired to your smartphone, you can receive notifications of phone calls and messages on the device. Instinct can access your calendar, receive weather data, and control the music on your smartphone. If you misplace your phone, you can use Instinct to locate it if it's currently in range. Likewise, if you have lost your Instinct device, you can locate it using your smartphone.

    Rechargeable Battery: Instinct is powered by a built-in Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, which will give you up to 16 hours of battery life in normal GPS mode with wrist-based heart rate, or up to 40 hours in the UltraTrac GPS mode with a one-minute polling interval (w/o HR). When not training, you can use the device as a digital watch for up to 14 days on a single charge. A 21" data cable/charging cradle is provided for charging the battery and uploading your training data.

    ANT+ Sensors: The device can be used with wireless 2.4 GHz ANT+ add-on sensors, such as an optional chest-based heart rate monitor, speed/cadence sensor, or foot pod. Instinct cannot record wrist heart rate data while swimming, so you will need to use a chest strap monitor, such as Garmin's HRM-SWIM.

    Watch Functions: When you're not working out, Instinct can be used as a basic watch, displaying the time and date, along with an alarm and stopwatch. The time is automatically set by the GPS receiver (or manually, if desired), and can be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour format. The device can also provide local sunrise and sunset times.

    VIRB Remote: If you have a Garmin VIRB action camera, the device can be used as a remote control. The camera commands for stopping and starting recordings and taking still photos are sent wirelessly via ANT+.

    Instinct can access your calendar, receive weather data, and control the music on your smartphone. This watch can work to control the music playing from your phone, but does not have the capability to play music on it's own. Chat with an Advisor online or by phone, they'll be happy to help you out with any other questions!
