Designed for the Persistent
Fiber-reinforced polymer case, chemically strengthened scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® glass, and a battery powered by solar light are the features of a device designed for the persistent.
Designed for the Daring
Subtle colors, high-contrast display, and a purpose-built design are the characteristics of an unconventional smartwatch that keeps pace with your adventures.
Be Unique.
Solar Battery Charging
Depending on sun exposure, the Instinct can provide the longest battery life yet, perfect for those who love exploring sunny landscapes.
Military Standard 810
Instinct is built to U.S. military standard 810 for resistance to heat, shock, and water (waterproof up to 100 meters deep).
Power Manager
See how various settings and sensors affect your watch's battery life, so you can take steps to extend it accordingly.
Push the Boundaries of Expectation.
Night Vision Compatibility
Switch between day and night mode thanks to a screen that can be read with night vision goggles.
Camouflage Mode
Stay off the radar by enabling camouflage mode to stop sharing your GPS location and disable wireless connectivity and communication.
Dual-Grid Coordinate Format
Synchronize your location with others with the simultaneous display of the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) on the same screen.
Waypoint Projection
Create a waypoint to mark your vehicle's location before you embark on your journey, ensuring you always know how to get back.
Jumpmaster Mode
Calculate jump points in accordance with military guidelines as you navigate to your destination after exiting an aircraft.
Train Smarter.
Sports Apps
Utilize preloaded activity profiles for surfing, swimming, running, cycling, hiking, rowing, strength training, and more.
Wrist-Based Heart Rate Sensor
Gain insight into heart rate data1 and receive alerts if your heart rate is too high or too low during rest. Measure your heart's effort during activities, even underwater.
Pulse Ox Sensor
For acclimation to higher altitudes or sleep tracking, the pulse ox sensor2 uses light beams on your wrist to measure how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
Stress Tracking
Heart rate variability is used to calculate stress levels, so you can see if you're having a calm, balanced, or stressful day.
Body Battery™ Energy Monitor
Optimize your body's energy reserves using data such as heart rate variability, stress, sleep, and other information to assess when you're ready for activity and when you need to rest.
Trust Your Instinct. But Also Verify It's Correct.
Multi-GNSS Support
Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) for tracking in more challenging environments than GPS alone allows.
ABC Sensors
Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer for monitoring weather conditions, and a three-axis electronic compass.
TracBack® Route Creation
With this feature, navigate the same route back to your starting point and eliminate any guesswork about your return path.
Stay Connected.
Smart Notifications
Receive email, messages, and alerts directly on your watch when paired with a compatible device.
Pair for Satellite Communication
Pair Instinct with an inReach® device (sold separately, active satellite subscription required) for location viewing and sending messages, receiving wrist-based weather alerts, and activating SOS alerts to GEOS emergency services for continuous monitoring.
Calendar Display
Easily check your daily plans on a dedicated calendar screen.
