DO WHAT YOU LOVE, LONGER
Instinct is a GPS smartwatch built to break convention, conquer the elements and endure longer. It's now taking battery life to a new level by harnessing the power of the sun.
Specification
- Experience unprecedented battery life with solar charging.
- Military standard toughness lets you play rough without worry.
- GPS, GLONASS and Galileo. Your 3 best friends in the wild.
- Train smarter with built-in sports apps right on your wrist.
- Get notifications straight from your phone to your wrist.
- Do more. Charge less. Get up to 54 days in smartwatch mode.
ENGINEERED FOR ENDURANCE
- Fibre-reinforced polymer case, chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla glass and a battery powered by the sun creates a device that's built to endure.
- DESIGNED TO BE DARING
- Bold colours, high contrast displays and purpose-built design bring to life a non-traditional smartwatch that turns heads at every glance.
- Variable based on sun-exposure, Instinct can provide unprecedented battery life to those that explore under the sun.
- Instinct is built to the U.S. military standard 810 for thermal, shock and water resistance (rated to 100 metres).
- View how various settings and sensors impact your watch's battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly.
- Use preloaded activity profiles for swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, strength and more.
- Get heart rate data1 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, even underwater.
- For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist to gauge how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
- Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you're having a calm, balanced or stressful day.
- BODY BATTERY ENERGY MONITOR
- Optimise 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.
- MULTI-GNSS SUPPORT
- Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.
- ABC SENSORS
- Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and three-axis electronic compass.
- TRACBACK ROUTING
- Take the guesswork out of your return journey by using this feature to navigate the same route back to your starting point.
- SMART NOTIFICATIONS
- Receive emails, texts and alerts right 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) to view and send messages, get weather alerts on your wrist and trigger an SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team.
- CALENDAR VIEW
- Easily see your plans for the day with a dedicated calendar screen.
