Garmin Instinct Range

Meet the Garmin Instinct—the GPS watch built for seriously wild adventures. This isn’t about gimmicks: Instinct comes packed with tried-and-tested outdoor tech. You get trusted GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite support, so your route’s always on the money. TracBack® helps you reverse your steps if you go off-grid, and a barometric altimeter means elevation and weather changes won’t catch you out.

Want real-time stats? The Instinct covers heart rate monitoring, daily activity tracking, and smart notifications from your phone. Its fibre-reinforced polymer case? Pretty much bombproof—meeting military-standard 810 for thermal, shock, and water resistance (down to 100 meters). The battery easily keeps up thanks to smart power management, lasting for weeks on basic watch mode or up to 16 hours in full GPS.

Switch seamlessly between hiking, running, biking, or paddling with built-in sports apps. If you need a watch that’s as tough as your plans and brings the kit to back it up, Instinct is ready. Grab yours and go full send—no second-guessing>
