Engineered For Endurance: Fiber-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 colors, high contrast displays and purpose-built design bring to life a non-traditional smartwatch that turns heads at every glance.
Solar Battery: Variable based on sun-exposure, Instinct can provide unprecedented battery life to those that explore under the sun.
Military Standard 810: Instinct is built to the U.S. military standard 810 for thermal, shock and water resistance (rated to 100 meters).
Power Manager: View how various settings and sensors impact your watch's battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly.
Sports Apps: Use preloaded activity profiles for surfing, swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, strength and more.
Wrist-Based Heart Rate: 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.
Pulse OX: For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox2 sensor uses light beams at your wrist to gauge how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
Stress Tracking: 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: Optimize 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.
ABC Sensors: Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and three-axis electronic compass.
Multi-GNSS Support: Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.
Trackback 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 Comminucation: 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.
