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

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.

Break the mold.

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.

Train smarter.

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.

Trust your Instincts. But also confirm them.

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.

Stay connected.

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.
