Instinct™ Tactical Edition

BUILT FOR THE MISSION. DESIGNED FOR ENDURANCE.
You forge your own path, so we forged the Instinct Solar GPS watch to keep up every step of the way — no matter how far you tread.

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.
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.
Subdued color, high contrast displays and purpose-built design bring to life a non-traditional smartwatch that can follow wherever the mission takes you.
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 meters).
View how various settings and sensors impact your watch’s battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly.
Switch between daytime view and night-time view with a screen designed to be read by night vision goggles.
Go dark by enabling stealth mode to stop storing and sharing your GPS position and disable wireless connectivity and communication.
Sync your location with others by seeing both the universal transverse mercator (UTM) and the military grid reference system (MGRS) on the same screen.
Always know the way back — create a waypoint to mark the location of your vehicle before you start your trip.
Calculate high-altitude release points according to military guidelines while navigating to your objective once you’ve jumped.
Use preloaded activity profiles for surfing, swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, strength and more.
Get heart rate data 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.
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.
Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.
Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and three-axis electronic compass.
Take the guesswork out of your return journey by using this feature to navigate the same route back to your starting point.
Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with a compatible device.
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.
Easily see your plans for the day with a dedicated calendar screen.
