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 metres).

POWER MANAGER
View how various settings and sensors impact your watch’s battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly.

TIDE DATA
Simply by looking at your wrist, stay up to date on ocean conditions to help catch the perfect wave.

SURF ACTIVITY
Record the number of waves surfed, maximum speed reached and distance travelled by using the surf activity profile.

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
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.

"Massively impressed with the SOLAR power potential of the Garmin Instinct Solar Surf Edition Smartwatch, and with the power management functionality you can get at least 20 days without a charge but potentially over 50 days (worth noting that this watch obviously isn't 100% Solar powered). The display is not as capable as some (e.g. Apple Watch, etc) but the functionality does the job for me. I wanted something that I could use to track my surfing, running, biking, etc with a heart rate monitor and didn't need to charge every night so this is bang on for me. It does have all the smart notification functionality for emails, texts, call, etc but I didn't want another device to interrupt my day so have turned that off. The Garmin Connect App is pretty easy to use and it hooks up easily to most of the other activity Apps I use. Overall I think this is a great smartwatch and relatively good value compared to some others and the Garmin does bring a lot of dependable Kudos to the table." JB

And here's a handy video review from DC Rainmaker in the US:

"This is an excellent smartwatch with superb battery life. Its built-in GPS and impressive list of features are likely to appeal to serious sports enthusiasts wanting to accurately track their activities." Which? 2020
