Awesome smartwatch disguised as an awesome looking traditional watch, the best of both worlds.

Innovative mix of analog and digital

Garmin did an excellent job of making a watch with traditional hand movements and a very informative digital background. The watch is not bulky and very light weight. It is durable yet still stylish.

A bit underwhelming

Posted by: Easyrunning
I love the Instinct Crossover for having actual hands for telling time and I like the things that it can track but it seriously lacks in solar charging and it’s not waterproof. I just send my original one back for fogging up in the cold and the brand new (not a refurb) replacement does the same thing. I’m mainly a swimmer and runner but this watch does seem to like water. Also, the solar charging, even under the most intense sunlight, barely changes the battery status.

Great blend of digital and analog
on March 8, 2025

This is my 4th Garmin watch in the past 15 years. Great watches and they survive the abuse I throw at them as a paramedic and someone who trains for and does GORUCK events. Love the analog hands and my only request is for a dedicated second sweep hand. Otherwise loving the new watch.

Happy Instinct owner

I’ve had my Instinct for a year and a half. It’s worked great the whole time. I use it to track paddle boarding and mountain biking. On group rides my Garmin is usually the only one that tracks the whole ride without dropping the ride. Somehow my crystal cracked and Garmin replaced for half the price of a new one. I’m extremely happy with my watch.
