Very Disappointed – Constant Hand Misalignment
on November 4, 2025
Posted by: DDAh
I recently purchased the Garmin Instinct Crossover AMOLED, and I am extremely disappointed with this model. The analog hands constantly fall out of alignment and need manual calibration several times a day. I have updated the firmware, verified time synchronization, performed manual calibration, and even completed a full factory reset — yet the issue continues. I own three other Garmin watches and have always been very satisfied with their performance, which makes this experience even more frustrating. The software and features are excellent, but this specific model seems to have a serious issues. Avoid this model!!! it is worthless

Our product support team would love to look into this for you and see if there is anything else we can do to get the watch hands working as expected. You can contact them Monday through Friday 7a-7p CST at 800-800-1020, option 4 then option 2.

2nd Garmin

My first watch was an instinct solar a few years ago. I gifted it to my son. Absolutely loved the simplicity and function. I currently have the Fenix 8 AMOLED and decided to get the Crossover AMOLED as a second watch. I use it when I’m doing very vigorous activities where I need durability…such as during softball practice, hiking, or biking. I’m loving it!

Very pleased - and actually helps sleep!

Well made, comfortable (even for wearing while sleeping), and I really appreciate the red light on the torch for middle of the night - not only is the red less jarring, but keeps me from grabbing my phone as a light then doom scrolling instead of falling back to sleep. Hands are easy to see, amoled screen shows just enough information, watch looks great with screen on or off. Checks all the boxes, for me, of an all day activity tracker that looks just as fine on a hike or in an office and holds a charge for well over a full week. I suppose one ask would be the possibility of a solar amoled for extended time between charges, but no complaints.

Perfect Watch for me - Instinct Crossover Tactical
on December 30, 2025
Posted by: tomcole12
I have had this watch for a month and couldn't be happier. I had the Instinct Crossover Solar and liked it but it was hard to see information on the face and the hands were very hard to see in the evening and at night. This watch remedies all of these issues. I love analog watches and this gives me the best of both digital and analog world. It also replace a Garmin Marq 2 Athlete and I don't miss that watch with the my new Crossover Tactical.

Instinct amoled

Have the original instinct solar, this is the hybrid I have been waiting for, aligned with the stars. Fits perfectly on a small wrist. I have looked for the perfect watch, this is it a balance of function and form. I am very happy with the end result of this amazing watch.
