It covers the day-to-day stuff too. You get wrist-based heart rate, activity tracking and phone alerts, so you can keep an eye on stats without pulling your phone out every five minutes. The fibre-reinforced polymer case is built to take knocks, with MIL-STD-810 ratings for thermal and shock resistance, plus water resistance to 100 metres. Battery life is built for long trips, with up to weeks in watch mode or up to 16 hours in full GPS.
There are built-in activity profiles for things like hiking, running, cycling and paddling, so it is ready when you switch plans mid-week. If you want a tough, no-fuss watch that covers navigation, training basics and daily wear, the Instinct is a strong shout. Pick your colour, strap it on, and get moving.
