ItвЂ™s also waterproof to 100 metres and shock resistant, which IвЂ™d take over a colour screen in an emergency situation any day of the week. The limited screen colours presumably go a long way to helping extend battery life as well as removing any unnecessary functions that you probably donвЂ™t need on a long hike in the wilderness. That may sound like a negative, but if you want something thatвЂ™ll provide you with information to get from A to B when youвЂ™re hiking across a mountain range, then thatвЂ™s exactly what you need. ItвЂ™s clear and does the job, but itвЂ™s essentially just a very simple 128 x 128 pixel, monochrome display that gives you a no frills, information providing experience. In reality, the screen is similar to an old-style dot matrix screens found across the majority of digital devices in the 90s. The sole comparison between the two is almost entirely based on the fact that theyвЂ™re both dual colour digital watches вЂ“ in the same way that a Rolex and a Timex both have analogue models. Saying that the Instinct is Casio-esque is actually a bit unfair to the celebrated Casio design.

The one (large) silicone strap that comes with it fits comfortably and makes wearing it 24/7, even while in bed, relatively painless. Weighing in at at 52g and featuring a 45mm casing, the Instinct is fairly unnoticeable when it's on your wrist, especially against some of the chunkier options out there like the Fenix, or some of the models Suunto has to offer in the outdoor watch realms. Aside from that initial choice, thereвЂ™s little more design customisation you can make to the watch save for the addition of Quickfit straps. The Instinct comes in three colours: flame red, tundra and graphite (pictured). Multisport tracking (running, cycling, swimming, hiking, skiing and more).45mm watch with interchangeable 22mm straps.So it's more affordable than Garmin's top end rugged watch, but it's by no means cheap either.ДЄlso check out our review of the new Garmin Instinct Solar, which increases battery life with solar panels in the screen. Sitting in between the Vivoactive and Fenix ranges, it's priced at $299.99. I'm talking things like course navigation, the ability to import GPX routes and including Garmin's great TrackBack feature. Unsurprisingly, this hardcore outdoor aid places a big emphasis on features that should come in handy when you're trekking or hiking. There's a barometric altimeter to measure elevation when you're climbing up mountains, a heart rate monitor and a promise of battery life that will go the distance. There's GPS along with GLONASS and Galileo support to offer plenty of mapping coverage.

The full Fenix 6 series now also includes wrist-based heart rate measurement and pulse oximetry to measure blood oxygen levels.The Garmin Instinct is a rugged outdoor sports watch that comes from the same wearable stable as Garmin's Fenix range.Д«uilt to withstand the toughest of elements, the Instinct has all the usual skills you'd expect to see from one of Garmin's outdoor-friendly watches.

ThereвЂ™s in-built ANT+, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity to peripherals such as a power meter and to your phone and computer. Rock climbers can also get metrics for indoor climbing sessions that include the number of routes climbed, vertical distance, difficulty and climb time. If your interests extend beyond cycling, thereвЂ™s also a new Surf activity profile that tracks your surf time, total time, total waves ridden, maximum speed and longest ride. Garmin has now extended this, and both the standard Fenix 6 and Fenix 6 Solar feature MTB-specific вЂGrit and FlowвЂ™ metrics, which rate how difficult a trail is and how smoothly you descend. The Fenix 6 series already has a wide range of sports profiles built-in, including ClimbPro which tells you how far up a gradient youвЂ™ve climbed and whatвЂ™s coming up. ThereвЂ™s also a significant increase in recording time if running the power-hungry GPS chip. In sunny conditions, Garmin says that, with the right settings, this will allow them to run for up to 16 days between charges if youвЂ™re outside for three hours a day.
