Sits between the Fenix and the Vivoactive.

But more “rugged” than both.

 

 

Not as sports orientated as it's fitness orientated.What i like is the shock resistance.Seems to be made more for military and adventure races.

 

I just added an Instinct to my collection.

 

My trusty Edge 305 was doing duties up until a few weeks ago when we unexpectedly parted ways on a run down Gravity at Giba. The hunt was on for a new device.

 

I looked at a few (Suunto, Garmin, Polar) but they all look like they belong on the arm of a triathlete (which I suppose they do) I am a weekend warrior (at best) carrying around a generous helping of belly jelly that wants to measure heart rate and location with the convenience of the automatic syncing with Garmin Connect so that I get my Vitality points. I ride adventure bikes occasionally so the navigation function is also cool as well as the weather features.

 

My everyday watch was a Casio G-Shock Mudman and the Instinct ticked all my boxed. It was wrist based heart rate with all the associated metrics (excluding swim function and power measurement but I have no use for those facilities anyway) packaged into what looks like a G-Shock. (You either love them or you don't.)

 

I looked at a few options but they were either too small (I have big wrists) or they looked too sporty which didn't suit my unique physique. I have also read that the Instinct can take a beating so it suits my industrial work environment and my lifestyle.

 

It's been a few weeks now and I have no regrets.
