Toughness redefined

In order to meet the expectations of fans of the Garmin Instinct series, the Crossover series combines an elegant design and an intuitive experience, thanks to new luminescent analog hands incorporating Super-LumiNova® technology.

Analog hands are superimposed on a high-resolution digital display that provides easy access to all detailed data. The Instinct Crossover is heat, shock and MIL-STD-810 compliant and 10ATM water resistant.

Thanks to Garmin's new RevoDrive™ technology, it also offers an accurate analogue display, whether during activity or in difficult environmental conditions. If the watch suffers a heavy impact during an adventure, the RevoDrive system will automatically re-calibrate to display the exact atomic time.

Unlimited autonomy

The Instinct Crossover Solar offers unlimited autonomy in analog mode thanks to its solar glass, up to 31 hours in GPS mode and 70 days in connected watch mode. As for the standard model, it can provide almost a month of autonomy in connected watch mode and up to 40 days in GPS expedition mode.
