Garmin - Instinct Crossover Solar

Instinct crossover 2 solar because it’s cool, I can beat the shit out of it, and it has everything I need. It’s a little bulky but works.

Agreed. I have the instinct crossover solar edition and am lucky to get 3 weeks. I don't use the GPS often either.

That's the watch I have (instinct 3, solar tactical), It's fantastic, wife has one of the AMOLED versions. It's no worse than the AMOLED for looking at all the stats, as long as you don't absolutley need bright colors for some odd reason. The battery life and always on screen make it a clear winner for me. I use it for sports tracking (Mainly runs, hikes, gym and cycling) and checking my recovery needed. I can't see anything more you'd ever need in a watch, just seems perfect. I'd had the instinct crossover for a few years before I bought this and it's still in utterly perfect condition, battery is still amazing. I work a physical and messy job, and I've worn it to work every day expecting it to get rather messed up. literally looks brand new, and i've accidently scraped it down brick walls and all kinds of sillyness. I only upgraded because I fancied trying out a solar one and loved the look of the tactical.

Garmin instinct crossover, 28 days battery life, 50 without constant hr measurement. Instinct 2x and instinct 3 solar 50mm have 40 days battery life, 70 without hr. And solar charging.

Check whether this reality. My crossover says I have 51 days battery life when the hr sensor is switched off, but in real life, it's about 33 days. Still amazing, but less.

I appreciate the craftsmanship in mechanical watches, but it's really just jewellery to me. I prefer functionality more. So I mostly use the Garmin Instinct Crossover, which has physical watch hands which I love and only have important notifications on.

Crossover is my main one.

I have s11 and garmin crossover, and s11 is just smartwatch. Garmin is complete training computer.

Instinct crossover if you want a hybrid watch that tracks your HR halfway decently for sports. I love that it's an analog watch with Lume most of the time, but when I need it, it's a fully digital (amoled) display giving me all the training info I need in a glance.

That would be sweet. I had to quit wearing my watch at night (Instinct Crossover) because I realized having something like that on my wrist was waking me up at night. I'd love to have sleep stats again.

I've used Garmin Instinct Crossover and 2X for over 2 years and had no issues with the software. I understand those are not Forerunner watches, but I've never heard of Garmin watch resetting during an exercise.

I use it mostly for sports tracking, specifically indoor swimming. \- It's accurate when we talk about tracking lengths, if you're swimming "stable". Then it's counts lengths without mistakes. \- If you suddenly have to switch the style, e.g. you swim freestyle, but then you have to slow down, change to breaststroke etc, your watch will go crazy and there will be some hallucinations on the report for example extremely fast lap time gets registered... But it requires some strange situation to happen (like someone appearing on your lane, but having way slower tempo than you). Unfortunately I haven't found a way to fix this, even manually in the mobile/web app. \- HR sensor is well... unreliable? I don't know, I never compared it with some serious device like Polar HR strap. But today I was swimming 2000m with moderate pace, tempo was mostly very stable. And look what has been registered: [https://imgur.com/a/IpPNEfl](https://imgur.com/a/IpPNEfl) The only explanation for this, is that I didn't put the watch tight enough, and after some time of swimming it repositioned itself and started monitoring HR more correctly than for the first 15 mins. In general I still like it. I like the oldschool, high contrast display, it's not flashy, distracting AMOLED. Battery life is very good. It's quite comfortable because it's rather still a lightweight watch (I have 45mm version).
