Instinct Crossover - Standard Edition

Mine as well, max waiting time on my Crossover 7 seconds, which is nothing.. ..even 30 seconds is almost nothing, I'd say.

if you don't care about colourful screen, I highly recommend one of the Instinct (2, Crossover or 3), I personally use Crossover standard (but I should get Solar version) 2 years already, battery is still the same (2 weeks recording running 2mil, and walking 1mil daily, and strength 4 times a week). I really hope for the next version of the Crossover, but no signs of it for now 😔

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.

Watch Concept: I use the Instinct Crossover, best hybrid watch on the market. Use: telling time, alarm, notifications and breadcrumb navigation while hiking. Nothing else.

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.

take a look at the garmin instinct crossover - its basically an instinct with the full tracking capabilities of the instinct, but with mechanical hands - the solar versions give you a pretty long time between charges too.

rock climbing - would suggest sticking to garmin or coros as those are the only 2 that provide that functionality. Note its limited to only a couple of models on coros, whereas on garmin its on most models. Haven't had a coros so can't comment much on it. Re Garmin - you would have to manually adjust your sleep schedule but its pretty easy to do via the app - so a bit of a PITA but not a deal breaker. You want something fairly durable if wearing while on duty - so would suggest either the coros vertix series (maybe nomad - don't know much about it) or the garmin fenix / instince series. Advantage of coros and fenix is the built in offline mapping for hiking.. Would give the edge to garmin in terms of the hiking and fishing as their built in aps for this are just better. (note that if using the instinct 3 amoled you can install a 3rd party offline map option, however no offline music option). Garmin Fenix does include offline spotify (assuming you have a sub), whereas as Coros offers your own mp3s only.

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

Lots of good info here. I’m a fan of my Instinct Crossover. I like the hands and g shock esque style. Has all the Garmin suite of features including navigation etc. Battery life is great…weeks!
