Garmin Instinct Crossover vs Garmin Instinct 2

The #Garmin #InstinctCrossover is finally here after nearly a month of waiting!
This watch features a ton of similarities with the Garmin Instinct 2 series, but with added features such as a new GPS chipset which has the ability to connect to 'all systems' (5 satellite constellations), and physical watch hands.

Hi everyone, I just bought the garmin instinct crossover solar. It's brilliant. On opening the box, the watch has power. It was easy to setup. Went for a run with it today. The information after the run was great. On my old watch, garmin instinct, I enjoy seeing the pool temperature on the watch, when I swim. Still have to figure it out on the cross over. Overall a great watch.

You’ll soon find out that the hands do more than just get out of the way.🙂

outstanding review sir. Objective, technical and very well exposed . thank you

[nycbike]

I prefer Garmin Watches. Battery life is fantastic and it gives me me enough smart watch features.

[cedricsportes]

By the way is that a Black or Graphite sinve the solar dont come in black on the canadian site ? And do you recommend the solar, or not ?

[joeserious]

Which version is the Crossover in your review? Graphite? I apologize if you answered previously.

Would love this smaller and with an amoled screen

How is scratching situation after using a whle?

what makes the "tactical" version tactical? excellent review.

[cezzarmicu]

I like the instinct 2 solar more. No physical hands to obscure any of the digital data at a glance

[derekoxley]

Hi there, thanks for the review. Can one display the time digitally on the watch face at same time with the analog clock. Are he watch straps the same. It is only coming to south Africa now.

[blackmontecarlo]

Still sporting it? I am considering getting the Crossover. Have the 2s now but find it difficult to read sometimes....

8 months later, the retail price is 100 USD cheaper…. Solar version is 450$, tactical is 500 USD. And Amazon is list it as frequently returned item.

[Motawa]

how long do the hands glow in the dark?

[helmutkrusemann]

Hi guys, How accurate is the step tracker in general and compared to other step trackers like other Garmin watches, Apple Watch, Fitbit and especially Casio G shock GBD H 2000 because I’m thinking about buying either a Garmin instinct or g shock GBD H 2000. any Tipps or suggestions are much appreciated. thank you very much

[erfanmirzaei]

I think paying more than 300dollars for this is pointless

[rsgt]

Hi! Could you help a little bit? 😅 does the hands make any sound whe they are moving? Like little buzz or something like that? 😅

[DvLCn]

Does anyone have issues using UltraTrac on Inctinct 2. Mine is adding distance by 50% all the time. In GPS mode is accurate, i hand no problem with FR245 using UltraTrac.

Just from this review, you seem to miss the point of this watch's fitness tracking capabilities. You mostly refer to it as a smartwatch (with some sports settings).
Granted the price has come down since this review, but I think you should emphasize that it’s more than just a smartwatch. I’m mostly looking at it because of the HR & other fitness metrics it tracks. Plus, it does look much better than a plain plastic watch!
