Garmin · Adventure Watches
The Garmin Instinct® Crossover Solar - Tactical Edition in Black is a GPS smartwatch built for demanding use, combining luminescent analog hands with a sunlight-visible monochrome digital display. It’s a strong fit for users who want a rugged adventure watch with tactical-focused tools alongside everyday training, wellness, and smart features.
With solar charging, multiple battery modes, and support for GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, it’s designed to stay ready for long stretches away from the charger while tracking everything from hiking and trail running to motor sports. When paired with a compatible iPhone® or Android™ smartphone, it also brings convenient connected features to the wrist for day-to-day life.
Tactical features include night vision mode with a display designed to be read by night vision goggles, stealth mode to stop storing and sharing GPS position while disabling wireless connectivity and communication, and a kill switch that wipes the device of all user memory. Dual grid coordinates add dual-format location awareness.
Solar charging supports extended use across multiple modes, including Smartwatch: Up to 28 days/70 days with solar*, Battery Saver Watch Mode: Up to 71 days/Unlimited with solar*, and GPS: Up to 25 hours/31 hours with solar**. Power modes help tailor in-activity battery settings to the day’s mission.
Smart notifications deliver emails, texts and alerts on the watch when paired with a compatible Android™ or Apple® smartphone, and text responses are available with Android™ only. Garmin Pay™ contactless payments work through participating providers, and Connect IQ™ expands customization via the app on a compatible smartphone.
Battery
Instinct® Crossover Solar - Tactical Edition is built around a fiber-reinforced polymer case with a fiber-reinforced polymer/stainless steel bezel and a Power Glass™ lens. It’s water-rated to 10 ATM and is thermal- and shock-resistant. The 45.0 x 45.0 x 16.2 mm case size and 65 g weight keep it wearable for everyday use, while the monochrome, sunlight-visible transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display stays readable outdoors at 176 x 176 pixels.
Navigation
Multi-gnss support uses GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, and ABC sensors add an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and a 3-axis electronic compass. Mapping and navigation tools include point-to-point navigation, a real-time bread crumb trail, Back to start, TracBack® and Reference point to help keep a known location—such as a trailhead—linked to current position for the return.
Training
The watch supports a wide range of built-in activity profiles, plus training features like VO2 Max, Recovery time, Daily suggested workouts, and wrist-based running power with no accessory required. Wellness features include wrist-based heart rate with abnormal heart rate alerts (high and low), stress tracking, sleep score and advanced sleep monitoring, Body Battery™ energy monitoring, and Pulse Ox for altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring. Data and insights can be viewed and synced in the Garmin Connect™ app on a compatible smartphone.
