Garmin India enters into 'lifestyle watch' segment with INSTINCT!

Garmin India announced its first ever lifestyle watch - Instinct, a strong and durable GPS-enabled smartwatch with built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter plus multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) support and wrist-based heart rate monitor.

Extremely capable and tough, the Garmin INSTINCT comes in a fibre-reinforced polymer case and is thermal, shock, and water resistant (U.S military standard 810G). The fibre-reinforced polymer case adds strength and durability, and the chemically-strengthened, scratch-resistant display is high-contrast enough to read in bright sunlight, so you can take it with you into the extremes you face every day.

Designed for the outdoors, the new Garmin INSTINCT will be available in three appealing colours- Flame Red, Graphite and Tundra at just Rs.26,990.

INSTINCT is available at Garmin’s authorized stores, select Helios stores and Online shopping portals like thegarminstore.in, Paytmmall and  AmazonIndia.

Addressing the launch, Ali Rizvi, National Sales Manager - Garmin India said, “India is a very important market for Garmin and holds great potential for the lifestyle segment. We are excited to introduce INSTINCT as its India’s first Lifestyle watch for the people who wish to have an approachable smartwatch that is rugged and reliable. Built on U.S. military standard 810G for thermal, shock and water resistance, the watch holds all the technologically advanced features for the people who love to explore outdoor experiences.”

Equipped with multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo), the INSTINCT can help track users’ location in more challenging environments than with just GPS alone. With a built-in wrist-based heart rate monitor, users can also track daily activity, stress, sleep and other wellness data.

Whether camping, on a training run or going through day-to-day activities, INSTINCT keeps track of heart rate, steps taken, distance travelled, calories burned and more. Hiking, running, biking, swimming, kayaking and skiing are just a few of the activities supported on the device. Through heart rate variability, the Instinct can track stress levels, allowing the user to be more aware of when physical or emotional sources may cause stress levels to rise.
