Garmin Instinct Crossover Blauw
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
De Garmin Instinct Crossover Blauw valt op door zijn zeer nauwkeurige GPS en hartslagmeting, zelfs in uitdagende omgevingen. De batterijduur is indrukwekkend, met tot 28 dagen in smartwatch-modus en nog langer in batterijbesparende stand. Het horloge is robuust gebouwd, waterdicht tot 10 ATM en bestand tegen schokken. De analoge wijzers met RevoDrive-technologie zijn altijd goed leesbaar. Nadelen zijn het ontbreken van multiband GPS, geen ingebouwde kaarten (alleen breadcrumb-navigatie), en het forse formaat dat minder prettig kan zijn voor smalle polsen. Ook ontbreekt muziekopslag, wat voor sommigen een gemis is. Over het algemeen is dit een uitstekende keuze voor wie een duurzame, nauwkeurige outdoor smartwatch zoekt, maar minder geschikt voor wie uitgebreide navigatie of muziekfuncties wil.

It can be easy to overlook the Instinct in Garmin’s range, with many drawn instead to the perennially popular Forerunner and Fenix lines, or the shiny smartwatch-style designs of the Vivoactive 4 or Venu. However, if you’re looking for a relatively cheap outdoor watch with a long battery life, solid sports tracking and navigation features, the Instinct is a sound option. The new solar edition of the watch is even more enticing because it offers the promise of increased battery life in sunny conditions, to the point where in Battery Saver mode it doesn’t need to be charged at all.

Garmin never shied away from releasing niche smartwatches, but the Instinct Crossover Solar is the most out-of-the-box Garmin watch to date. In fact, some people, including myself, might question why this watch needs to exist in the first place. It's more expensive than the similar Instinct 2 Solar and offers very few upgrades apart from the analogue hands. For hardcore Garmin watch owners and collectors only.

The Garmin Instinct Solar is the smaller sibling of the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar and it comes equipped with a range of casual and hardcore features that many people who like outdoor life and fitness will find useful. The main USP is, of course, the solar charging and the Instinct Solar delivers on this front: if you happen to use the watch for outdoor exercising, as you most likely will, you won’t have to reach for the charger more often than every other week, which is pretty amazing for a watch that has an always-on screen, even if it's 'just' the memory-in-pixel variety.

Fantastic watch! All the features and sensors of the Garmin Instinct 2 line, but with physical hands - super easy to read, and the glow-in-the-dark substance that Garmin uses, really makes it easy to see at night. So far, the battery life is also amazing. Ive seen some posts online about condensation inside the top glass - I havent experienced that issue, perhaps it's more something to be concerned about in colder climates. I really hope Garmin continues making hybrid smartwatches; I love the aesthetic!

While it is a fully capable GPS smartwatch, it works as an analog watch. It’s not as tightly integrated as an Apple Watch, but it does everything I want. As long as you understand and accept the boundary, it’s almost perfect.
