This Garmin Instinct Crossover deal makes it $400 less than the latest model
Get month-long battery life, physical watch hands, all the health tracking you need, and more for just $249 with this Garmin Instinct Crossover deal.
When you can’t decide between a “regular” watch and a smartwatch, a hybrid is the way to go. Just as it sounds, the Garmin Instinct Crossover successfully marries the physical, tactile feel of a standard sports watch with the usefulness and health-tracking wizardry of a smartwatch. It’s even got dope glow-in-the-dark hands and numbers, plus a bright backlit display, making it easy to see in any light (or none at all).
This Garmin Instinct Crossover deal takes $50 off the regular price (that’s just $5 away from the lowest price of all time). This one’s a 2022 release, and while that would be old for a Wear OS watch, Garmin is good about supporting their watches for a very long time. The company does sell a newer version of this watch with an AMOLED display, but it’s a whopping $649, and I’m not sure it’s worth $400 more.
Despite having physical hands, the Instinct Crossover sports all the amazing, uh, sports-tracking features of the Instinct 2 series. And while it might look like those hands would get in the way of the lovely screen behind, they’re totally mechanized and will get out of the way to help show what’s on screen. It’s seriously cool to watch it in action!
In total, the Instinct Crossover can track over 100 activity and sport modes, delivers up to 100 hours of GPS tracking, and 28 days of regular smartwatch usage per charge. If you’ve not used a watch like this, you’re going to be blown away by how great the battery life is.
It’s also got full Garmin Connect IQ support in the Garmin app and can sync to Strava to keep all your workouts in one place. And yes, that means you can connect it with Meta AI Glasses and see your real-time workout stats on any videos you record during your runs, workouts, or whatever it is you like to do. And, yes, you can still see all your notifications on the watch face.
At $400 cheaper than the newest model and $50 less than the usual price, this Garmin Instinct Crossover deal is one to seriously consider.
