#Scenes: Garmin Instinct Watch Launch & Roadshow

If you were looking for an accessory that epitomises your intuitive trait, look out for the new GARMIN INSTINCT outdoor GPS watch.

GI_19Designed with urban intuitive adventurers in mind, GARMIN INSTINCT is a reliable tool built to endure challenging environments. It is constructed to the U.S military standards (MIL-STD-810G) for thermal, shock and water resistance with a fibre reinforced polymer case. It can withstand temperatures of -20℃ to 60℃, and multi-directional shock testing from a drop distance of 122 cm. Its water resistance is rated to 100 meters, and it is also corrosion resistant, retaining its durability in salt-rich maritime environments.

While in the field, feel confident exploring off the beaten path thanks to its multiple GNSS satellite networks that helps to track a user’s location in more challenging environments than with just GPS alone. GARMIN INSTINCT also provides comprehensive navigation and tracking functionalities, using GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass). Before venturing out, use the Garmin Explore™ app to plan the trip in advance and when it’s time to head back to camp, the TracBack® feature on the watch can navigate the same route back to the original starting point.

With built-in wrist-based heart rate, users can monitor daily activity, stress level, sleep and other wellness data. Whether camping, on a training run or going through day-to-day activities, GARMIN 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 new GARMIN adventure watch innovation can track stress levels, allowing the user to be more aware of when physical or emotional sources may cause stress levels to rise.

As a modern Malaysian woman who lives a hectic life, GARMIN INSTINCT has been the perfect innovation for the award winning actress and fitness advocate – Sharifah Sakinah, GARMIN Malaysia brand ambassador.

GI_2-min“Being an actress, intuition plays a large part in my life and GARMIN INSTINCT, in a way, epitomises my intuitive personality. In fact, I even regard it as more than a watch – it is a stylish companion that keeps my life in check,” said Sharifah Sakinah. “From working out in the gym to hiking through the outdoor wilderness, Garmin Instinct is my personal record keeper as it tracks my day-to-day movements and activities. Furthermore, being in a challenging environment such as densely thick forests of Borneo is a breeze, thanks to the multiple GNSS satellite networks. Add in the cool colour swatches and the affordable price, I think everyone should own an Instinct!”
