Rugged, Outdoor GPS watch

Introduction

The Instinct is built to comply with US Military Standard 810G (MIL-STD-810G), guaranteeing that it will perform normally under the most challenging conditions.
MIL-STD-810G test performance under a wide range of environmental extremes, including altitude, shock, freeze-thaw, and corrosion, as well as water resistance equivalent to a depth of 100m (10 ATM), ensuring comprehensive protection and granting you peace of mind when you are tackling a peak or going for a new personal best.

U.S. military standard 810G (MIL-STD-810G)

In tests for high-altitude performance using MIL-STD-810G’s Method 500.6 (Procedure I and II), the Instinct was operational at altitudes as high as 12,000 feet, and can be stored at altitudes of 40,000 feet (international flight cruising altitude). Following Procedure IV of Method 516.7 (Pendulum Impact), the Instinct remained undamaged after multi-directional shock testing from a drop distance of 122cm. Under Method 524.1’s protocols for testing freeze-thaw (Procedures II and III) at temperature changes of less than 3°C per minute, the Instinct withstood multiple simulated high-altitude freezing-point cycles as well as freezing from room temperature, all without impaired functioning.

Additionally, the Instinct was able to pass corrosion testing under Method 509.6: spraying it with salt-fog for 24 hours and then drying for an additional 24 hours produced no corrosion, guaranteeing that the Instinct retains its durability in salt-rich maritime environments.
