The Garmin Instinct price in India has been set at Rs. 26,990, and it will be available in Flame Red, Graphite, and Tundra. The watch's biggest highlight is its rugged build, featuring a US Military rating for its durability. It also sports a barometric altimeter, a 3-axis compass, and support for multiple GPS networks.

The Garmin Instinct features a fibre-reinforced polymer case, which along with its thermal, shock, and water resistance gives it a US MIL-STD-810G rating. It is equipped with an inbuilt 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter, multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) support - that helps track location in challenging environments compared to just GPS alone - and wrist-based heart rate monitor, the company said in a statement.
