Blend function and style with illuminated analog watch hands for clear visibility – day and night

OLATHE, Kan., Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced Instinct^® Crossover AMOLED, its newest lineup of hybrid smartwatches designed to offer superior readability and timeless style in even the toughest conditions. Featuring mechanical watch hands, the vivid AMOLED display showcases 24/7 health and wellness data, activities and more in stunning detail. Meanwhile, the watch's built-in LED flashlight provides greater visibility in dark environments. And with incredible battery life of up to 14 days in smartwatch mode and 18 days in battery saver mode, users can do more while charging less.

Instinct Crossover AMOLED combines superior readability with the classic look of an analog watch.
