Great review, thanks! I own the 'old' Instinct Tactical, which I love. I do like the addition of the mechanical movement on the Crossover, but for all the reasons you mention, for the money, I think I'd prefer to go with something like the Forerunner 955, which would feel like a true upgrade from the watch I have. Cheers!

A comprehensive and honest review as usual. Thanks buddy! 👍

Appreciate the detail and way you packed so much info into this video so cleanly. Wish Garmin would have a little more price separation between their models. They have dozens of watches for sale at this point, and the vast majority are between $250 and $650, and almost none of them are even remotely the same.

Thanks for another great review. My holy grail is the Fenix 7x Saphire Solar. 🤤 I'm a big G Shock fan so yeah, the Crossover looks a little more my speed. The reality is I have an Instinct 1 Solar that has nothing wrong with it for my needs. 😭 One other thing I noticed on the Garmin specs is the Crossover has 62 MB of memory/history while the Instinct 2 has 32 MB.

Ordering the Crossover this week. Really like the analog hands. It will be replacing my Casio Protek.

It is a very nice locking watch, but little beat spensive. Thanks for the review.

I liked a lot you comments and tips!

I love the look of the watch, just doesn’t have the features I need as a runner. Bought the 255s music this year. Love it.

The Instincts I felt are intersting watches because of their G Shock look and of course because of their features, but they where never for me, because of the limitation of the screen by the fixed circle. Now the Crossover does not have that circle anymore, but it has hands. I like how they manage how the hand go out of the way. Really funny, but still the instinct is not mine, maybe because I mostly have a digit watchface then one with hands. But I believe that this is a great improvement for the instinct

Your review helped me decide, I ordered the crossover. I wanted an analog watch first and fitness/smart watch second. I have had too many smart watches and fitness bands and the lack of physical hands has become tiresome. Always on and even shake awake has resulted in burn in over time for almost all of my watches. I'm hoping this watch ticks all the boxes, my research has me hopeful. You picked up a subscriber too, keep up the good work.

I’ve got a crossover and I do like the visibility during the night with the lume. That being said, it is not a cheap watch

Thanks for the review I really enjoyed it. I personally am interested in the crossover for all the things you've mentioned in the review, but also mainly for the aesthetics, I love the fact that it has mechanical hands + all the other smartwatch/fitness watch features. I have a fenix 6 solar which I have been wearing everyday since my wife bought it for me nearly two years ago and an instinct solar 1 which is now sitting in my drawer... Yes, I would buy the crossover... I am a fan of the hands and the swiveling movement, it almost seems like it's alive, it is spirited and I like that. I have to budget for it though because it is not cheap as mentioned. Thanks again for the review! One last thing, are the messages legible and can you read the entire message and emojis? Let me know if you read this comment guys. Love and peace to all

Looks awesome. I am so in love with my instinct. I did smart watches for quit a while. I am so glad I switched to Garmin. I should specify . I mean traditional smart watches. I don't consider the majority of Garmin watches to be a "smart watch" in the traditional sense

It's interesting and shows me how I have changed as a consumer. If you'd shown me this when I first was interested in a sports tracking/GPS watch, I would have jumped at the chance! Now, I'd like the same features, just without the distracting hands 😅

I really love the look of the instinct crossover, I do agree with you, it even may eat a chunk of the market of analog users who would also like something more capable in the tracking department (the "Casioak" GA-2100 broke sell records back in the day, and it had a similar idea but fairly more limited) but the pricing is just too steep. You mentioned the Forerunner 955, but for the price tag and specially now during Cyber Monday and Black Friday deals, you could get the Fenix 6 for actually less money having all those features the Forerunner has, without missing the outdoor look and feel, not to mention most watches of the outdoor competition as well.

I agree. It's weird and kinda cool that the option exists, but the price is hard to swallow especially when you can get forerunner 955 for a much cheaper price, not to mention other smart watch options. I think this should be another option in pricing terms to Instinct Solar, which has seen a price increase anyway. $350 sounds fair.

Dang that’s thick. I had the v1 and v2 instinct solar and love it. I am into mechanical watches too and 12-13mm height is the sweet spot for me. The instinct 2 had a good height for the line, but if this is even thicker than that… that’s pushing it. And then with the price, it just doesn’t make sense. Maybe they can refine this idea a little more, what about these ideas? slim it down, better legibility with less battery life, add a uni or bi directional bezel, add a flashlight like the fenix 7x.

I hope Garmin improved the issue with buttons getting stuck, especially for swimmers and other water based activities. My 2 instinct solar surf edition had this problem and looking to switch to the cross-over...

Nice review! Thanks Volkanovski 👍

Great stuff. Always love your content. I need some help. I’ve been using Fenix 3HR Titanium for several years (paired with Polar chest strap). Bought (then returned) several Garmins to replace it (5x, 5 plus, instinct, instinct 2 Solar..) My issue with the Instinct 2 Solar was readability especially at night when checking the time as the backlight would washout the screen. So I thought this Crossover would be the answer. Now with Fenix & epix series having touch screen, it’s making me curious about the Venu which I had never considered before. Also interested in the workout animations which I wouldn’t have on instinct. I mainly use it for strength training, running and training for occasional half marathons. I also play tennis but I don’t really need to track it. I’m about to turn 50 if that matters. Do you think the Venu would be sufficient? Thanks!

The cross over is Suica compatible in Japan - so you can buy things at the convenience store, vending machines, supermarkets and use it as a train pass - which is pretty cool (many of the garmin devices are suica compatible).

It would be hard to choose this over the 955, but I do like the appearance of it.

I have got the Fenix 6 pro but I think it is heavy and cold because you have metal directly on the skin, even though it has music, color display and maps. Now I got the crossover because it sits better on the wrist, it feels warmer in cold weather, it is lighter, and tracks what I need. The music on the Fenix drains battery when using gps and running modes at the same time. The maps are smart, but not very useful in my opinion. If I am in need of navigation to a specific point or so I wouldn't use the watch anyway. Also the crossover is robust and made with a military standard. I don't think the Fenix 6 pro is unless it is the titanium and saphire version. I find the hands really usefull in the dark, and it lights up for many hours. Turn on the light and put your hand over the watch, then it glows again. I always felt that the Fenix was really uncomfortable for running etc. And a little big for my wrist. The crossover is 2 millimeters smaller, but it actually feels more normal. Also the Fenix gets scratches really easy because, the screen is exposed. On the crossover it is kind of behind some of the rubber/plastic. The crossover also feels better when sleeping and sometimes you forget that you wear it 😂

I think to buy a Instinct Cross in the future!

Amazing Watch!!

I do really really really like the look it's everything I've wanted from a "hybrid" smartwatch/military watch. Buttt I might have to wait till they have a 2nd edition with better solar power

Just bought it after watching the video. Really great watch, the only issue that I have (I didn't really noticed it before buying) is that it doesnt have built-in LED flashlight like instinct 2 has. Otherwise, I like it a lot.

I want the Crossover so much, but I bought the Instinct 2 Solar when it came out earlier this year. So now i’m not sure if I want to spend another $1,150 AUD on a watch that’s very similar to my Instinct 2 Solar. First world problems really.

You are very luck getting to test and use all these different Garmin watches. Garmin offers such a diverse field of watches, each that have their own style and feature set. I personally really like this one (I like all the Instinct watches), and I had an Instinct solar for a year before my Fenix 7. I loved the comfort of the watch, and the tough look, but unfortunately I can own only one, and that is the Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. In the end it is the watch that does it all for me, as I use it mostly for long distance hiking, running, and sometimes a stand-in for my Edge 1030 riding.

Great review. I've had the crossover solar tactical for about 5 months now and have never charged it yet. I live in an area with plenty of sunshine so the 70-day battery life info for crossover solar is not accurate. I have the infinite sign on the watch with 100% full battery constantly.

Great rewiew as allways! I realy like the Watch, the arms, the nostalgia, just great) is solar worth it? And, one more; can it run just the hands? I mean display off? Or stand by mode? Please excuse me, my engish sucks, but belive me you would be even worse at my language) Thanks

The tactical features on the "tactical" model are the same as the Instinct 2 tactical which include stealth mode, killswitch, etc...

A year later and I'm considering the crossover. I had the fenix 3 for a long time. Went to the 6x to add heart rate and it's been great. But the hands appeal to me and the crossover has "windsurfing" which can't be added to my fenix 6x. So I either upgrade to a 7x/7xpro/epix2 or I can go with the crossover. With how I've always used my fenix, I don't use maps, I don't use music, and color really doesn't matter to me. The only real negative I see here is only 4 data fields during a recording, I use all 8 on my 6x... Yeah I can pick and choose and setup 2 screen but that's the one drawback. I'm a watch guy though so the look with actual hands has always appealed to me. The fact it has wind sports built in is a huge plus that pushing me towards it. These are now $350 so the "value" is a lot different. Thanks for the review.

It's really ironic that this watch comes out as I'm getting an itch for something in the ana-digi category and have been looking at a lot of G-Shock and Eco-Drive watches recently. I haven't pulled the trigger because Citizen and Casio do not offer any analog-digital watches with any kind of health and fitness monitoring. About the closest thing is the G-Shock Move GBD-H1000. Digital, with some health and fitness metrics, but no analog watch hands. This new Garmin will likely be my next watch! The 6 Pro has been on sale on Amazon for $350 USD lately, too. Decisions, decisions! 🤣

Garmin has been making “smart” watches for nearly 15 years and even the first generation versions are supported today. I have a 10 year old Fenix 1 that still syncs with Garmin Connect. But yes, even without garmin connect the watch will still tell time if that’s all you want from it. Though, if all you need is an analog watch there are probably cheaper options out there.

I really like the fenix 3 because its rugged with a color screen and its cheap for its quality But unfortunately it is discontinued😢

Just trying to catch some Casio marketshare. With inflation and little in the way of salary adjustments just yet, these costs can’t be justified IMO for what value is provided.

I really wanted hands, sooo bad. Wanted to remake one of other non-sport hybrid garmin watches - even bought phosphorous paint. But gave up the idea of braking the watch, just gave it away instead. I got crossover tactical, super happy with it, but I also thought that I am getting infinite battery life - didn't realise that I am loosing that to Instinct 2. I would not go for Instinct 2, because it didn't have hands. Sooo, I guess this is best for me anway. I switched from AppleWatch Ultra and Tactix Delta 6 - had to get used to small digital screen, but once got used to that I am super happy. I have an option to get back to Ultra or Delta, but not likely will happen in next 6months or so.

All Systems means different GNSS Satellites on same frequency - GPS L1, Gallileo, BeiDou etc, where MultiBand is I.e. GPS L1 + Glonass or GPS L2 or L5 . So for Crossover they would need to invest in multiband (2 or more freq.) antenna to cover multiband GNSS 🫤 chipset would not do anything if there is no multiband antenna on board, not possible to change with software😢
