I Am Experiencing Short Battery Life on My Instinct Watch

Battery life for an Instinct can vary based on the watch's settings and use. With the battery charged to 100%, the Instinct can last:

  • Smartwatch Mode: Up to 14 days 
  • GPS Mode: Up to 16 hours   
  • UltraTrac Mode: Up to 40 hours

For tips on reaching up to the maximum advertised battery life of your watch see the following FAQ:  How to Improve my Garmin Instinct Tactical Battery Life
