Moon phase, or sunrise and sunset, widgets can be set on the Garmin Instinct to help keep you safe in the wilderness. These items can also be displayed on the watch face of the Instinct. Knowing when the sun will set helps you make sure you get back to camp before it gets too dark, or knowing that there will be new moon can make all difference when star gazing.
