1. The Garmin Instinct Crossover has a design clearly inspired from Casio. It’s a hybrid smartwatch which is to say that it has a digital screen and analogue hands, both in one package. It is MIL-STD-810 and 10 ATM-certified. Garmin’s latest is also thermal and shock resistant.

2. The Garmin Instinct Crossover comes with traditional analogue-type hands with what Garmin calls “Super-Lumi Nova” which allows them to glow in the dark. The hands can automatically move out of the way when you need to read a notification. And they can also recalibrate on their own to using a technology called RevoDrive.
