Normally well over £200 everywhere. Absolute steal
Crikey, rather bargainous!
Was looking at one of these for my birthday- ordered! Thank you 🙂
It's cheap enough that I'd be surprised if they don't cancel due to a pricing error, but you never know
Ordered. Many thanks.
Ordered thanks.
Ordered as well, they also have the tactical ones at a bigger discount.
Been eyeing these up so ordered one, thanks!
Enduro also seems like a good price at £240
Proper bargain that. I have no need for an Instinct but tempted nonetheless 🙂
Ordered, I've an ageing Forerunner in need of replacement so that's a great PSA thank you
Aye, I'll be having one. 😆
+1 here
and here, nice Chrimbo pressie
cheers
OP.

Fenix 7 and it’s derivatives are about to drop. Suspect much expensive stock needs shifting.
Ordered! Thanks 5lab.
I bought the tactical for a few quid more, no idea what extra it gives you but I’m sure it suits my pseudo outdoorsy image more…
Cool, good shout.
Can anyone confirm whether the Instinct Solar can display position in OS grid?
I am 99% sure it can, this is a key feature for me.
Thanks!!
Awesome. Been looking at gps/heart rate watches for a while. Mainly a garmin or an Apple Watch. However price has always stopped me. However at this price, it is almost equivalent to some cheap Chinese watches. (Tic watch / amazfit)
Plus my birthday in a couple of weeks.
As someone who has never had a smart/fitness watch I don't really know why I need one but they do seem useful. Was comparing with the Enduro watch which seems to have a lot more features, much greater battery life.
Would it be worth spending over twice as much for the Enduro? I see it has more specific mtb features.
Great PSA, thanks 5lab. Been looking at this watch for a wee while but pondering over the price of it/is it worth it for what I'll use it for. Have just texted my g/f to order the tactical version (it's still cheap, wasn't really looking at it before but now makes sense I feel) as payday is still a week away for me. Christmas present to myself I think
Can anyone confirm whether the Instinct Solar can display position in OS grid?
I don't think it can, I don't think it's a native data field for Garmin, and I don't think the Instinct range does Connect IQ.
For those wondering, afaik the only difference in the tactical one is it has a parachute mode, and the surf one has tide times and a surf mode. If you don't use any of those, the normal one is fine. No hardware changes I'm aware of.
Battery life on the solar is great. I charge mine once a week with probably 10 hours of exercise and 24/7 heartbeat, Bluetooth and step counting. Last summer I did a sunnyish 17 hour ride and it still showed 13 hours of tracking available.
Instinct will do OS grid as the ‘position format’ I think it’s part of the nav settings. Been looking at these for a while but have to consider if want the ‘new’ versions out in new year. But this price!
If anyone wants a not-much-used Fenix 5 I have one gathering dust - happy to take offers for it.
I don’t think it can, I don’t think it’s a native data field for Garmin, and I don’t think the Instinct range does Connect IQ.
It won't display in a data field, but if you hold in the GPS button during an activity, it'll display position, and this can be set up to show 'British grid'.
Cheers, already got a forerunner 245 music but use it all the time, flame red instinct solar ordered!
Thanks! Great PSA.
Big thank you to 5lab. Just ordered the tactical version. 😊
Thanks OP, shiny new watch on the way.
Was looking at one of these as a New Year pressie to myself anyway to replace my old Vivoactive, but at that price couldn't not get it as A Christmas Day gift instead.
F*****s when I get to checkout they detect I'm in Spain and apply the Spanish price 🙁
Enduro ordered!! Vivoactive3 to be appearing in the classifieds at some point
Yup, bloody great PSA. Thanks
F*****s when I get to checkout they detect I’m in Spain and apply the Spanish price
@mogrim if you have a British phone and you're using WiFi just turn WiFi off and the IP detection will pop you up as a British up address
Obviously if you're shipping to Spain it probably doesn't help
Great PSA .. thanks
I’ve been looking for something similar for a while so this is great timing
🤞 it’s not a pricing error or sold out and it arrives
Thanks OP
Ordered Surf edition..
Hopefully its not too big for my skinny wrist..
Thanks, been after one for tracking a 1200 Mile walk I'm planning
@ta11pau1, I'm the same and am trying hard not to buy a yellow one. This was a bad PSA, I don't really need another GPS watch but that is a proper bargain!
Obviously if you’re shipping to Spain it probably doesn’t help
All Spanish sadly.
Might try to enlist a mate's help, though...
Ridiculous price. Just ordered a surf one.
Wife just forced me to order an Enduro for myself!
Great shout, thank you! 🙂
Standard (£96), Camo, Tactical, Surf (- £108).
Would someone be kind enough to explain to this technophobe who needs a watch (but probably only wants to know the time) what the difference is?
Standard ordered in flame red, early birthday present to myself.
Thanks 5lab!!
Iirc...
Camo is the same as standard bar colour.
Surf has timetables and so on added.
Tactical has skydiving features, is geared up for use with night vision and you can turn off the transmitters so you don't reval your secret HQ on Strava.

Blimey. It's science fiction to me.
Well, I ride a bike and occaisionaly go for a stroll in the hills, but if I don't plan on standing on a board in a lumpy sea or leaping out of an aircraft the standard would be a better option for my needs?
Ordered, thanks OP.
Didn't want or need one till I saw it...
@bonzodog yeah, been struggling with it myself but from what you say, I think the standard will fit your needs. It's unlikely you would need the added features of the others.
Fenix 7 and it’s derivatives are about to drop. Suspect much expensive stock needs shifting.
Not sure thats the reason, as there isn't any huge discounts on the fenix 6 range. Probably just discontinuing the instinct completely as its been out since 2017/2018 ish, and just going forwards with the newer instinct solar is my guess.
... is geared up for use with night vision
Mine has a back light. Is that not the same thing?
Great PSA, thanks.
Don't need one but have just bought a Tactical.
Anybody want a 735XT. shortly going up for sale. 😉

Cheers mate.
Cheers for that.....
Was umming and arrring about getting a smart watch. That offer made the decision much easier.
Tidal Blue Instinct Solar ordered.
I also entered my German address and the price jumped from £96 to 355€. Needles to say its getting delivered to my old man's place and I'll pick it up in a few months time.
Mine has a back light. Is that not the same thing?
Not quite...
Looked at them earlier, just went to order one and they’re now showing £319.99
Bloody typical snooze you loose
Between self isolation and this place, this last week has cost me a fortune.
Still a few discounted, green tactical model for example
Someone at Garmin probably getting sacked when they go back to the office and realise

That happened to me after surfing through the website. Go to the OP's link and that'll take you back to the offer!
Think it’s limited colours. Wanted the graphite or black
@toomba the one the link lands on is the higher price, but others are still £96.
I’ve just opened the box on a 130plus gps that Mrs rock got me today. To avoid a divorce, and because I have skinny wrists, I won’t be getting one but they do look ruddy good for that price.
Orchid or tidal blue the only ones showing at the sale price. Is it possible they might add more colours??
Was a bit concerned that garmin tried to flog me a pc/ power lead at the same time for another 25 quid.
Please tell me it comes with a charging cable.....
They do come with a charging cable. Only the black one showing as full price for me, all the colours still at £96.
In the box:
Instinct® Solar
Charging/data cable
Documentation
Another bought. Thanks OP!
Site playing up a bit for me, I can now see all the colours with exception of graphite which is the one I wanted.
Managed to get one, £108 I’ve paid.
Was the Enduro also massively reduced? Appears to have jumped back to close to £700.
Unbelievable PSA.
And a late Xmas pressy for me.
Standard in Tidal Blue ordered for £95.99.
Thanks OP!

Enduro was (maybe still is ) £240 with the gray strap option. Strange that these discounts are only available in the UK. I had to order via a uk forwarding service.
Thanks OP for the PSA. Great Crimbo day present

I got a black one at the discount price but obviously all gone at the reduced price. Other colours still available at discount.
@toomba and any others still looking, the camo, tactical and surf editions are still on offer at £108. The standard and Enduro have gone back up in price.
Edit, thankfully I got in in time last night after much procrastination and bought a standard and enduro version at the sale price with a view to sending one back if e.g. the enduro is too big for my wrist. So, I might be able to offer one for what it cost me....That's if they turn up?????
I missed the enduro and it's gone back up. I would take that off you decide you don't want it Jordan.
Just tried to order one in tidal blue, main page shows £96, checkout shows £250…
Missed the boat somehow 🙁
main page shows £96, checkout shows £250…
Check the bottom line, my order confirmation shows full price and then a discount applied at the bottom of the page.
Ordered Tidal Blue last night for £96. Price is booted back to £250 this morning. I will be pleasantly surprised if they honour the order.
Standard in Tidal Blue ordered for £96.99.
Thanks OP!
Surely a price error?? Prices seem to have gone up within minutes of buying mine.
Surely a price error??
I don't think so, there is a special offer blurb there.
This is all over HUKD also they must be selling hundreds of them. I'm almost tempted even though I find Garmins too bulky/sweaty on my wrist which is why I don't use the one I've got. Ah consumerism!
Standard in Tidal Blue ordered for £96.99.
Thanks OP!
When did you order, my basket keeps ending up at £249.99?
