Q: Is this reliant on having a cellphone? I want a gos watch that will work even if i don't have a phone.

Short answer: yes, it is. Long answer: you don’t need a phone to be constantly connected to the watch in order to function, unless you want phone notifications to vibrate on your wrist every time you get a text or something. It really is designed to be paired with your phone, and won’t work for you without the ability to be regularly synced to your account on Garmin’s site. And you’ll need to sync the watch when you first get it: that’s how you’ll initially set time and date and do an initial configuration. After that you can be independent from your phone to a certain extent. You can go for days without syncing, and during that time you can record activities, gps journeys and track back to the point of origin. Eventually you’ll need to sync to the phone again so your activities and vitals sync up into your Garmin connect account, and you’ll be able to access that history via the app on your phone or a web browser on your computer. You can also push courses to the watch through syncing. I hope this helps. see less

Q: I need a watch that can survive being banged around (police officer) how rugged is this watch?

Depends what you mean by “banged around.” I am not gentle with mine and it has worked well since I bought it several months ago.

Yes, the Instinct has a chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant, sunlight-visible, transflective display
