Common Garmin Instinct Questions
How much is a Garmin Instinct battery replacement? Garmin watch battery replacement is $99 for most models. We confirm the price with you before we start work.
How long does a battery replacement take? After assessing the fault and parts availability, we will confirm the expected repair timeframe. Many common repairs can be completed quickly, depending on the fault and parts availability.
Can you fix a cracked Instinct screen? Yes. We replace cracked and damaged displays on Instinct, Instinct 2, 2S and Solar editions.
Will my Instinct still be water resistant? We replace the seals whenever the watch is opened. Water resistance cannot be guaranteed on heavily corroded or impact-damaged units.
Do you repair heart-rate and GPS faults? Yes. We service heart-rate sensors and GPS modules and test signal accuracy after the repair.
Is there a warranty? Yes — a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship, covering defects only.
