The Instinct is one of the newest watches in Garmin’s lineup that was released October of last year. Built for the great outdoors, it sports a rugged and durable exterior available in a splash of subtle and playful colors.

Dad with kids in living room watching Sling

We’re heading into 2025, and the only thing that is sure to distract us from this strange reality we’ve found ourselves in is quality TV programming. And that’s why we’re highly recommending Sling Blue — the Sling package that focuses on quality entertainment — and its focused selection of channels that include favorites like FX, Bravo, and TLC. Right now, the plan is priced at $45.99, sort of. Like any quality show, there’s a hook, and right now that hook is you getting the first month at 50% off (at least for a limited time). Go ahead and tap the button below to see the plan yourself, being sure to enter your zip code to see if you have access to your local channels, which are only available in certain markets.

What you need to catch on Sling Blue this year
Quite honestly, today is the best day to sign up for Sling Blue for maximum efficiency, as the most shows are coming out this January, and if you’re an earnest watcher you can reap some serious value from your half-off month. But if you’re more of a Grey’s Anatomy, Real Housewives, or Top Chef fan, a Valentine’s Day sign up will let you be there for all of your favorite show’s premieres.
