The new models expand on the original model and introduce new and improved features to the range. The new watches are available in a range of colours, sizes and styles to ensure that there is a perfect Garmin Instinct 2 for everyone. This rugged GPS smartwatch is available with a solar variation that will provide the wearer with practically unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode. This makes the watch the perfect choice for someone who is always on the go. Additionally, this new model is available in two size variations for a comfortable fit on every wrist.

Garmin Instinct 2’s Sports Features
In recent years, Garmin has grown famous for its activity and sporting watches. Every Garmin timepiece is designed to be worn outdoors and each one is equipped to cope in challenging environments. The Garmin Instinct 2 models are no exception. The watches are all preloaded with activity profiles for running, biking, swimming and a whole range of other sports. These activities are tracked using multiple global navigation satellite systems and the built-in three-axis compass and barometric altimeter. The watches are also equipped with TracBack Routing. This technology is one of Garmin’s more recent inventions. It allows the wearer to navigate the same route back to their starting point, avoiding them getting lost. This is just one of several safety features that can be used when out and about. When the watch is paired with a phone, it is capable of sharing the wearer’s location with selected contacts.
This watch would make a great choice for someone who likes to do a variety of workouts and track every detail. This watch can track HIIT workouts and the wearer can set the number of rounds and work/rest intervals. The VO2 max feature shows the wearer how well they can expect to perform, allowing them to optimise their workouts. Additionally, the watch will provide daily workout suggestions alongside the wearer’s recovery times. The watch is also capable of sleep monitoring, body battery energy monitoring, fitness age calculation, intensity minutes, and women’s health monitoring.
Additional Features
The Garmin Instinct 2 models are all equipped with some smartwatch features. The watches are all capable of smart notifications to keep the wearer in touch with their contacts whilst on the go. They also have all-day health monitoring to allow the wearer to track their energy levels, stress and Pulse Ox. The watches are incredibly durable as they are each constructed using fibre-reinforced polymer cases with scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla glass. These timepieces have incredible battery life. The2 and 2S have a battery life of up to 21 days in smartwatch mode and 22 hours in GPS mode. The Solar models have practically unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode and 48 hours in GPS mode. Additionally, the Solar models are equipped with Garmin Pay and a calendar view.
