WHATEVER YOU DO, TRUST YOUR INSTINCT
Unleash the Energy of the Sun on Your Wrist: Meet the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar - Whatever you do, trust your Instinct! This chunky, rugged GPS smartwatch is tough enough to keep up with you and powering advanced training features, a built-in flashlight, multi-band GNSS, health/wellness monitoring sensors and much more.
ENGINEERED FOR ENDURANCE This ultratough watch features a solar charged display and rugged 50 mm polymer case. It’s water-rated to 100 meters and tested to U.S. military 810 standards for thermal, shock and water resistance.
SOLAR POWERED Solar charging Power Glass™ lens extends battery life, producing 50% more energy than the Instinct 2 Solar. Go longer with the potential for unlimited solar-charged battery life in smartwatch mode. BUILT-IN FLASHLIGHT To help guide your way in low-light conditions, a built-in multi-LED flashlight provides variable intensities and strobe that matches your running cadence — plus a red safety light mode to help keep an eye on your nighttime surroundings. MULTI-BAND FREQUENCY SUPPORT Receive and utilize multiple frequencies sent by navigation satellites, which enable improved user position accuracy specifically in areas where GNSS signals are reflected, weak or typically do not penetrate. ABC SENSORS Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and 3-axis electronic compass. TRACBACK® ROUTING Take the guesswork out of your return journey by using this feature to navigate the same route back to your starting point. REFERENCE POINT Keep track of a known place — such as your car or the trailhead — relative to your location, and easily find your way back to it.
BUILT-IN SPORTS APPS Do whatever you love with preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming, strength training, indoor climbing, skiing, snowboarding, golf, yoga, Pilates and more.
WRIST-BASED HEART RATE Get heart rate data along with alerts if your heart rate stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. Gauge how hard your heart is working during activities.
SLEEP SCORE AND ADVANCED SLEEP MONITORING Get a full breakdown of your light, deep and REM sleep stages. View it all on a dedicated widget that includes your sleep score and insights.
MORNING REPORT Receive an overview of your sleep, recovery and training outlook as soon as you wake up — alongside HRV status and weather. You can even customize your report to show you what you want to see.
BODY BATTERY™ ENERGY MONITORING Optimize your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.
PULSE OX For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist to estimate how well your body is absorbing oxygen. HRV STATUS Gain a deeper understanding of your overall health, training and recovery through heart rate variability while you sleep, based on technology developed by our Firstbeat Analytics™ team.
