The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar GPS Smartwatch is tough enough to keep up with you and unique enough to fit your style. Now it comes in two sizes to fit every wrist.
Engineered For Endurance
This rugged watch is water-rated to 100 meters and is thermal and shock-resistant, rated to MIL-STD-810. Plus, with a fiber-reinforced polymer case and chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, this device is built to endure.
Designed to Do You
Bold colors and high-contrast displays let you show the world that you do things your way.
Get More Battery Out of Life
Go longer than ever with solar charging with unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode. Plus, the power manager lets you extend battery life by controlling what settings and sensors draw power.
Multi-GNSS Support
Whether you are hiking, mountain biking, trail running, or skiing, you’ll have access to multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.
ABC Sensors
Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, a barometer to monitor the 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.
Smart Notifications
Receive emails, texts, and alerts right on your watch when paired with your compatible smartphone.
Connect IQ Store
Download custom watch faces, add data fields, and get apps and widgets from the Connect IQ Store app on your compatible smartphone.
Garmin Pay Contactless Payments
Breeze through checkout lines and select transit systems with Garmin Pay contactless payments through participating providers.
Safety and Tracking Features
When your watch and phone are paired, your live location can be sent to your contacts manually or during select outdoor activities automatically with built-in incident detection.
Calendar View
Easily see your plans for the day with a dedicated calendar screen when paired with your compatible smartphone.
Sync with the Garmin Connect App
See your health and fitness information all in one place. The Garmin Connect app on your compatible smartphone is a thriving online community where people on the go can connect, compete and share.
Built-In Sports Apps
Do whatever you love with preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming, strength training, indoor climbing, virtual running, golf, yoga, and more.
HIIT Workouts
This activity profile tracks your HIIT workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, and custom. Set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals, and more.
Recovery Time
After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity, and sleep.
VO2 Max
Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. It even accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.
Daily Workout Suggestions
For a training guide that takes you and your fitness level into account, get daily recommendations based on your current training load and training status.
MTB Dynamics
Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics plus specialized Grit and Flow measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend, giving you a score to beat next time.
Wrist-Based Heart Rate
Get estimated 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.
