Second Chance Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition Black
Pros and cons
- With a touch of a button, you can delete all your data in case of an emergency.
- You can charge your smartwatch via solar power, so your battery last longer.
- Leave your wallet at home, because you can make contactless payments with your watch via Garmin Pay.
- This watch looks best on a wrist circumference of at least 17cm, so choose the smaller Instinct 2S if you have a smaller wrist.
- There's no built-in music storage, so you have to take your smartphone with you if you want to listen to music during your workout.
Product description
The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition Black is suitable for extreme circumstances. You can switch between a day and night mode, and you can even read the screen while you wear night glasses. The watch also has a 'Kill Switch', so you can erase all your data at once in case of an emergency. It's possible to charge your Garmin on the go via solar power, so it lasts a very long time. The Instinct is suitable for outdoor sports enthusiasts. You can keep track of your mountain bike data, or dive to a 100m depth, for example. The Garmin Instinct also provides insight into your recovery time after your workout. That way, you know if you're ready for a new workout or need more rest. The watch also measures your fitness age, which calculates if your body is older than your actual age. The watch has a built-in GPS receiver, so you don't have to take your smartphone with you to track your route. The watch also tracks your health, like your stress level and sleep quality. You can view incoming notifications on the watch, so you're always up-to-date. You can also pay with the watch via Garmin Pay.
This watch is recommended for a 17 to 19cm wrist circumference.
