The design of the watch is slightly more round and thin. Its also more slim but it has still preserved its masculine and robust look. Now Instinct is also available in a regular size and a small (S).

Endless battery life in Smartwatch-mode

The Garmin Instinct 2 solar panels have enough power to charge the watch in Smartwatch-mode. Of course this requires you to be outdoors in sunshine but in these conditions you are provided with endless battery life. 

Garmin Pay

Garmin Instinct 2 also offers Garmin Pay, so you can leave your wallet at home and pay with your watch instead. You can register your credit card on the watch, so you can make payments – also without having your phone nearby. And don´t worry, you can still install a code, so if the watch should falll into the wrong hands, it can´t be used for making payments. 

ConnectIQ

Thanks to Garmins Connect IQ you can design your watch exactly to your liking. You can get watch dials, widgets, change data fields and download apps for your watch. You have a multitude of options for personalizing your watch from a rich variety of different downloads. 

Incident- and fall detection

If you have an accident and take a fall during running, hiking or biking, your watch can via your phone send a message to a list of contacts which will show your GPS-coordinates and let them know that you have been in an accident. 

Intensity Minutes 2.0

Most of us don´t track our activities during the day. Perhaps you go to the supermarket, cycle to work, vacuum or perhaps you wonder how many stairs you have climbed during the day. Thanks to Intensity Minutes 2.0 you can retrieve a lot of additional info on all activities you normally don´t track. 

Hydration, menstrual cycle and pregnancy tracker 

With the Garmin Instinct 2 you can register your daily water consumption, and you can schedule reminders for driking water to prevent you from getting dehydrated. In addition you can also track your menstrual cycle and possibly your pregnancy to discover specific patterns, etc.. 

Health Monitoring Activity

Thanks to this new feature, Garmin Instinct 2.0 will allow you to get a fast (only takes two minutes) analysis of your health data. Your heart rate, heart rate variation, the oxygen saturation of your blood, your respiration data and your stress levels – all can be exported as a PDF which you can share with your doctor among others. 

Under-water heart rate monitor

The Garmin Instinct 2 heart rate monitor can also be used under water allowing you to retrieve your heart rate data if you are swimming, surfing or doing other things.
