Garmin is having a busy start to the year. We have already had launches for the Garmin Venu 2 Plus, Fenix 7 and Garmin Epix Gen 2.

One of the watches people have been eager to launch is the new Instinct 2.

The original proved to be a popular launch acting as a sort of affordable Fenix with a rugged Casio G-Shock aesthetic.

The new Garmin Instinct 2 should be launching very soon and one German website has already been a little over-eager and published the product page early.

The Garmin Instinct Solar launched for £340

Smartwatches reach a new level with the Instinct 2 Solar. Garmin’s outdoor watch is a reliable companion on your daily adventures in the city or in nature. Best of all: thanks to the latest solar technology, the battery of the Instinct 2 lasts practically forever in smartwatch mode. In GPS mode, it has a battery life of up to 48 hours. Ideal for anyone who wants to use their sports watch around the clock. Anyone who travels in a variety of ways can look forward to the extensive functions of the watch. Various sports apps such as HIIT, yoga or triathlon are included for the training area right from the start, but all kinds of body values ​​can also be recorded with the sports watch. From the heart rate monitor to the VO2 max value, i.e. the maximum amount of oxygen absorbed per minute during exertion, to the Body Battery™ status and various other fitness tracking functions such as step counters or intensity minutes. This makes interval training or preparation for the next marathon possible with links. Each training day can be perfectly adapted to individual needs.

The Instinct 2 Solar can also shine with its focus on outdoor activities. The satellite navigation systems GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO are supported, so you are on the safe side on tours worldwide. The built-in 3-axis compass and a barometric altimeter help to determine the exact path and location. Various outdoor leisure time profiles such as mountaineering are precisely tailored to the respective activity. Route and track navigation, elevation profile or the back-to-start function simplify every track considerably, especially in unfamiliar terrain. No matter how demanding, the Power Glass™ of the lens protects against some stress and the military standard MIL-STD-810G also indicates a special resilience of the smartwatch. The transflective MIP display requires little energy and can also be viewed in bright ambient light. The watch is waterproof up to a value of 10 ATM, i.e. up to 100 meters or 10 bar pressure.

Of course, the popular smart functions should not be missing for everyday use, so the outdoor watch comes with Garmin Pay, smart notifications, music, weather and calendar functions and can be connected to other devices via ANT+ and Bluetooth. The Instinct 2 Solar is therefore ideally suited for all athletes and outdoor adventurers who want a particularly long battery life and thus maximum flexibility. With this smartwatch you can forget about charging regularly!
