Updated with an improved GPS and a few tricks taken from the fēnix line, this is an Instinct you can trust. With the Instinct 2 Garmin has brought a multi-GNSS GPS and more activity profiles to their rugged Instinct line. By speaking to more satellites, you get a faster, more accurate signal in challenging conditions. GPS data is used both in navigation and in sport modes, getting you where you need to go and providing real-time speed and distance data along the way. Equipped with the latest Elevate™ optical heart rate monitor you get pulse information straight off your wrist, so there's no need to wear a chest strap. Sport profiles add custom metrics to how you train, letting you train smarter and evolve faster. When paired with the free Garmin Connect™ app on your phone, you can review activities, set up live tracking sessions, track real-time weather forecasts, receive notifications, control apps and much more.
