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.

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.
