<p>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 Solar 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. An upgraded solar panel converts solar energy more efficiently than ever, offering potentially infinite battery life. 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.</p><ul><li>S-series’ smaller case is more comfortable and offers a more accurate heart rate signal on smaller wrists</li><li>Power Glass™ solar panel lets you go longer between charges, 6 hours to 80 days longer – runtime is feature dependent</li><li>Sun gauge displays solar charge and daily sun exposure</li><li>Multi-GNSS signal reception supports: GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite constellations, providing a faster and more accurate positioning and elevation data</li><li>Satellite caching saves satellite data, for fast, accurate satellite signal in any terrain</li><li>Tilt compensated 3-axis electronic compass shows your heading even when you are stationary, ensuring that you are always facing the right direction</li><li>Barometric altimeter tracks ascents, descents and total elevation changes</li><li>Storm alarm tracks pressure changes and alerts you when it’s time to find shelter.

Garmin Instinct 2S Solar

Polycarbonate is inexpensive and light, with good clarity and wear-resistance. Mineral crystal glass offers greater clarity and significantly greater wear-resistance. Sapphire crystal is better still for clarity and wear-resistance.

Indicates the degree of protection against liquid. IP X1: Dripping water while in normal operating orientation; IP X4: Splashing water; IP X5: Water jets; IP X6: Powerful water jets; IP X7: Immersion up to 1m ≤ 30 minutes; IP X8: Suitable for submersion as specified by manufacturer.

Calculated based on data from a heart rate monitor.

Displays calorie expenditure during activity, based on heart rate monitor data. 

Monitors pedalling cadence and measures pedalling strokes per minute.

A coded instrument ensures no interference between your chest strap and your watch, necessary if you are training in busy gyms or trails where other signals may be encountered.

Displays beats per minute during activity.

Automatically pauses timer when you stop or go below a specified pace.

Pauses the timer when slowing or stopping, and automatically resumes when moving again.

Barometer function helps forecast weather trends. An altimeter can provide one line of position for location on a topo map, useful if the GPS isn't working.

A basic set of map data that is included with the GPS. Basemap detail may vary from unit to unit.

Ensures seamless digital wireless communication between ANT+ devices. For example, data from an ultra-low power wireless sensor can be displayed on a bike computer or smartphone, then downloaded to a PC, etc.

Allows user to monitor training goals with either a virtual partner or alarms.

An online community where members upload, analyze and share activity data.

Attaches to your shoe, captures your running data (i.e., pace, distance), and transmits it to your heart rate monitor or GPS.

A POI (point of interest) is a specific location that someone may find interesting (i.e., favourite viewpoint, best coffee stop before the trailhead). The custom POI feature allows the user to load only the POI's that interest them onto their GPS unit.

Want an easy jog? A fast-paced ride? A workout with lots of variety to keep you on your toes? With programmable workouts you can tailor your training to match whatever you are looking for on a particular day.

Automatically triggers a new lap after reaching a specified difference. 

An electronic compass allows the user to view their heading in situations where they are either standing still or moving too slowly for the GPS to detect.

These units allow you to add maps, so you can mark and name waypoints and create routes on your PC, and then upload the map of your choice to your GPS.
