Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is a rugged, solar charging GPS smartwatch featuring bold colors, smart notifications, 24/7 health monitoring, Multi-GNSS Support and more.

The whole new Garmin Instinct 2X Solar represents the most durable and reliable GPS watch built to withstand the toughest environments. The fiber-reinforced polymer case adds strength and durability, and the chemically-strengthened, scratch-resistant display is high-contrast enough to read in bright sunlight, so you can take it with you to the extremes you face every day. Plus, the fully vented silicone bands include two independent, removable keeper loops to ensure a secure fit and to keep you from getting caught on things. Built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter plus multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) support helps track in more challenging environments than GPS alone. The Instinct GPS watch monitors your heart rate, activity and stress throughout the day, so you know how much you do - and how hard you’re working to do it. When you’re ready to train, we’ve got you covered with preloaded activity profiles for running, biking, swimming and more. Smart notifications let you leave your phone in your pocket. Pair your phone with Instinct and our Garmin Connect online fitness community for automatic uploads, live tracking and the GroupTrack feature. Or, pair with the Garmin Explore website and app to plan adventures before you head out.
