Garmin has had a busy start to the year.we have launched Garmin Venu 2 Plus, Phoenix 7 and Garmin Epix Gen 2.
One of the watches that people are eager to launch is the new Instinct 2.
The original proved to be a popular release as an affordable Fenix with a solid Casio G-Shock aesthetic.
The new Garmin Instinct 2 should be out soon, and one German site has been a little over-eager and released the product page early.
I’ll do a more detailed comparison in the near future, but the new watch has a higher resolution, new Garmin Elevate 4 sensor, solar, and costs €450, or around £380.

Garmin INSTINCT 2 Solar Include Free Komoot World Package
The Instinct 2 Solar takes smartwatches to the next level. Garmin’s outdoor watches are reliable companions for your everyday adventures in the city or nature. Best of all: Thanks to the latest solar technology, the Instinct 2’s battery lasts almost forever in smartwatch mode. In GPS mode, battery life is up to 48 hours. Perfect for anyone who wants to use a sports watch 24/7. Anyone who travels in multiple ways can look forward to the watch’s wealth of features. The training area includes various exercise apps such as HIIT, yoga or triathlon from the start, but it is also possible to record various body values with the exercise watch. From heart rate monitors to VO2 max, the maximum amount of oxygen absorbed per minute during exercise, to Body Battery™ status and various other fitness tracking features like pedometer or intensity minutes. This makes it possible to do interval training or prepare for the next marathon through the link. Each training day can be perfectly adapted to individual needs.
The Instinct 2 Solar also shines with its focus on the outdoors. GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO satellite navigation systems are supported, so you are safe on your global travels. A built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter help determine accurate path and position. Various outdoor leisure activities, such as mountain climbing, are tailored to the respective activity. Route and track navigation, elevation profiles or return-to-origin functionality greatly simplifies every track, especially in unfamiliar terrain. No matter how demanding, the lenses’ Power Glass™ can withstand some pressure, and the military standard MIL-STD-810G also shows that smartwatches have exceptional resilience. Transflective MIP displays require very little power and can also be viewed in bright ambient light. The watch is water resistant up to 10 ATM, which is up to 100 meters or 10 bars of pressure.
Of course, popular smart features for daily use are also indispensable, so this outdoor watch comes with Garmin Pay, smart notifications, music, weather and calendar functions, and can connect to other devices via ANT+ and Bluetooth. Therefore, the Instinct 2 Solar is perfect for all athletes and outdoor adventurers who want exceptionally long battery life and maximum flexibility. With this smartwatch, you can forget about regular charging!
