Newly improvised battery life and solar-powered Garmin smartwatches, Garmin Instinct 2 Series and Garmin Instinct 2 Solar are now available in six different models ranging from RM 1,630 to RM2,330. These models come in a variety of colorways and health monitoring features to fit the lifestyle of the consumers. 

The robust batteries in the Instinct 2 Series are capable of powering up the smartwatch for up to four weeks of continuous usage while some of the solar-powered Instinct 2 Solar is promised to power up the smartwatch for a lifetime. Consumers who look forward to having a slimmer bezel of 40mm with the new Instinct 2 series, will not be missing out on any features as compared to the traditional Garmin 45mm bezel. 

Mr. Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia, said, “The Instinct 2 Series is built to be bold and challenges you to stand out from the crowd.” He added, “but there is more than meets the eye with the Instinct 2 Series. It combines adventurous colours with Garmin’s industry-leading wrist-based technology to be more than just a smartwatch – the Instinct 2 becomes a trusted tool to help you live life on your terms.” 

Traditional colourways such as Deep Orchid, Poppy and Neo-Tropic are now outshined by Garmin’s latest designs for smartwatches. As for the standard model for the Instinct 2 Solar – Surf, Tactical and Camo editions will be offered to the consumers to choose from. Referring back to the previous Instinct and Instinct Solar Series model, the current series will also inherit the military standard 810 for thermal and shock resistance as well as a water-resistance rating of 100 meters to maintain the durability of the smartwatches. In addition to this, Garmin has included a higher resistant glass that was chemically engineered, in all of the Instinct 2 series lineup.

The new Solar, Surf, Tactical and Camo editions come in with different purposes to accommodate the consumer’s lifestyle. Below are the detailed features of the few editions. 

  • Surf Editions – Only available for Non-solar Instinct 2 and Instinct 2S smartwatches, the surf editions are dedicated to watersports activities such as surfing, windsurfing and kiteboarding. With it being able to keep the users notified about the ocean and tides conditions, users can also review their activities by using the built-in Surfline Sessions.
  • Tactical Editions – Military build has never been more loved when it comes to rugged smartwatches. The Instinct 2 Solar, Tactical Edition brings in features such as a Kill Switch, Stealth Mode, Night Vision Goggle Compatibility, Dual Format Position Coordinates, and Jumpmaster Activity mode. This edition will also be available in Coyote Tan or Black.
  • Camo Editions – Allow users to camouflage with the jungle alongside with camo edition of the Graphite and Mist Camo patterns on the smartwatch.
