Obstacle Course activity addition
In a groundbreaking move, the Instinct 2X Solar introduces the exhilarating Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) activity. Designed specifically for athletes, OCR combines running segments with a diverse range of obstacles. With this new activity, athletes can now accurately record their performance by tracking obstacle splits.
Once the obstacles are marked during the first lap, the Instinct 2X Solar automatically keeps tabs on them for the subsequent laps. This streamlined process eliminates the need for manual marking, allowing athletes to focus solely on their performance. The OCR activity provides comprehensive data including the number of runs completed on a specific course, run times, total number of obstacles tackled, time spent on each obstacle, and run metrics such as distance, pace, cadence, stride length, and more.
In addition to these performance metrics, the Instinct 2X Solar captures crucial information such as elevation profiles, heart rate data, and distance covered. With the inclusion of OCR as an activity, athletes can now push their limits, monitor their progress, and gain valuable insights to optimize their training and enhance their overall performance.

By harnessing the energy of the sun, this cutting-edge device offers an unprecedented level of longevity, empowering users to remain connected and explore with unwavering confidence.
The Instinct 2X Solar leverages its advanced solar charging technology, delivering virtually limitless battery life in smartwatch mode. This means users can stay seamlessly connected without worrying about running out of power. Even in scenarios where solar charging is not available, the Instinct 2X Solar excels in providing extended battery life across different modes.
In Expedition GPS Activity Mode, it boasts an astounding 60 days of battery life, enabling prolonged adventures without the need for frequent recharging. Additionally, the Battery Saver Watch Mode takes it a step further, stretching the battery life to an incredible 100 days. Even without solar charging, the Instinct 2X Solar impresses with up to 40 days of battery life in Smartwatch Mode.
Garmin’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is evident in the Instinct 2X Solar, setting a new benchmark in the industry. This groundbreaking device empowers individuals to push their boundaries, explore new horizons, and go further without limits, all while minimizing environmental impact.

Purpose-built to conquer the mission
Introducing the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition, a feature-packed timepiece designed specifically for tactical operations. This remarkable device is equipped with a range of tactical-focused features, including Jumpmaster and preloaded activities tailored for tactical use. With projected waypoints and dual-position GPS formatting, users can navigate with precision in even the most challenging environments. For added convenience, the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition is Night-Vision Compatible, ensuring optimal visibility in low-light conditions.
In situations where discretion is paramount, users can activate Stealth Mode, which prevents the sharing of GPS position and disables wireless communication. While in Stealth Mode, the watch face displays GPS location but does not save it to the device memory or share it with others. This enables training functionality in areas with location security concerns, allowing users to operate without compromising their location.
To illuminate the path during night operations, the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition features a multi-LED flashlight with both white and dedicated green lighting options. The green light preserves the user’s natural night vision, making it highly valuable in tactical scenarios.
The Instinct 2X Solar and the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition are now available in the Philippines. The suggested retail price for the Instinct 2X Solar is PHP 28,250, while the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition is priced at PHP 31,380.
