Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition Rugged GPS Watch
Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition Rugged GPS Watch — Product description
The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition is a rugged GPS smartwatch with a Power Glass solar lens that can run unlimited in smartwatch mode. It's rated to 10 ATM, built with a fiber-reinforced polymer bezel, and loaded with tactical features like stealth mode for serious time in the field.
The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition is built for people who spend real time outdoors and can't afford a watch that quits early. The Power Glass lens pulls in sunlight and stretches battery life to unlimited in smartwatch mode when you get enough sun, so charging cables stay in the drawer for weeks at a time.
Underneath the fiber-reinforced polymer bezel is a 0.9 inch memory-in-pixel display that stays readable in direct glare, and the whole watch carries a 10 ATM water rating that shrugs off rain, spray, and a swim to 100 meters. The Tactical Edition adds features built for the field, including a stealth mode and a night-vision-compatible display.
You get GPS tracking, Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity, and a 22 millimeter QuickFit band that swaps in seconds when you move from the water to the office. It's a straightforward, take-anywhere GPS watch that keeps working long after the weekend's over.
