The Instinct 2\u2019s headline features<\/strong><\/h2>\n
One of the headline features is a claimed \u2018unlimited battery life\u2019 when the watch is used in certain modes, while this is the first time the Instinct range has been offered in two sizes (the Instinct 2 has a 45mm bezel, while the \/Instinct 2S has a 40mm bezel).<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll also get many of the Garmin features you\u2019re used to, like VO2 Max<\/a><\/strong>, Sleep Score, Fitness Age, Training Status\/Load\/Effect, Recovery Time, HIIT Workouts<\/a><\/strong> and Daily Suggested Workout.<\/p>\n
Beyond that, functions such as Hydration Tracking and Menstrual Cycle and Pregnancy Tracking are also available to add to the watch through the Garmin Connect IQ store.<\/p>\n
As you\u2019d expect, the Instinct 2 also comes preloaded with sports apps and activities for you to track your sessions, with a new multisport setting said to allow users to transition between activities while continuing to view total time and distance info.<\/p>\n
The inclusion of an Incident Detection feature is also interesting, which is designed to alert pre-programmed contacts in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\n
Unlimited battery life!?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Now back to that claim about battery life. This only applies to the 45mm Instinct 2 Solar model in smartwatch mode (not GPS mode), but supposedly it can just keep on going if it\u2019s exposed to three hours of sunlight (in 50,000 lux conditions) per day.<\/p>\n
The non-solar model meanwhile is said to provide up to four weeks of continuous use in smartwatch mode. In GPS mode that drops down to a period of up to 72 hours.<\/p>\n
Options, so many options!<\/strong><\/h2>\n
