Instinct® 2 Solar, Graphite - 45mm
AVAILABLE FOR IN-STORE PICK-UP ONLY
The Garmin Instinct® 2 Solar GPS smartwatch is rugged, solar charging, tough enough to keep up with you, and unique enough to fit your style. Engineered for endurance, it is water-rated to 100 meters and is thermal and shock resistant. Solar charging means you can keep your experiences going without losing touch. Garmin's Surfline Sessions™ creates a video of every wave you ride in front of a Surfline camera while wearing a compatible Garmin watch— then sends it to your iPhone. Plus, with a fiber-reinforced polymer case and chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass, this device is built to endure. A well-priced smartwatch with lots of bells and whistles for those that live in the water.
