Garmin Instinct 2S Solar 40mm Sports Watch, Graphite

The Garmin Instinct 2S Solar is a GPS smartwatch constructed for durability in demanding conditions. Its 40mm fiber-reinforced polymer case is paired with a Power Glass lens, which uses solar energy to extend battery life between charges. The monochrome, memory-in-pixel (MIP) display is designed for clear visibility in bright sunlight and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. For location tracking, the device utilizes multi-GNSS support, accessing GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite systems to provide reliable positional data during outdoor activities.

An integrated sensor suite provides data for health and performance monitoring. The watch includes a wrist-based heart rate monitor, a Pulse Ox sensor for blood oxygen saturation estimation, and a barometric altimeter for precise elevation data. This hardware supports a range of training metrics, including VO₂ Max and recovery time analysis, alongside specific profiles for activities like running, swimming, and cycling. It also offers continuous wellness tracking features such as sleep stage analysis and stress monitoring through the Garmin Connect platform.
