Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition 45mm Sports Watch, Black

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition is a GPS smartwatch constructed for durability in demanding environments. Its 45 mm fiber-reinforced polymer case and chemically-hardened glass meet military standards for thermal and shock resistance, while a power glass lens facilitates solar charging to extend battery life. This model includes specialized features such as a stealth mode to disable wireless communication, compatibility with night vision goggles, and a monochrome memory-in-pixel display engineered for clear readability in direct sunlight.

The device provides comprehensive health and performance monitoring using an optical heart rate sensor and a Pulse Ox blood oxygen sensor. It tracks metrics including sleep stages and stress levels, while providing athletic data on VO₂ Max, recovery time, and training load. A range of preloaded activity profiles supports specific data collection for sports like running, swimming, and cycling. Navigation is supported by a multi-GNSS system (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), a barometric altimeter, and a 3-axis compass, with all data syncing to the Garmin Connect app for detailed analysis.
