With a newly improved, more rugged exterior and updated feature-rich interface, the Garmin Instinct 2 GPS Watch is the ideal companion for ultra-runners and mountain conquerors. Tested to meet military standards, the Instinct 2 is thermal, shock, and water-resistant up to 100 meters, and is more than capable of handling whatever runners can throw at it.

Along with improved materials, the Instinct 2 can now be easily configured from the convenience of your phone through the Garmin Connect App, and, in addition, the Connect IQ feature gives runners the ability to effortlessly download data sets, apps, and more from their device. Furthermore, runners will not need to rummage around to find their phone mid-adventure as Instinct 2 allows runners to receive all their alerts from the convenience of their watch.

The watch's 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, and multiple satellite options continue to work harmoniously together to provide runners with highly accurate tracking, while newly improved metrics and analytics function with Garmin Elevate™ technology to give runners all the data they need to maximize their training efforts. On the watch's monochrome high-contrast display, runners can personalize and customize every section of the display layout to see only the relevant information, and even create shortcuts to their most-used data sets. Finally, ultrarunners no longer need to fear running out of battery while wearing the Instinct 2 as the new Power manager mode helps extend the watch's already impressive battery life.
