## Description

Why just carry out the mission? Own it with Instinct® 2 Solar – Tactical Edition. This rugged GPS smartwatch is built to U.S. military standard (MIL-STD-810), is water-rated to 100 meters and features solar charging, which gives you unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode (assuming all-day wear with 3 hours per day outside in 50,000 lux conditions). Dedicated tactical features, such as night vision goggle compatibility, waypoint projection and dual-position GPS format, keep you mission ready. Stealth mode lets you go dark by disabling wireless communication and data sharing. Multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) help you track in more challenging environments than with GPS alone. All-day health monitoring lets you keep track of your general wellness — helping you to stay ready for anything (this device is intended to give an estimation of your activity and metrics; it is not a medical device).

Review: BADASS WATCH! - I’ve had smart watches I was issued through the military before so that’s nothing new to me. This is therefore a more I formed review. When I got this watch I was pleasantly surprised by ease of use with respect to swapping through the menus and selecting what you need. Does take some time perhaps to memorize where to go for each item but that is to be expected. I mostly wanted this for the GPS with outdoor activity and the heart rate and fitness features. (Fitbit only ever broke after 3 months, that is to say stopped working out of the blue). The compass is on point and the heart rate monitor is spot on as well. One of the coolest things about this is that it connects to an app and you can look for even better watch faces that have exactly what you want to see on them instead of just the default, that’s the kind of support GARMIN gives with this. I got the watch face that displays heart rate, so I don’t have to swap through menus or use the app to see it in real time. The fit is great and the battery life is as well. You should be aware that some features use up more battery than others, such as active GPS etc, so if you use that you can expect the battery to drain a little bit more quickly. The only adjustment I needed to make was the charging cable, I needed to pinch the lip of the plug with needle nose pliers ever so GENTLY just to adjust them the tiniest amount so it seated properly in the watch which is one of the pictures. I am very happy with this purchase!
Review: Great Buy! - This watch is amazing. Love the features.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you know if you are purchasing 40mm face or 45mm? Can’t find it in the description**
A: Be careful that when you change any of the options such as size or color, you’ve likely moved yourself out of your desired model to a similar one.  For instance, I think the Dezl edition is only available as black/45mm and changing either one of those will slide you into the Instinct 2S or something similar, which lack the truck-specific features.

**Q: Is it compatible with samsung galaxy s20?**
A: Yes, the Instinct 2s is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S20.

**Q: Does the instinct 2 s have the respiration rate feature? i'm seeing conflicting information on this product page vs. the garmin website.**
A: Yes, the Instinct 2S will monitor respiration. 

For more information please view our Support Center, https://support.garmin.com/en-US/. You can also contact Product Support or email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny

**Q: Does the gps show a map or just the coordinates?**
A: I have this watch in the solar tactical variant. You can load maps in beforehand using the Garmin explor app on your phone where it will guide you from waypoint to waypoint, or have it track your route and guide you back along the same route. It doesn't show topology or anything other than that on the watch itself (use the excellent detailed Garmin explore app for that), but you can see a predetermined route and follow along on the watch. It also shows distance to the next waypoint which is helpful for motivation/pacing on long hikes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Buy!
*by S***O on February 11, 2026*

This watch is amazing. Love the features.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome watch for the average person.
*by A***R on August 13, 2025*

Awesome watch everyone should consider owning. Unless you are constantly tracking and GPS it will last 3 weeks or better battery life. Really awesome for day to day life and the app is simple and great. Couldn't imagine not having it. Has almost every feature you could ask for using on a day by day basis and easy to use/ navigate.
