Smartwatches are so complicated — and so expensive — that we spend more money on armor-like cases and screen protectors than we do on a full watch. However, if you are an outdoor adventurer, you may be hesitant to take your expensive smartwatch with you.
The Garmin Instinct 2 presents no such problem. In fact, it’s specifically designed and built to be tough enough to accompany you on your rock-climbing, mountain-biking, triathlon-running adventures. And it’s only $200 during their 33% off sale on AmazonThis definitely falls into the “expenses like accessories that make your Apple Watch look good” category.
Know where you are going
The Garmin Instinct 2 has more eyes on the sky than most smartwatches — In addition to GPS, it has access to Galileo and GLONASS multiple-satellite navigation systems to keep you safe and connected even in remote challenging locations.
The ABC sensors — altimeter for altitude data, barometer for viewing weather, and 3-axis electronic compass — can be literal lifesavers when you’re out in the worst conditions. And if you’re out on a long trek and suddenly find you’ve lost your way, Garmin Instinct 2 has trackback routing to guide you back the way you came. When you pair your Garmin Instinct 2 with your smartphone, your live location can be sent to your contacts for an extra layer of security.
Training the Titans
Just like those fancy smartwatches, the Garmin Instinct 2 is packed with 24/7 health and fitness monitoring features. The Instinct 2 tracks your heart rate, pulse, blood oxygen, breathing, sleep and more. It measures your VO2 max, a term familiar to endurance athletes. VO2 max is the amount of oxygen your body consumes during exercise, and a higher VO2 max is indicative of greater endurance. Garmin Instinct 2 even adjusts to changes in heat and altitude that can adversely affect your VO2 max score.
Garmin Instinct 2 is much more than a smartwatch for hardcore adrenaline junkies. It receives texts, emails and alerts when paired with your compatible smartphone, and you can pair it with custom watch faces downloadable from the Garmin IQ Store. Downloadable sports-specific apps also cover low-fatality pastimes like golf, yoga, pilates and more.
Amazon’s $200 deal on the Garmin Instinct 2 Even if your taste for sports is minimal, is there a chance to ditch the hefty price tags of the bigger smartwatches and straps for a high-performance fitness wearable that can take on any challenge you throw at it? more polite
