Built to U.S. military standards (MIL-STD-810), these watches are ready for any challenge.
Speaking about the new smartwatches, Sky Chen, Regional Director of Garmin for South-East Asia & India said, “We’re thrilled to introduce the new Garmin Instinct 2X smartwatch series in India, which is a perfect blend of unique style and functionality.

Flashlight to conquer the nights
The Instinct 2X Solar features a built-in LED flashlight that offers adjustable intensities. Whether you’re setting up camp or running in low-light conditions, you can choose between red or adjustable white light for enhanced visibility and situational awareness. In strobe mode, the light matches your running cadence, alternating between white and red to ensure you’re easily seen and can confidently continue your activities.
The Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition features a multi-LED flashlight that offers both white and dedicated green illumination options. The inclusion of a green light is particularly beneficial as it helps users maintain their natural night vision during night operations.
