Garmin’s Instinct 2 sports watch, already released in February 2022, is getting an upgrade. The Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is a larger model that comes with, among other things, a flashlight and offers a battery life of 40 days – thanks to the solar panel, even longer operating times are possible in direct sunlight.
The Garmin Instinct 2X Solar in detail
That solar watches from Garmin offer long operating times, we have already seen when testing the noble Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. Now the Instinct 2 is also getting an upgrade. The new Garmin Instinct 2X Solar measures 50 mm x 50 mm x 14.5 mm and thus offers a diameter of 50 millimeters. At the same time, the sports watch, waterproof up to 10 ATM, weighs 67 grams.
One of the most important features is of course the option of charging via solar energy, thanks to which the 2X achieves up to 40 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. In energy-saving watch mode, even infinite autonomy is theoretically possible – if the sun plays along.

The black and white screen has a resolution of 176 x 176 pixels, measures 1.1 inches and is easy to read even in direct sunlight. Garmin also integrates an LED flashlight, which can optionally glow in white and red and can be adjusted to four levels in terms of brightness.
Pay on mobile, follow sports
Mobile payments are made with the NFC-enabled Garmin Instinct 2X Solar, of course, always via Garmin Pay. The watch faces are customizable and also offer, for example, smartphone notifications and various apps.
A heart rate and SpO2 sensor are also offered, as well as sleep tracking and various sport and health modes.
Pricing and availability
The Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is now available in stores at the recommended retail price starting at €449.99. The sports watch is offered in different versions and in a total of five different editions with additional functions. Further details can be found on the manufacturer’s official website.
