Garmin launches Instinct 2 series watches in India

American consumer electronics major Garmin released the new line of Instinct 2 series in India.

Garmin Instinct 2 boasts MIL-STD-810G certification, meaning it is capable of sustaining wide-range of environmental conditions such as low pressure for altitude testing; exposure to high and low temperatures plus temperature shock (both operating and in storage); rain (including windblown and freezing rain); humidity, fungus, salt fog for rust testing; sand and dust exposure; explosive atmosphere; leakage; acidic atmosphere, acceleration; shock and transport shock; gunfire vibration and random vibration.

Also, it comes with a 10ATM water resistance rating, and this means, the device can be taken for a deep dive in to the ocean up to 100 meters.

The new Garmin Watch comes in two sizes— a larger 45mm bezel and a new Instinct 2S with a smaller 40mm bezel.

It comes with advanced sensors to track biometric vitals such as blood oxygen, calories burned, heart rate, respiration rate, sleep score, and women’s health including menstrual cycle. Also, it offers a sleep score and can track stress.

Besides the standard health tracking, it offers more details such as VO2 Max, Fitness Age, Training Status/Load/Effect, Recovery Time, HIIT, and Daily Suggested Workout.
