The Watch

Garmin crafts GPS-powered watches built to keep up with your everyday life. Packed with smart features, these timepieces are essential companions for any activity. A perfect example of that innovative spirit is the Instinct® 2X Solar, Tactical Edition, Black 010-02805. Dressed in black, it features a round case measuring 50 mm in diameter and 14.80 mm thick, crafted in fiber-reinforced polymer. Weighing just 67 grams, it sports a bezel secured by 4 screws bearing markings for the watch's multiple functions, all controlled by 5 pushers positioned on either side of the case. It also features a Power Glass™ solar lens for easy dial reading. Finally, this model offers water resistance to 10 ATM, ensured by its snap-in case back featuring a charging area and a heart rate sensor.

The Dial

With its round shape, this dial clearly displays all the watch's functions. Round in design and featuring a digital display, it comes with an LED lamp that proves useful during nighttime outings. It includes a touchscreen measuring 27 x 27 mm with a resolution of 176 x 176 pixels. You can choose the theme that suits your style, and it features markings for key functions to help you navigate more easily. As its signature touch, the brand places its name at 12 o'clock.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 100 meters - that's 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece is as capable in the water as it is at a black-tie event. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool, even during an intense swim session. That said, our watch experts want to make one thing clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or use with high-pressure cleaning equipment. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and keep the pushers and crown dry while submerged.
