Warranty
- This Garmin Instinct 2 carries a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when purchased from an authorised Garmin retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The Garmin warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions during the warranty period.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, dents, or cosmetic damage to the case, bezel, lens, or strap.
- Battery degradation due to normal use over time is not covered, as rechargeable lithium-ion batteries naturally lose capacity with charge cycles.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating buttons underwater, exceeding the rated water resistance depth, or damage to seals due to impact, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, drops, crushing, improper use, or failure to follow care instructions is not covered under the manufacturer warranty.
- Unauthorised repairs, modifications, or servicing by non-Garmin authorised technicians will void the warranty entirely.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Garmin retailer and requires proof of purchase (original receipt or invoice).
- To claim warranty service, contact Cassims & Co. with your proof of purchase, and we will facilitate the warranty process through Garmin South Africa's authorised service network.
- Warranty service may include repair or replacement of defective components at Garmin's discretion; replacement units may be new or refurbished to Garmin's standards.
- This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have additional rights which vary by jurisdiction in South Africa.
Care Guide
- Clean the watch regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with fresh water, particularly after exposure to chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, cosmetics, or perspiration which can damage the silicone strap over time.
- Rinse the watch under fresh running water after swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth before storage.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature shocks, such as wearing it in a sauna immediately after being in cold conditions, as rapid temperature changes may compromise the water-resistance seals.
- Do not press any buttons whilst the watch is submerged underwater to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant seals.
- Remove the watch before showering with hot water, as steam and soap can degrade the silicone strap and potentially affect the seals over time.
- Charge the watch using only the supplied Garmin USB charging cable in ambient temperatures between 0°C and 45°C for optimal battery health and longevity.
- Avoid charging the watch in direct sunlight or in extremely hot environments, as excessive heat during charging can reduce battery lifespan.
- If the watch will not be used for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% and store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
- Inspect the silicone strap regularly for signs of wear, cracking, or degradation, particularly if you engage in high-intensity activities or frequent water exposure.
- The silicone strap is replaceable with genuine Garmin 22mm QuickFit bands, available in various colours and materials to personalise your Instinct 2.
- Whilst the Corning Gorilla Glass lens is highly scratch-resistant, avoid deliberate contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp objects to maintain optimal display clarity.
- Software updates are released periodically by Garmin to enhance functionality and fix bugs; connect your watch to the Garmin Connect app regularly to ensure you're running the latest firmware.
- If you notice any irregularities in performance, water resistance concerns, or battery degradation, consult an authorised Garmin service centre for professional assessment.
