FAQ
Q: What surf-specific metrics does the Instinct 2 Surf Edition track?
A: The Instinct 2 Surf Edition automatically tracks waves surfed, maximum speed achieved during rides, distance paddled, and total session duration. It also provides integrated tide data to help you plan optimal surf sessions based on tidal conditions.
Q: How long does the battery last in GPS surf tracking mode?
A: In standard GPS mode used for surf tracking, the Instinct 2 delivers up to 30 hours of continuous use. In smartwatch mode without active GPS, battery life extends to an impressive 28 days, and you can achieve up to 70 hours in Max Battery GPS mode.
Q: Is this watch suitable for ocean swimming and diving?
A: Yes, the Instinct 2 Surf Edition is water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 metres), making it suitable for swimming, surfing, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. However, it is not rated for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports like wakeboarding.
Q: Can I see the display clearly in bright sunlight on the beach?
A: Absolutely. The monochrome transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display with Power Glass lens is specifically designed for exceptional sunlight visibility. Unlike AMOLED screens that can wash out in direct sunlight, this display becomes more readable in bright conditions.
Q: Does this watch work with my smartphone for notifications?
A: Yes, when paired with your compatible smartphone via the Garmin Connect app, the Instinct 2 displays smart notifications including calls, texts, and app alerts. This allows you to stay connected without constantly checking your phone during surf sessions.
Q: What health monitoring features are included beyond surf tracking?
A: The Instinct 2 provides comprehensive 24/7 health monitoring including wrist-based heart rate tracking, advanced sleep analysis with sleep stages, all-day stress tracking, Body Battery energy monitoring, and respiration tracking to give you complete insight into your wellness.
Q: Can I replace the battery when it eventually degrades?
A: Yes, as an authorised Garmin retailer, Cassims & Co. can assist with battery replacement services when needed. We recommend contacting our watch servicing team to arrange professional battery service to maintain water resistance integrity and warranty coverage.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water after each surf session or exposure to salt water to prevent corrosion and salt buildup on sensors and charging ports.
- Clean the watch case and strap regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with fresh water. For stubborn dirt or sunscreen residue, use mild soap and rinse thoroughly.
- Dry the watch completely before charging, ensuring the charging contacts are free from moisture, salt, and debris to maintain proper electrical connection.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals including solvents, perfumes, insect repellents, and chemical sunscreens which may damage the polymer case and silicone strap.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to preserve battery life and material integrity.
- Check the strap regularly for wear, especially if frequently exposed to salt water and UV radiation. Replace the strap if you notice cracking, excessive stretching, or compromised integrity.
- Update the watch firmware regularly through the Garmin Connect app to ensure optimal performance, bug fixes, and access to the latest features and surf activity profiles.
- If the watch is not responding correctly or surf metrics seem inaccurate, perform a soft reset by holding the appropriate button combination as detailed in your user manual.
- For professional servicing, battery replacement, or technical issues, contact Cassims & Co.'s authorised service department rather than attempting repairs yourself, which may void your warranty.
