FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the Instinct 2S and the standard Instinct 2?
A: The Instinct 2S is the smaller-sized variant with a 40mm case, designed for slimmer wrists and those who prefer a more compact profile. It offers the same rugged features and solar charging technology as the standard Instinct 2, but in a more wrist-friendly size.
Q: How does the solar charging work on this watch?
A: The Instinct 2S Solar features a power glass lens that captures solar energy to extend battery life. In smartwatch mode with adequate sun exposure, you can achieve up to 51 days of battery life, compared to 21 days without solar charging. The watch displays current solar intensity and charging status on the screen.
Q: What surf-specific features does the Surf Edition include?
A: The Surf Edition includes dedicated surf tracking that records wave count, maximum speed reached, and distance paddled during each session. It also integrates with Surfline® to deliver real-time surf conditions, forecasts, and cameras directly to your wrist, helping you plan the perfect session.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or diving?
A: Yes, the Instinct 2S Solar is water-rated to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports.

While highly accurate for fitness and wellness tracking, it should not replace medical devices for diagnostic purposes.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: The Instinct 2S Solar is designed for rugged use, but avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, solvents, or cleaning agents that may damage the polymer case or silicone strap.
- Water Exposure: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sand to prevent residue build-up. Dry thoroughly before charging.
- Solar Charging: For optimal solar charging performance, keep the watch face clean and expose it to direct sunlight regularly. A dirty or scratched lens reduces solar efficiency.
- Strap Maintenance: Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove sweat, dirt, and oils. Allow it to dry completely before wearing to prevent skin irritation.
- Screen Protection: While the display is scratch-resistant, avoid direct impacts with hard surfaces or abrasive materials. Consider applying a screen protector if you engage in high-impact activities.
- Battery Health: Charge the watch every few months even when not in use to maintain optimal battery health. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures during charging.
- Software Updates: Regularly update the watch firmware via the Garmin Connect app to ensure access to the latest features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the battery charge level between 20% and 80% for long-term storage.
- Sensor Calibration: Periodically calibrate the compass and barometric altimeter through the watch settings to maintain accurate navigation and elevation tracking.
