In addition to the Garmin Instinct 2X and Instinct 2X Solar, Garmin is preparing to release another smartwatch with more features called Garmin Instinct 2X Tactical. The wearable got a Rugged circular shape and is equipped with several features that should any good watch has.
Roland Quandt, a well-known leaker of tech products, has recently revealed promotional images of the upcoming Instinct 2X Tactical smartwatch. This new release follows the Instinct 2X Solar, which Quandt had leaked just a few days earlier. Like its predecessor, the Garmin Instinct 2X Tactical boasts a rugged design that is perfect for outdoor activities, and it also retains its MIL-STD 810 certification and 10 ATM water resistance rating.
One of the most noticeable features of the Garmin Instinct 2X Tactical is its five physical buttons. Garmin has included ‘CTRL’, ‘MENU’, and ‘ABC’ buttons on one side, and ‘GPS’ and ‘SET’ on the other. The design has been tweaked slightly, with exposed case screws and built-in torch functionality, adding to its rugged and tactical appeal.
Another significant feature of the Instinct 2X Tactical is its Solar charging capability, which provides extended battery life. However, there is no information yet about the release date or pricing of the Instinct 2X Tactical. Based on recent Garmin releases, it is expected that the Instinct 2X series will be more expensive than its predecessors. For example, the Forerunner 965 is priced around US$100 and €100 more than the Forerunner 955, and a similar price gap exists between the Forerunner 255 and 265.
Overall! the Instinct 2X Tactical seems to be a promising addition to Garmin’s lineup of smartwatches. Its rugged design, MIL-STD 810 certification, and 10 ATM water resistance rating make it suitable for outdoor activities, while its five physical buttons and built-in torch functionality add to its tactical appeal. We look forward to hearing more about the release date and pricing of this new smartwatch.
