If smartwatches make your heart race, then the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Black is just right for you. It features a built-in heart rate monitor, allowing you to keep an eye on your health at all times. This smart watch has a plastic strap that looks good and is very durable.
The watch itself is made of plastic. While it's less luxurious than aluminum, it is particularly sturdy and sometimes even shock-resistant. This smart watch accurately tracks how far you've run, so you always know the distance from your home to, for example, the supermarket.
The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Black automatically keeps track of all your triathlon data, if you wish. You can then compare and view all these statistics. The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Black not only counts your steps and other activities throughout the day but also calculates how many calories you've burned.
Pay without taking your wallet out of your pocket with the contactless payment feature of the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Black. With the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Black, you can keep your phone in your pocket. All notifications will arrive on your smartwatch, so you are always informed about messages and calls, no matter where you are.
