Garmin has launched two new smartwatches in India under its ‘Garmin Instinct 2 Series’. The company is refreshing its ‘Instinct’ series after two years, and the new lineup includes two models – Garmin Instinct 2S with 40mm dial and Garmin Instinct 2 with 45mm dial. Both models include special edition units like the Instinct 2/2S Solar, Instinct 2 Camo Edition and Instinct 2 Solar Tactical Edition. The Solar variant is said to offer ‘unlimited battery’ backup. Garmin also launched the Garmin Fenix 7 and Garmin Epix smartwatches in the country a few weeks back. The Garmin Instinct 2, on the other hand, debuted globally last month.
