Why I think the Garmin Instinct 2 is a great buy for Cyber Monday
Garmin has a lot of watches, aiming to appeal to a wide range of different users and the Instinct is all about the outdoors. It offers superior protection while also offering those rugged looks like a Casio G-Shock. One of the attractive elements is that secondary display window, which can highlight other important information - it looks great.
The case is reinforced, offering shock and drop protection, thermal protection and waterproofing to 100m. The display is scratch resistant thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass to keep it looking great even in the toughest conditions.
Sports and activity tracking is at the heart of this device, of course, and it's fully equipped with heart rate and GPS, while there's also a 3-axis compass and altimeter to give you all the data you need. It will provide blood oxygen levels, track your sleep - basically, monitor everything you do - to get a complete picture of your exercise and recovery, supporting Garmin Body Battery.
It's connected, syncing to Garmin Connect on your phone, allowing notifications, while also being compatible with other Garmin sensors. Built-in profiles let you pick and track your favorite sports, while the battery life will allow for 30 hours of GPS tracking - or 28 days in smartwatch mode.

Get up to 5 days battery life with this smartwatch designed for the outdoors.But with all those technical details out of the way, it's the way it looks that attracts people to it. It's chunkier than the Garmin Forerunner - not to mention being more affordable - so it's a win-win watch. It does come in various colors and versions, and depending on where you live, you might prefer a Solar version for longer battery life, but the standard model is slightly cheaper, so it gets my approval.
