Why just carry out the mission? Own it with Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition. This bold, rugged GPS smartwatch is built to U.S. military standard (MIL-STD-810), water-rated to 10 ATM and features solar charging for unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode when exposed to 3 hours of direct sunlight (50,000 lux) per day. Dedicated tactical features, such as night vision goggle compatibility, waypoint projection and dual-position GPS format, keep you mission-ready. Stealth mode lets you go dark by disabling wireless communication and data sharing. Count on multi-band signal reception technology to provide more accurate positioning, and multi-GNSS support to provide more reliable service in challenging environments. Stay ready for anything with all-day health monitoring for energy levels, stress, sleep, Pulse Ox, heart rate and more (this is not a medical device, and data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked. Pulse Ox not available in all countries).
