Treat yourself to Garmin’s rugged Instinct 2 for less than $200 on Amazon

The impressive $100 discount first went live at the beginning of this month at Best Buy. But now, Amazon matches the offer, retailing the model at the same price. However, the regular Instinct 2 comes in limited quantities at its current 33% markdown. As far as we know, this is one of the most substantial discounts ever seen for this Garmin watch, mind you.

Bear in mind that Amazon holds the same deal, but quantities are limited over there. Another thing is that the largest e-commerce store offers the Camo Edition of this bad boy at its best price. At the time of writing, you can get the Instinct 2 (Camo Edition) at $100 off. This option may be better for people who like bold camouflage watch designs.

We should note from the start that Instinct 2 lacks some essential “smarts,” such as a touchscreen and a microphone. However, you can still get smart notifications when you pair it with your compatible phone. Another cool thing is that the timepiece supports Garmin Pay, allowing you to make contactless payments from your wrist.

The lack of a touchscreen and a microphone isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker, for this bad boy holds its own ground among other GPS smartwatches. You have a stellar battery life of up to 28 days, safety and tracking features, and many activity profiles. It can even track things like golf and virtual running!

The wearable also keeps track of your sleep, offers daily workout suggestions, monitors your heart rate and hydration levels, provides women’s health insights, and more. Still, if you’d prefer something more smartwatch-oriented, you might want to consider the Galaxy Watch 6 or an Apple alternative.

But if battery life and ruggedness are more important to you than answering phone calls from your wrist, know that you won’t make a wrong choice by picking the Instinct 2 or its Camo Edition.
