I was looking at my watch for the umpteenth time when I realized it’s one of my most prized outdoor/shooting accessories and deserved a write-up.
The Garmin Instinct 2 watch incorporates a host of features typical for a high-performance watch but my favorite by far is the GPS function. By touching a button, you can record your track and later download it to your smart phone. I’ve used this feature across the U.S., Caribbean and Europe and found it works perfectly nearly every time. I love going back to see where the trail took me or the route of my latest meandering motorcycle journey.
The watch also includes an electronic compass and altimeter, along with a heart rate and sleep monitor used to calculate your overall stress level and body battery. This has proved helpful when traveling to remind yourself to slow down occasionally. Overall, this is one critical piece of kit I recommend to everyone.
MSRP: $199
