Review: Excelente reloj - Un bonito reloj, muy fácil de usar y configurar, el instructivo te da los pasos para usarlo y ya en el momento de encenderlo prácticamente te lleva de la mano. La gran diferencia entre el instintic 2X: el cristal y la carcasa tiene mayor resistencia a la abrasion, tracción y protección contra caídas y arañazos, aplicación de balística, surf, snorkel, y otras actividades que básicamente si no eres de deportes o actividades no te servirá mucho
Review: Amazing watch. Delivered before the expected date. - Thumbs up

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you know if you are purchasing 40mm face or 45mm? Can’t find it in the description**
A: Be careful that when you change any of the options such as size or color, you’ve likely moved yourself out of your desired model to a similar one.  For instance, I think the Dezl edition is only available as black/45mm and changing either one of those will slide you into the Instinct 2S or something similar, which lack the truck-specific features.

**Q: Is it compatible with samsung galaxy s20?**
A: Yes, the Instinct 2s is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S20.

**Q: Does the instinct 2 s have the respiration rate feature? i'm seeing conflicting information on this product page vs. the garmin website.**
A: Yes, the Instinct 2S will monitor respiration. 

For more information please view our Support Center, https://support.garmin.com/en-US/. You can also contact Product Support or email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny

**Q: Does the gps show a map or just the coordinates?**
A: I have this watch in the solar tactical variant. You can load maps in beforehand using the Garmin explor app on your phone where it will guide you from waypoint to waypoint, or have it track your route and guide you back along the same route. It doesn't show topology or anything other than that on the watch itself (use the excellent detailed Garmin explore app for that), but you can see a predetermined route and follow along on the watch. It also shows distance to the next waypoint which is helpful for motivation/pacing on long hikes.
