Obstacle Course activity addition<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the Instinct 2X Solar is the first to offer <\/span>Obstacle Course Racing<\/span> as an activity, which includes running segments and obstacles of various types. This activity will allow athletes to manually record obstacle splits and once obstacles are marked for the first lap, they will be automatically <\/span>tracked<\/span>for the <\/span>remaining laps<\/span>. The Obstacle Course activity will include <\/span>the <\/span>number of runs on a particular course, run times, number of obstacles, time spent on each obstacle, run metrics for run splits (distance, pace, cadence, stride length, etc.), elevation profile, heart rate and distance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Purpose-built to conquer the mission<\/span><\/p>\n

The Instinct 2X Solar \u2013 Tactical Edition is packed with features specific to tactical operations including Jumpmaster and tactical preloaded activities, projected waypoints, dual-position GPS formatting and <\/span>N<\/span>ight-<\/span>V<\/span>ision <\/span>C<\/span>ompatibility. Users can also enable <\/span>S<\/span>tealth <\/span>M<\/span>ode, which prevents sharing of GPS position and disables wireless communication. When in stealth mode, GPS location is visible on the watch<\/span> face<\/span> but is not saved to the device memory or shared. This allows for training functionality in areas with location security concerns without revealing the location.<\/span><\/p>\n

To lead the way during night operations, the multi-LED flashlight on the Instinct 2X Solar \u2013 Tactical Edition illuminates in either white or a dedicated green. Users will find the green light useful in maintaining their eyes\u2019 natural night vision. <\/span><\/p>\n
