Some other more original ones are worth looking into a little more in depth.
An XXL size
If you are already familiar with the Garmin brand, you know that the “X” nomenclature corresponds to the latter’s name of a large format model. And, it is the case to say it, because the Instinct X collection will offer timepiece models whose diameter will reach 57 mm. A first for the American watch manufacturer, which broke its record here.

If you already seem seduced by this brand new collection, you are probably waiting to know the price of the models in the latter.
To give you an idea, the watches of the Instinct 2 and 2S range available on the market are between 300 euros, for the classic version, and 400 euros for the solar version.
Thus, for the Garmin Instinct 2X, it is likely to expect a slightly higher price than its big sisters. But don’t panic, this should not exceed 500 euros in order to remain accessible.
