Satellite Settings You can change the satellite settings to customize the satellite systems used for each activity. For more information about satellite systems, go to garmin.com/aboutGPS. Hold MENU, select Activities & Apps, select an activity, select the activity settings, and select Satellites. NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities. Off: Disables satellite systems for the activity. Use Default: Enables the watch to use the default system setting for satellites (System Settings, page 81). GPS Only: Enables the GPS satellite system. GPS + GLONASS: Enables the GPS and GLONASS satellite systems for more accurate position information in situations with poor sky visibility. Using GPS and another satellite system together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only. GPS + GALILEO: Enables the GPS and GALILEO satellite systems for more accurate position information in situations with poor sky visibility. Using GPS and another satellite system together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only. UltraTrac: Records track points and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data updates are less important. Training Primary Training Device When you use more than one Garmin device with your Garmin Connect account, you can choose which device is the primary data source for everyday use and for training purposes. From the Garmin Connect app menu, select Settings. Primary Training Device: Sets the priority data source for training metrics like your training status and load focus. Primary Wearable: Sets the priority data source for daily health metrics like steps and sleep. This should be the watch you wear most often. TIP: For the most accurate results, Garmin recommends that you sync often with your Garmin Connect account. Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your Instinct 2 watch using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your watch to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, you can record a ride with an Edge® bike computer, and view your activity details and overall training load on your Instinct 2 watch. Sync your Instinct 2 watch and other Garmin devices to your Garmin Connect account. TIP: You can set a primary training device and primary wearable in the Garmin Connect app (Primary Training Device, page 30). Recent activities and performance measurements from your other Garmin devices appear on your Instinct 2 watch. Workouts You can create custom workouts that include goals for each workout step and for varied distances, times, and calories. During your activity, you can view workout-specific data screens that contain workout step information, such as the workout step distance or average step pace. You can create and find more workouts using Garmin Connect, or select a training plan that has built-in workouts and transfer them to your watch. You can schedule workouts using Garmin Connect. You can plan workouts in advance and store them on your watch. 30 Training
