GARMIN | INSTINCT 2s

Following the success of the purpose-built, rugged Instinct GPS-watch, the ID team was challenged with a complete redesign on the second generation. To appeal to a wider range of female users, the watch would again be available in the 45mm size as well as a new 40mm design.

ANTENNA CONSTRUCTION

Explored various construction methods for the antenna & bezel assemblies for both the 45mm and 40mm SKUs.

Landed on a design that would allow flexibility with a modular bezel to create other possible SKUs.

DISPLAY EXPLORATION

Both the 45mm and 40mm SKUs would utilize the same screen componentry. We conducted a quick lens-mask exploration on how to maximize the visible pixels as well as create creative UI breakups.
