Frequently Asked Questions

What band size does the Garmin Instinct 2 use?

The Instinct 2 uses proprietary 22mm quick-release bands. These are not the same as QuickFit bands used by the Fenix series.

Can I use Fenix bands on the Instinct 2?

No. The Instinct 2 uses a different proprietary band attachment system than the Fenix series QuickFit system. The bands are not interchangeable.

Are Instinct 2 bands interchangeable with the original Instinct?

Yes. The Instinct 2 uses the same band attachment system as the original Instinct. Bands are cross-compatible between both generations.
