Instinct 2 estimated sweat loss ?

Hi,

I use the Instinct 2 for two days now and I wonder, if there's no estimated sweat loss integrated? I added the hydration tracking widget and you can even set it to auto increase, but the workouts don't show any estimated sweat loss data and so the hydration goal stays at the same set level. Am I missing something, or does the instinct 2 series lack this quite simple feature (even my old vivoactive had this)

cheers, Chris

I agree. Loved this feature on my 745. Did not even think about it not being on the Instinct 2. Please add it!

According to this: https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=i3oQUMQucx46gBclVkvoH8, it is not available in G1 nor Instinct 2. All the info necessary to calculate it are there, so maybe it could be added if people request it.

I think this is in GC on the web, not on mobile. I may be wrong

I remember a short time when I first got my Instinct 2 that this actually worked, and then a subsequent update removed it. Been mildly annoying me every time I finish a workout ever since.

Agree, it would be great if we had sweat loss data

Would like to also state I would love to see this implemented on the Instinct 2 series! My bikecomputer has the function so I know what I'm missing out on.
