Nice apps and watchfaces for Instinct 2

Hello,

I think it would be good to share info about interesting stuff for Instinct 2.

Recently I was looking for good replacement of standard watchface. DC Rainmaker in one of his video clips recommended this one:

Looks very nice, has two charts, but it has limited options to display. It seems it is not updated for some time

Today I found this one:

It looks clean and has plenty of space to display data.

Hi, I have created a watchface for the Instinct 2 called Instinct Horizon. I tried a different approach than just showing data and wanted to bring a little more life to the display. Maybe one or the other…

There is not. A watch face developer creates different sized watch faces in order for it to work on other size Instinct 2 series…

Hi, I don't wanted to start a new post.

Is there a way to have instinct 2x watchface on the instinct 2? This one in particular

There is not. A watch face developer creates different sized watch faces in order for it to work on other size Instinct 2 series watches. IE: For the smallest size Instinct 2S, middle size Instinct 2, or for the largest size Instinct 2X.

See my earlier reply. You could always recreate it using the garmin watch face online builder. Might use little bit more battery.

But from what I can see, all Garmin Instinct 2S/2/2X have the same screen size 176x176. So why there's no way to use watchface from 2X on 2 or 2S watch?

2s has 156 x 156 !

And do they all have the same processor performance?
