Morining Report and Training Readiness Instinct 2x

Hello everyone,

I received my Garmin Instinct 2x Solar on Friday. I have two questions about it:

1.) Unfortunately I don't get a Morning Report and I can't activate it in the menu. Strange, because even if I don't get any data yet I can activate the training status. Is this normal and if so when do I get the display "unlocked"? Is it possible that my software version is still 2.06? About the app updates the clock does not and today I must first buy an adapter dir the usb-c cable and try my luck via Garmin Express on the PC ... But the watch is advertised but with the feature Morning Report ?!

2) When is Training Readiness displayed? Does the display just show

up then?

  • The short answer is that you need to upgrade the watch system software - so get hold of the USB adaptor and connect your watch with Garmin Express. You will definitely receive system software 3.11 and possibly the latest system software 12.25.

    NB when I received my watch last week I did not get offered system software 12.25 as it has only partially been released - so I enrolled in the beta program and then installed 12.26 beta.

    After updating I'd recommend a soft reset (hold Ctrl button for 30 seconds, wait 10 sec then restart normally)

    1. On setting up the watch I was asked if I wanted the Morning Report and configured it accordingly. The report just appears ready for you to read. It's nice but I'm not sure I will keep it (it can be disabled)

    2. Training readiness is shown with Morning Report - and is also available as a separate Glance (refer https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-31D23DBB-57C2-4DF7-A0C9-8D1A00AB4BE7/EN-US/GUID-C21BE0C8-A08E-4DA1-B6C6-2E0E2DDDB372.html)

  • Thanks for the answer.

    Yes well, I guess I'll have to try my luck with the Garmin Express app, because I wasn't asked about the Morning Report when I set up the watch, and as I said, I can't even select it in the watch's system because it's missing altogether. Nevertheless, I find this extremely questionable that a feature with which the watch is advertised, with the out of the box software is missing ...

    Was it the same for you that you did not get the update via the app?

    If you received your Watch last week, when did the Training Readiness indicator show up? I can't find any information about when the watch collected the required values and when the indicator appears.

    Many greetings

  • Was it the same for you that you did not get the update via the app?

    Yes as stated I was only offered system software 3.11 but have since enrolled in beta to get latest 12.26

    If you received your Watch last week, when did the Training Readiness indicator show up? I can't find any information about when the watch collected the required values and when the indicator appears.

    In my case the Training Readiness status on the 2X came from my (soon to be sold) Instinct 2 Solar via Unified Training Status

  • Yes, I understood about the update to 3.11 and beta. I am not offered any update at all via the smartphone app, so not even 3.11. That's why my question. 

    Oh well, then I'll wait and see if Training Readiness is displayed at all. Otherwise I have to return the Watch unfortunately...

  • Everything fixed by Update Software to vers. 12.25 via Garmin Express.
