I think my “brand new” garmin instinct 2x solar is used

Hello fellow forum members,

I recently purchased a brand-new Garmin Instinct 2X watch from Amazon. However, when I synced it with the app, I noticed that it displays workout and heart rate data from last month (May) and even some data from June. For instance, on May 20th, there’s data recorded around 8-9 PM. I initially thought it might have synced with my Apple Watch workouts, but on that day, I actually worked out at 6 AM.

Given that I bought the watch on June 6th, I’m puzzled by this discrepancy. Is it possible that my “new” watch is actually used or a returned item? Has anyone else experienced a similar situation with their Garmin Instinct 2X? I’m thinking about returning it

I appreciate any insights or advice you can provide!

Thank you,

Dan

Of course it is, as long as it is not bought directly from Garmin. Check the files directly on the storage of the watch. If you want to get rid of the old data, reset the watch to factory defaults with the option of deleting all data.
