Garmin, a global leader in innovative GPS technology, recently announced the launch of the Instinct® 2X Solar, the latest addition to its acclaimed Instinct 2 family of rugged, purpose-built smartwatches. With its unrivaled durability and cutting-edge features, the Instinct 2X Solar and Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition are specifically designed to thrive in the most challenging and extreme environments.
Built to U.S. military standards (MIL-STD-810) for thermal shock, water resistance and shock, the smartwatches are water-rated up to 10 ATM1 and feature a chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant Power Glass™ lens. The lens assists in extending battery life, producing 50% more energy than the standard Instinct 2 solar watch. Solar charging gives unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode2, allowing users to do what they love longer without worrying about recharging their watch.
“Our latest addition to the Instinct 2 series is the ultimate smartwatch for anyone who wants to live life to the fullest. Whether you’re an outdoor adventurer, a fitness enthusiast, or simply someone who wants to stay connected, this purpose-built GPS smartwatch has you covered.With its bold design, unlimited battery life, and built-in GPS, you can take on anything that comes your way,” said Mr. Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia.
The Instinct 2X Solar introduces an integrated LED flashlight with variable intensities, whether setting up camp or out for a run in the dark, a red or adjustable white light will illuminate the surroundings for greater visibility and situational awareness. In strobe mode, the light will match a running cadence and alternate between white and red so users can be seen and confidently take each stride.
Innovative tools to stay healthy and connected
The Instinct 2X Solar provides the features customers want and the data they can use to pursue wellness, fitness and lifestyle goals as well as navigate outdoor adventures.
● Keep tabs on body metrics with 24/7 Health and Wellness Tracking, including wrist-based heart rate, advanced sleep monitoring, respiration tracking, Pulse Ox and more3.

Connect IQ™ app integration4.
Obstacle Course activity addition
Additionally, the Instinct 2X Solar is the first to offer Obstacle Course Racing as an activity, which includes running segments and obstacles of various types. This activity will allow athletes to manually record obstacle splits and once obstacles are marked for the first lap, they will be automatically tracked for the remaining laps. The Obstacle Course activity will include the number of runs on a particular course, run times, number of obstacles, time spent on each obstacle, run metrics for run splits (distance, pace, cadence, stride length, etc.), elevation profile, heart rate and distance.
Infinite Battery Life
The Instinct 2x Solar revolutionizes the way we think about battery life. Harnessing the power of solar charging, Garmin’s latest innovation offers unparalleled longevity, enabling users to stay connected and explore with confidence.
With its solar charging technology, the Instinct 2X Solar* offers unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode, ensuring users can stay connected and explore with confidence.

Garmin’s commitment to innovation and sustainability sets a new benchmark, empowering individuals to push their boundaries and go further without limits.

Purpose-built to conquer the mission
The Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition is packed with features specific to tactical operations including Jumpmaster and tactical preloaded activities, projected waypoints, dual-position GPS formatting and Night-Vision Compatibility. Users can also enable Stealth Mode, which prevents sharing of GPS position and disables wireless communication. When in stealth mode, GPS location is visible on the watch face but is not saved to the device memory or shared. This allows for training functionality in areas with location security concerns without revealing the location.
To lead the way during night operations, the multi-LED flashlight on the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition illuminates in either white or a dedicated green. Users will find the green light useful in maintaining their eyes’ natural night vision.
Now available in the Philippines, the Instinct 2X Solar has a suggested retail price of PHP 28,250, while the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition has a suggested retail price of PHP 31,380.

Pride 2023
Preserving Queer Spaces
Even prior to the pandemic, queer spaces were dwindling in numbers, with many continuing to face threats rooted in transphobia, homophobia, and gentrification. These places serve as the lifeblood of numerous queer communities, sparking inspiration, providing a hub for connection, celebration, and most importantly, a platform to express individuality.
Pride 2023

COS’s Pride Collection encapsulates the unique creativity and individuality of each collaborating partner. Horse Meat Disco, the crowd-puller at many international music festivals, introduces a t-shirt infused with a bold and colorful DISCO design, signifying unity through a shared love for disco and dancing. Concurrently, House of Yes, a New York-based space dedicated to promoting creativity and connectivity, presents a powerful heart-shaped design interlaced with lines, crafting a unique symbol of love.
Next, the legendary UK collective and advocators of self-expression, Sink The Pink, presenting a playful Queen of Clubs design – a stunning tribute to their legacy. Lastly, Spain’s fun-filled festival, Churros con Chocolate, mirrors their iconic poster designs showcasing their dress-up ethos and exuberant attendees.
Photographed by Brett Lloyd, the campaign shines a spotlight on the beautiful faces that form the heart and soul of LGBTQIA+ communities worldwide.
Aiding the Cause
In an effort to create a future free from prejudice and discrimination, COS pledges to donate 100% of the profits from this collaborative endeavor to Metro ManilaPride, a volunteer-managed organisation. This body tirelessly works towards educating, equipping, and empowering the Filipino LGBTQIA+ community, asserting everyone’s right to feel safe, seen, and respected.
Get ready to wear your pride on your sleeve with COS’s Pride Collection. Together, let’s celebrate the colors of love, acceptance, and unity, supporting a cause that holds the promise of a safer, more inclusive future.
The COS Pride collection will be available globally at cos.com and the COS Store Manila in SM Aura Premier from June.
Vans, the global symbol of youth culture and uninhibited creativity, is hitting the right note with its latest project, “Make It Heard”. This initiative is an ode to the artistic prowess of blossoming local talents. Singling out Filipino artists Ena Mori and Paolo Sandejas, Vans takes us into their creative process and their journey of using music to forge connections within their community.
Rocking Out Since ’66: Vans’ Melodious Journey
From the skate parks to the stage, Vans has certainly left an indelible “Off The Wall” mark in various spheres of youth culture. Making its first foray into the music industry in 1966, Vans lent its iconic brand to Warped Tour, the most prominent traveling punk rock music festival in the USA and Canada.
Over the years, Vans has been a staunch supporter of both budding and renowned musicians. Its digital music ventures such as the “Sidestripe Sessions” and “Vans Musician Wanted” competition have not only given a platform to musicians from diverse genres but also catalyzed their growth in the industry.
Make It Heard: Ena Mori and Paolo Sandejas
In the ever-evolving OPM scene, new musicians like Ena Mori and Paolo Sandejas echo their distinct sounds. Vans, through “Make It Heard”, endeavors to tune into their narratives and artistic identities.
Ena Mori, a 23-year-old singer-songwriter whose pop music pushes boundaries, says, “The hardest thing is to keep myself original. There is pressure to stay on trend or hype a certain style of music ” Her latest album, “DON’T BLAME THE WILD ONE”, has drawn applause from music enthusiasts.
Paolo Sandejas, known for hits like “Sorry” and “Lost”, recalls his early struggles, “At the start, I didn’t really know what type of music to put out. I was bouncing around different genres. [But I realized] I don’t have to be anything other than myself and I can just enjoy and own that.” His musical repertoire involves a tasteful blend of indie pop, alternative rock, and neo soul.
“Make It Heard” is the newest addition to Vans’ continuous campaign to support and empower young musicians from diverse genres and backgrounds by helping nurture communities.
“Vans is very fashion-forward. They love to collaborate with creative people, support creatives, and connect a lot of creative people. As a musician, it’s nice to see brands that value creativity and expression,” Ena and Paolo express their appreciation for the initiative. “When I see the reaction in the audience — that’s the best feeling. Seeing people connect to your music, seeing people enjoy it, the ways that your music impacts their lives make you feel accomplished with what you did.”
Throughout the year, Vans is poised to highlight a diverse range of musicians, solidifying its stance as a global platform for creativity. To catch a glimpse of the full video here and stay updated, follow @vansphilippines on Instagram. Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate the symphony of creativity that these artists offer!
