Garmin supports driver health and daily convenience on the road with the Instinct 2 – dēzl Edition smartwatch, designed for professional truck drivers

Garmin® International announced the rugged Instinct®, 2 – dēzl™ Edition, a smartwatch created for professional truck drivers seeking to lead a healthy over-the-road lifestyle. The new smartwatch allows drivers to monitor their health around the clock by tracking heart rate, sleep, stress and more. When truck drivers step out of the cab, they can benefit from purpose-built workouts specifically crafted on the watch to fit their daily routine on the job. What’s more, truckers can now look at their wrists to access member loyalty program information from select trucking plazas and conveniently pay on-the-go by using reward point balances directly from the watch. With a portfolio of trucking and driver wellness features, the Instinct 2 – dēzl Edition encourages a healthy over the-road lifestyle.

Welcome to wellness

• View detailed short-break workout tutorials via the dēzl app on a user’s smartphone

• Take a break from the job and track daily steps, calories burned, intensity minutes and more

Over-the-road convenience

• Built to endure with a rugged, scratch-resistant glass display, a sweat-proof silicone band and an extra-long battery life up to 28 days in smartwatch mode
• Use reward point balances and access member loyalty programs from the nation’s top leading travel plazas that include Love’s Travel Stops and Pilot Flying J Travel Centers
• Save time with on-screen PrePass^® notifications for upcoming U.S. weigh stations and bypass decisions; requires active PrePass account and use of the dēzl app on a user’s smartphone
• Use Garmin Pay™ contactless payments from the smartwatch to breeze through checkout lines at participating providers
• Easily plan for stops along a route using daily break timers with timely notifications
• Pairs with any of Garmin’s dēzl OTR series truck navigators to view break planning timers, health metrics and wellness suggestions, directly on the high-resolution navigation screen and the smartwatch’s display
