The Garmin Catalyst 2 is a compact 4 oz unit with a built-in 1440p camera, Garmin Clarity HDR optics and 25 Hz multi-GNSS positioning. The original Garmin Catalyst uses a 6.95-inch screen, 10 Hz positioning and a separate 1080p Remote Cam. Both use True Track Positioning and True Optimal Lap to show where you can find time.
The Catalyst 2 has a 3.0-inch touchscreen and works with Garmin Vault plans, which the original does not. The original weighs 15.4 oz and shows your analysis on its large built-in display. Read what the original Garmin Catalyst does, or compare every performance meter we carry.
