This smartwatch is designed to stay on your wrist forever

Despite advancements in the smartwatch space, worrying about battery life and getting it to a charger are still part of the experience. Of course, there are some outliers that deviate from this behavior, like Garmin’s Instinct 2 Solar.

This is a smartwatch that’s built to live on your wrist. It’s able to accomplish this because it can charge using solar energy, which means it solves one of the biggest pain points of owning a smartwatch. And while it may look simple, it’s feature-packed.

You can’t go wrong with infinite battery life

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar is a smartwatch that’s packed with features and can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Not only do you get impressive battery life thanks to its solar charging capabilities, but it can track all your health and fitness metrics as well.

Garmin states that this watch should be able to stay powered forever, so long as it can get the charging time it needs while still on your wrist. If you’re curious, that’s three hours with maximum sunlight hitting it. It’s definitely a nice feature to have if you’re in the middle of nowhere.

Never get lost

There are plenty of sensors to track your whereabouts as well, which means you can stay on course no matter where you are. This applies to the city and also the wilderness as well. And just in case you’re in an area you’re unsure of, you can also send out a call for help if you have a signal.

And since it’s a smartwatch, you can also get notifications straight to your wrist from a connected smartphone. The watch even comes with Garmin Pay, making it easy to check out at supported terminals when you don’t want to pull out your wallet. For the most part, you really can’t go wrong here if you’re looking for something simple and powerful. Grab it for $225 while you still can.
