If you value accurate backcountry tracking and not having to charge a battery, this is the best adventure watch on the market.
Best value for the money in the sports category. Insane battery life. Small. Sharp monochrome screen. Tracks an incredible array of fitness-related features. Uses three GPS systems to pinpoint location and distance, even at sea or under tree cover. Can see your notifications, use Garmin Pay, or control your music.Do you need all these features? Probably not. Still expensive. Some algorithms have an outdated focus on body weight.
The Instinct 2S Solar uses a Power Glass face to convert the sun’s energy to battery power. If you’re the kind of nerd who likes to check your solar intensity and how much sunlight your watch is exposed to per day, you can scroll down the watch face to find this information from the previous six hours, along with other useful at-a-glance stats like notifications and step count.
It’s kind of fun to see your solar intensity go up and down as you bike, run, or sit in the shade. But all I really needed to know was that with a lot of direct sunlight, the Instinct 2S Solar got quite a bit of power. In my months of testing, I got up to three weeks on a single charge. That’s less than Garmin’s claim of 50 days, but way more than almost every other fitness tracker.
