Garmin’s smartwatches are surely not for everyone due to their high price. Although one can argue that they’re the sturdiest on the market, you have to be able to afford one first. Still, there will always be a market for good products, no matter the price.
Long story short, Garmin has decided to refresh its lineup of premium smartwatches with new ones, which are old models with an extra feature: solar technology. Garmin added solar technology to four of its iconic smartwatches: Instinct, Fenix 6 and 6s, as well as Tactix Delta.
These are not the first solar-powered smartwatches released by Garmin and probably won’t be the last. Building on the success of the Fenix 6X Pro Solar, these new solar editions promise increased battery life and new features for surf, mountain biking, and climbing activities.
Specs-wise, none of these smartwatches have been changed except for the solar panels. For example, the Fenix 6S with solar panel now offers an extra day and a half battery life with sufficient solar exposure, while the 6 Pro Solar got an extra two days of battery life with the addition of the new technology.
Next, we have Garmin’s Instinct lineup that consists of three new solar models: Instinct Solar, Instinct Solar Surf Edition, and Instinct Solar Tactical Edition. All three promise up to 50 days of battery life in smartwatch mode with sufficient solar exposure, but they should last almost indefinitely if the user activates the Battery Saver mode.
As far as the prices go, these are quite expensive. Although suggested retail prices start at $400 for Instinct Solar, they can go up to $850 for Fenix 6 Series Solar Editions and $1,100 for the Tactix Delta Solar Edition.
