If you’re avoiding getting a smartwatch because it’s one more thing you’d have to keep charged, this could be the answer. If you’re away from home and on the go or enjoying outdoor activities, the Garmin Instinct Solar Outdoor Smartwatch can take care of its own charging with its solar charging capabilities. The addition of built-in sports apps and health monitoring make it a go-to accessory for outdoor activities.

While getting more use out of the smartwatch with its solar-charging capabilities, it’s also rated to withstand water up to 100 meters and is designed to meet U.S. military standard 810 for thermal, shock, and water resistance.
