The Garmin Solar Instinct is an amazing smartwatch for those who like to spend most of their free time outside. Being a rugged adventure watch, the Instinct Solar is ready to take on the elements with you, whether it's mountain biking, surfing, hiking or anything in between.

Why should you buy the Garmin Instinct Solar

The fibre-reinforced polymer case and chemically strengthened, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass lens makes the Garmin Instinct Solar tough, and not just any tough but military-standard-tough so it can easily withstand some bashing around. The buttons have a nice click response to them and use the standard Garmin layout many runners are familiar with.

The Power Glass’s photovoltaic surface covers a large area making the Instinct Solar very capable of collecting precious sunlight. Despite the smaller ‘useful’ display area, the information is generally easy to read thanks to the screen-in-screen method the watch uses.

My biggest criticism of the watch when I reviewed it was the price but thanks to this Black Friday sales offer, the Instinct Solar is now dirt cheap. I really can't think of a reason why you shouldn't buy it, especially since it's so much more than just a running watch: you get stress tracking, pulse oximeter, multi-GNSS support, ABC sensors, trackback routing, body battery energy monitor and more.
