Garmin Instinct 2 Solar
$449.99
Rugged GPS watch with solar charging and multi-band GNSS.
Built to military standards, the Instinct 2 Solar is a rider-friendly field watch that never needs a charge under the right sun. It tracks GPS routes, heart rate, and recovery, and the solar lens extends battery life indefinitely in smartwatch mode. The fiber-reinforced polymer case shrugs off scrapes and road grime.
