This rugged Garmin smartwatch with ‘infinite’ battery life is on sale at a phenomenal price

If that doesn’t sound like an earth-shattering discount, it’s worth highlighting that this super-robust device with analog watch hands, a monochrome digital display, and solar charging functionality actually used to cost $549.99 back at launch, which Garmin evidently permanently marked down by $100 at some point in the last few months.

That’s right, you can apparently squeeze “unlimited” use out of this bad boy with solar charging (given ideal outdoor lighting conditions) and a “battery saver watch mode” that will of course turn off or limit certain key features.

Although the Instinct Crossover Solar can’t exactly rival the Apple Watch Ultra as far as screen quality, resolution, and color is concerned, its health monitoring capabilities are definitely nothing to scoff at, covering everything from heart rate to sleep quality, stress levels, blood oxygen, body battery energy, VO2 Max, recovery time, and a bunch of other indicators meant to help you improve your shape and physical resistance.

The hybrid smartwatch itself is resistant to a lot of challenges and elements ranging from water immersion to various types of shock and extreme temperatures, and given all that, you’re not even looking at such a bulky or chunky device, with its weight standing at 65 grams and 16.2mm overall thickness. Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts on relatively tight budgets really can’t do much better than this thing in terms of value for money, which is why you should probably hurry and pull the trigger before Amazon inevitably runs out of (discounted) inventory.
