Deal | Garmin Instinct 2X Solar Tactical smartwatch with built-in GPS, "unlimited" battery life gets sizeable Amazon discount

Garmin is known for its rugged GPS-enabled smartwatches, like the flagship Fenix line-up. The Instinct 2X Solar offers many of the same benefits of the Fenix smartwatch line-up, just packaged in a rugged case and with solar charging. An Amazon deal has discounted the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar to just $334.31, down from $499.99, making this a record-low price for the outdoorsy smartwatch. 

Garmin claims that just three hours of exposure to direct sunlight is enough to power the Instinct 2X Solar for the whole day, even in smartwatch mode. The rugged casing on the Instinct Solar 2X isn't just for show, with the Instinct 2X Solar Tactical Edition (which is the one on sale) rated for up to 10 ATM of water resistance. That translates to a depth of 100 m, making the Instinct 2X Solar capable of serving in even the most rugged outdoor situations. 

In terms of convenience, the Garmin smartwatch has built-in fitness tracking with heart-rate, VO₂ Max, and GPS tracking. The built-in exercise tracking includes cycling, running, golf, skiing, rock climbing, yoga, pilates, weight lifting, and swimming, among many more, and it can sync both notifications and fitness data to and from your smartphone via the Garmin Connect app. The Instinct 2X Solar also features built-in contactless payments and a live location feature that can automatically share your location with family when things go awry. 

The Instinct 2X Solar also includes a built-in altimeter, barometer, and three-axis electronic compass, which are great for outdoorsy types and those who like to dig into how their environment might be affecting their exercise performance. Check out the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar on Amazon while the lowest-ever price or $334.31 holds.
