This Garmin watch can run indefinitely on a single charge – and it’s cheaper than ever for Black Friday

There are some epic Black Friday Garmin deals this year, but this is easily one of the best – right now you can snag the awesome Garmin Instinct 2 Solar for just $204.21 (was $289.99) at Amazon in the US – a huge saving of 30% and the cheapest it’s been by miles.

In the UK, you can pick up the Garmin Instinct Solar for only £204.19 (was £289.99) at Amazon – also a record-low price, and a Black Friday deal not to be missed.

I’m TechRadar’s former fitness editor, and I gave the Instinct 2 Solar a glowing review when it first launched, awarding it a full five stars out of five. In my opinion it’s still one of the best Garmin watches you can buy thanks to its tough build, well designed interface, high-contrast screen (which is much better than that of my Garmin Fenix 7S), and incredible battery life. The Instinct 2 Solar uses photovoltaic cells to keep its battery topped up during the day, and according to Garmin it can run forever on a single charge with the right power-saving settings enabled and a sufficient daily dose of sunlight.

I’ve been fortunate enough to test lots of the best running watches over the years, and the Instinct 2 Solar still knocks most of them out of the park when it comes to sheer practicality. Want to go away camping and won’t have access to a power outlet? No problem! Want to go rock climbing and concerned about scuffs and scratches? Worry not – this watch’s reinforced resin case is built like a tank.
