Intrepid trips out into the wold require GPS watches with outstanding battery life, and we've found a great deal on one of the all-time best.
Right now, you can pick up the Garmin Instinct Solar at Amazon for just $279.99. That's the cheapest we've seen it in years, and a massive 30% off the list price for this watch, which former Advnture editor Cat Ellis says has a "ridiculous" battery life.
This is the original Instinct Solar, which launched in 2018, and it's still a fantastic GPS watch. When Ellis tested it, she was extremely impressed by its smart interface, great GPS accuracy, and battery life that allows it to go weeks between charges. No more trying to find somewhere to plug in your watch while you're camping. Overall, she gave it 4.5 stars, the only real downside being that its display isn't the best for maps.
This deal applies to the rugged-looking Lichen Camo colorway.

Its two-part screen works extremely well in everyday use, with the small circular display showing a selected data field on the main watch face, contextual icons as you navigate through menus, and extra stats during activity tracking. All in all, it's a very well thought out watch, and built like a tank too.
