Since launching in 2018, the Instinct GPS outdoor watch series has proven itself as a reliable tool built to endure the most challenging environments, from the city to the mountains and all places between. Instinct Solar<\/a> takes its rugged reputation to new heights with battery life, updated bold designs and new activity profiles, including two new activity-specific Instinct editions, Instinct Solar \u2013 Surf Edition<\/a> and Instinct Solar \u2013 Tactical Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Representing a milestone for Garmin, Instinct Solar can provide unlimited battery life with sufficient solar exposure in Battery Saver mode. Using Expedition Mode with sufficient solar exposure, Instinct Solar provides increased GPS functionality while still delivering over two months of battery life. The Instinct Solar series also boasts up to 24 days in smartwatch mode indoors and more than 50 days with sufficient solar exposure. Users can make these battery-extending changes on the fly through Instinct Solar\u2019s incorporation of Power Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instinct Solar \u2013 Surf Edition is purpose-built with specialised surf features such as tide data and a dedicated surfing activity to help surfers make the most of every wave. Water rated to 100 meters, the Instinct Solar – Surf Edition is also a multisport water-recreation watch.

Featuring Garmin Power Glass\u2122 solar charging lens and a customisable Power Manager mode, f\u0113nix 6 Series \u2013 Solar Editions harness the power of the sun to stay on and remain performance-ready for weeks, so users will have more on-wrist time to enjoy their activities, training features, onboard mapping, music streaming and much more. Expanding the robust activity profiles included in the f\u0113nix series, the f\u0113nix 6 and 6S Solar editions come surf, mountain bike and indoor climb-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The f\u0113nix 6S Pro Solar battery performance in smartwatch mode is up to nine days indoors and up to 10.5 days with sufficient solar exposure, while battery performance for the f\u0113nix 6 Pro Solar in smartwatch mode is up to 14 days indoors and up to 16 days with sufficient solar exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The f\u0113nix 6 Series \u2013 Solar Editions also includes Advanced Sleep Monitoring, which provides a detailed breakdown of user\u2019s light, deep and REM sleep stages as well as Pulse Ox and respiration data. This can be viewed on a dedicated widget that includes your stress score and sleep insights. Out of the box, the f\u0113nix 6 series includes TopoActive Europe maps for outdoor adventures, ski maps for over 2,000 ski resorts worldwide and over 41,000 golf courses.

Built to military standards (MIL-STD-810), the tactix Delta – Solar Edition uses solar charging to extend battery life and Power Manager mode to provide up to 21 days indoors and up to 24 days with sufficient solar exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mission-ready features on the tactix Delta \u2013 Solar Edition include stealth mode, which disables location sharing and wireless connectivity, and a kill switch to wipe all user memory. The rugged, sophisticated design features an always-on 1.4\u201d display, scratch-resistant sapphire lens, black DLC-coated steel bezel, black PVD-coated steel rear cover and all-new military-inspired black tactical nylon QuickFit\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> band with reinforced stitching and exposed black metal hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With specialised tactical features as well as mapping, music, advanced training and the same smart features from the f\u0113nix 6 family, the tactix Delta \u2013 Solar Edition is built for demanding field use and everyday wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Instinct Solar, f\u0113nix 6 Series \u2013 Solar Editions and tactix Delta – Solar Edition represent the continued innovation of Garmin solar technology initiative and are available now.
