Editorial note

The Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical Edition is a robust and high-performing smartwatch, ideal for active users and professionals. Its military certification MIL-STD-810G ensures exceptional resistance to extreme conditions while offering an impressive battery life of 30 hours in GPS mode. These features make it a preferred choice for uninterrupted outdoor activities. The advanced health tracking features, such as the heart rate monitor, altimeter, and blood oxygen sensor, allow for optimal wellness management. The digital display with MIP technology and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 ensures good visibility, although it may disappoint with its limited resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. However, the watch has some drawbacks. The lack of a built-in microphone and speakers prevents users from making calls or listening to music directly from the device. Additionally, the reinforced plastic design may seem less premium to some, and the absence of Wi-Fi connectivity and contactless payment may be a drawback for those seeking more modern features. In summary, the Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical Edition offers good value for money, with solid performance and features suited for active users.
