With exact timing and precision, Garmin has brought its solar charging technology to the Fenix 6 Pro, 6S Pro, and Instinct Solar Series. If you like outdoor activities and need a reliable watch, the Garmin Fenix 6 and Instinct solar watches are the ones for you.
The Fenix 6S Pro Solar watches are solar-powered and can last up to to nine days indoors, and 10.5 days with proper solar exposure. The Fenix 6 Pro Solar can last up to 14 days indoors in smartwatch mode and, when combined with sun exposure, up to 16 days. Meanwhile, the Instinct Solar series has an unlimited battery life in battery saver mode, up to 24 days when in smartwatch mode, and 50-plus days with proper solar exposure. The watches’ abilities to recharge by solar rays are embedded in the power lens, making them eco-friendly and guaranteeing the fun under the sun for as long as you like.
The solar smartwatch expansion is clearly focused on giving you the support you need to explore the adventurous opportunities of nature and outdoor challenges.
“Garmin’s multisport GPS watches are the choice for athletes and adventurers willing to push themselves through the next mile or over the next mountain,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales, in the company announcement. “Using our solar capabilities, the new Instinct, fēnix 6 and 6S, and tactix Delta solar watches provide extraordinary battery life and give customers the ability to follow their passion to the sunset and further. In addition to the solar charging capabilities, these editions are full of updated and unique features. From new camouflage design patterns to surfing activity profiles, there is something for everyone with the new members of Garmin’s solar family.”
Are you on the mountains? The ocean? Or enjoying the beauty of an isolated trail? Don’t worry, wherever you are, you will always be connected and will never miss a beat. Even better, you will no longer have to wait for charges.
Add your mapping and your music, use intelligent pace planning, and you will push your adventures to new limits. The Fenix 6 Solar Series smartwatch is a complete device for your everyday activities. It monitors your health with the wrist-based optical heart rate technology, and tracks the intensity of your physical activity. Any heart rate changes are tracked and recorded and allow the Fenix 6 to determine your stress level.

Surfers and divers, don’t you worry. The Instinct watch also tracks underwater using the Pulse Ox app, and can track your wave counts, your speed, and the distance of each wave. The Fenix 6 series does the same, and features added integrations with the Surfline camera. You also have the option to preload activity profiles for trail running, swimming, biking, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing, and keep track of your workout.
Are you an aspiring golf player? Great news for you. The Fenix 6 Solar Series has more than 41,000 global golf courses in its full-color Courses View and has incorporated features like PlaysLike Distance.
Let’s not forget the Background Ski app. With your new smart watch, you can stay informed when you’re in the snow. The preloaded profile can detect both skiing and climbing, and automatically measures ascent or descent.
Relaxing while doing your outdoor activity is made easy, and the watches will allow you to bring the music on trips and control right from your wrist. The design features a large display and is built to be durable and adventure-ready, no matter where you’re headed.
