My old smartwatch battery would quit by 4pm, but this new one from Garmin lasts a full week
I got tired of charging my old watch every single night, so I decided to test two different models side by side for a month. The first was a popular touchscreen watch I bought last year, and the second was a Garmin Instinct Solar. The difference was crazy. The old one had a bright screen and apps, but it drained so fast I had to turn off most features just to make it through a workday. The Garmin has a simpler screen and fewer apps, but after a week of normal use, including GPS runs, it still had 20% left. In my experience, that trade-off for a week of battery life is totally worth it. Has anyone else found a gadget that just works for way longer than you expected?

Yeah @anthony426, you gotta turn off the constant heart rate check to really stretch that battery.
