My Garmin last a month or two. Depends on the model. But it's less smartwatchy and more health and fitness. Gps is accurate in all my tests down to about 2 feet. Takes me to and from my car in parking lots with ease. Geocaching is a breeze. Best of all the watches I've tried.

    Garmin is where I landed too.

    I couldn't do the instinct 2 solar because of the 50mm size (I have dainty little wrists) but the instinct 3 solar is available in 45mm.

    I'm over a month in and at 70% battery with minimal direct solar, but it does give it a 1-3% bump when I'm working outside.

    At this point, I have to see how long it can go without charging.

    (Again, I don't use any of the "smart" stuff, just the heart rate monitor for sleep tracking - is that a new thing to require HRM for sleep tracking? Long ago, they did it with the accelerometer)
