If you need a smartwatch that you can rely on to guide you back towards civilization rather than just to remind you to stand up every 20 mins, you can’t go wrong with Garmin’s intrepid Instinct. It’s more than just your normal running watch with GPS. And right now, it’s a better buy than ever thanks to a deal in the Amazon Big Spring Sale that whacks almost half the price away.

Right now, you can score the Garmin Instinct Solar for £170 on Amazon UK. That’s a rather tasty 47% off the regular ticket of £320, saving you an excellent £150.
The newer Garmin Instinct comes with a battery that never dies, thanks to solar charging on the watchface. The Instinct Solar offers GPS navigation, heart rate monitoring, various training trackers, and notifications from your phone in a military grade case, but with enough exposure to the sun it can run for up to 50 days without charging.
In fact, in Battery Saver mode it’ll go forever without conking out, as long as it sups up sufficient sunlight. Sure, that means turning off almost everything that makes the Instinct Solar smart, but sometimes just being able to tell the time is all you need.
