The fact that we gave the Garmin Instinct 2 five out of five stars in our review tells you how much we love it. For the money, you get a super-tough case and a high-contrast dual-screen display as well as all the fitness training tools and custom workouts that you could ever want, and that solar battery extension.

GPS accuracy is second to none, with a pre-measured 5km test showing that the Instinct 2 was accurate to within a handful of meters. That's impressive. Put simply, this is a trustworthy watch you can rely on.

We also love its battery life, which lasts a full 20 days in smartwatch mode. This performance is thanks to the dull memory-in-pixel display and power conservation technology.
