Solar energy is a great way to charge our devices without wasting too much electricity as we’re using the power of the sun. Technology is advancing towards that and Garmin started to offer it to consumers with the release of Fenix 6X Pro Solar just last year with solar charging.

Now, Garmin is expanding its solar charging to more of its smartwatches as well which have been made available in Malaysia since earlier last month. One of them is the new Instinct Solar which apparently has unlimited battery life according to Garmin although this can only be obtained through the watch’s Battery Save mode. Still, that’s pretty impressive.

Even in Smartwatch mode, the Instinct Solar can last for more than 50 days or between 38 hours in GPS mode. With our climate, Malaysia is the perfect country to provide us enough solar light to make sure our solar charging devices are up and running. At the same time, Garmin has also added PulseOx and Body Battery functionalities into the Instinct Solar.

also introduced the Solar Edition models for the Fenix 6S Pro and Fenix 6 Pro to accompany last year’s Fenix 6X Pro Solar. In terms of general features, they are pretty much equivalent to the standard model but naturally, the Solar Edition models offer a much longer battery life.

The Fenix 6S Pro Solar has up to 10.5 days of battery in Smartwatch mode while the Fenix 6 Pro Solar can go even further up to 16 days. In GPS mode, they can be operational for up to 28 hours and 40 hours, respectively.

In terms of pricing, the standard Instinct Solar is available for RM 1999 with the exception of the Camo Graphite colourway that goes for RM 2199 which is the same price for the Instinct Solar Tactical models. On another hand, the Fenix 6S Solar and Fenix 6 Pro Solar can be obtained for RM 4199 each.
