If you've been thinking of upgrading your GPS watch, this is the perfect time because the king-sized Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is down to its lowest-ever price of $349.99 (was $449.99) at Amazon. That's the same price it was on Black Friday, and an epic saving on one of the best running watches you can buy right now.
The Garmin Instinct 3 series launched earlier this year, including a model with a 50mm case and solar charging which is very similar to the Instinct 2X Solar. Both have a high-contrast memory-in-pixel display, a bright LED flashlight built into the top of the case, and potentially unlimited battery life with the right power-saving settings enabled and sufficient exposure to sunlight.
The only significant difference is that the Instinct 3 Solar has been updated with Garmin's SatIQ tech, which determines the best satellite navigation system to use based on your environment. However, having used (and loved) the Instinct 2 myself, I can safely say that its GPS is easily accurate enough for most adventures. I definitely wouldn't say the upgrade to SatIQ is worth $100, which is how much more you'll pay if you opt for the newer watch.
Today's best Garmin Instinct 2X deals
That's not the only great Garmin deal in this year's Presidents' Day sales. The souped-up Garmin Instinct 2X Solar Tactical Edition is down to $391.37 (was $499.99) in black or $399.99 (was $499.99) in coyote tan – both record-low prices. The Tactical version of the watch has all the same features as the regular edition, plus extras like a dedicated mode for use with night-vision goggles, a kill-switch that deletes all user data in a flash, and a stealth mode that cuts all wireless communications.
