Garmin is a company that focuses on creating the best in smartwatch technology, now with its Instinct 2, it could give a device with “unlimited” battery.
Although for this, you would really have to be under the Sun for a few hours a day, to charge it and continue doing your daily tasks.
Garmin Instinct 2, the new definitive watch?
The new Instinct 2 line is designed for the most “intense” athletes, with a smart watch that could have an unlimited battery.
This improved technology would allow the watch to be charged while you are under the sun, the solar technology it possesses would allow it to be captured in a few hours.
Although it had had some launches before, with the Fenix 6, now it seeks to improve everything with the Instinct 2, which brings relevant advances.
Instinct 2, don’t forget to read the fine print!
Garmin claims that its watch would have a practically unlimited battery, although you would really have to read all the details that this implies.
On the one hand, we have that the Instinct 2 Solar could only have this function in the “larger” 45mm editions, but with some shortcomings.
You can only have the solar function active when you are in “intelligent” mode, so it would only register health functions, but not running.
The problem of being solar is more complicated
According to the specifications of the Instinct 2, with only three hours of sun in ideal conditions, although it does not necessarily have to be “very sunny”.
In this sense, the Instinct 2 would not have to point directly at the Sun and could capture the light without a problem, but you would have to spend hours to charge it.
Although if the user is on a cloudy day, his watch will not be able to capture the necessary Lux to charge, which could mean a relevant obstacle.
Battery for a while without the need for the Sun
The Instinct 2 has a long battery life, according to Garmin, this could last up to four weeks in constant use.
This would mean that you do not need to recharge it in the Sun for some time and the little it captures will help to have more energy for more days.
Its price ranges between $345 dollars, although it is the lowest price, the real price of the main watch and its solar technology is unknown.
