Does anyhone know a good Garmin Instinct 2 Solar alternative?

I wanted to buy the now obsolete Instinct 2 due to its robustness and longevity, but recently learned that Garmin is american :-)

Does Suunto have any affordable Solar variants? Do you know other manufacturers?

I don't know the Instinct 2 so no idea if they got something comparable, but Polar (polar.com) is another company from Finland that makes outdoor smartwatches, maybe you'll find something there.

Nice gear! Thanks for sharing

Unfortunately, there is no good alternative to the Instinct 2.

Damn, do you have an opinion on the new Garmin Instincts?

[–] JASN_DE@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. The switch in display technology makes them incredibly unappealing.

[–] a887dcd7a@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Got the same feeling. They got two different types fo display and both don't sit right with me. And the new accents look goofy.
