Why just carry out the mission? Own it with Instinct 2 Solar – Tactical Edition. This rugged GPS smartwatch is built to U.S. military standard (MIL-STD-810), is water-rated to 100 meters and features solar charging, which gives you unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode (assuming all-day wear with 3 hours per day outside in 50,000 lux conditions). Dedicated tactical features, such as night vision goggle compatibility, waypoint projection and dual-position GPS format, keep you mission ready. Stealth mode lets you go dark by disabling wireless communication and data sharing. Multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) help you track in more challenging environments than with GPS alone. All-day health monitoring lets you keep track of your general wellness — helping you to stay ready for anything (this device is intended to give an estimation of your activity and metrics; it is not a medical device).

Good but expensive
It's okay. The price tag is too high. You can ping yourself for location in grid but has to be outside. Good for hikers. It tells you sun up and down.

Extremely durable
In comparison to other smartwatches, you dont get touchscreen capabilities nor do you get a color diaplay. However, you do get up to 2 months between charges and an enclosure capable of keeping up with an active lifestlye. Well worth those tradeoffs
