If you’re looking for a smartwatch that’s built for the rough and tumble of the great outdoors, look no further. The rugged and solar-powered Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar is designed to go wherever you go and keep ticking along no matter how long you’re there.
This watch means business, and so does this limited-time deal that slashes the usual $900 asking price all the way down to just $500. Keep in mind that this is a limited-time deal, so we can’t promise it’ll stick around for long.
This smartwatch can use solar energy to extend its battery life, which means that you won’t need to reach for the charger quite as often. In fact, using solar charging, you can expect your battery to run for weeks, rather than days. You won’t get that from an Apple Watch.

Garmin preloads the watch with thousands of golf courses and ski resorts worldwide, ready for tracking, and you can monitor other fitness activities on the go as you’d expect. Other features include a heady built-in LED flashlight and a strong scratch-resistant sapphire display crystal to keep your watch looking as good as new.

Why this deal matters
There is no shortage of smartwatches for you to choose from, but Garmin’s are definitely oriented towards the explorer. That’s why they have such long battery life and strong activity-based features. That also means that they can be costly, which makes this deal all the more important. Just make sure to order your new Garmin smartwatch soon if you want to avoid missing out.
