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.

No buyers remorse!
This watch is awesome, I don’t feel like I’m wearing a watch at all. Very light. Easy to use and read. Easy to customize the quick buttons or view controls. It looks great, it performs greater.

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.
