As a dive instructor and tech enthusiast, I tend to keep an eye out for good rugged smartwatches as some, like the Apple Watch Ultra, can double as dive computers.
The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar isn’t capable of calculating your dive profile or tracking your decompression limits, but it is a rugged, GPS-enabled smartwatch with training modes and tracking for just about every other sport you can imagine. Plus, it’s often on sale for $370 or less, making it a solid bargain. It offers over 3 weeks of battery life on a single charge, with solar power making it theoretically unkillable if you spend at least 3 hours in 50,000-lux conditions.
