this certainly does not belong in the timepiece thread, but a development i am excited about, hence the new thread:

garmin [finally!] added solar charging to an expanded segment of their line-up. it's not perfect, and there is room for improvement, but good enough that i took the plunge on a new fenix watch.

Solar charging added to the fenix 6pro, 6s, instinct and tactix line.

i travel a lot, and want to know that a watch can definitely hack through a couple weeks on the road without needing charging, so i've stayed away from real EDC use of a smart watch, but this could potentially be a game changer for me. anyway, i rushed this purchase before i really did a deep dive into how good the solar charging really is, but whatever. i like it so far!
