American watchmaker Garmin has added another smartwatch to its lineup of wearables called the Enduro smartwatch with a rare feature onboard and enormous battery life. The watch is not only able to last 65 days of use, but can also charge up using solar power, an uncommon feature among smartwatches.
The company describes the new Garmin Enduro smartwatch as an “ultraperformance GPS watch”. The display is a 1.4-inch OLED panel that has been optimized for the best performance under sunlight and has a resolution of 280 x 280 pixels.
The battery capacity has not been revealed, but despite having extensive battery life, the new Garmin smartwatch is a lightweight device. The steel version weighs only 72g and the titanium variant is weighted at 58g.
