SShock, 01 Jun 2022I wonder how much autonomy solar cell gives to this watch. ... moreactually I'm not really convinced with touch support - on the first look it may seem convenient but from experience it would probably be to easy to accidentally touch it while running and feedback from hardware button seems to be better option here (same with ridiculous touch-based HUDs in cars)

I wonder how much autonomy solar cell gives to this watch. Garmin really improved Instinct 2 Solar capability of the panel (compared to original model), but those watches have button only operation with monochrome display. This is touch with color display.
Would be insane if something like Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch could run entirely on solar power.
