When looking for the best Cyber Monday smartwatch deals, battery life is not something you should overlook. Sure, there are wearables that look nicer and are more feature-packed, but if longevity is what you're looking for, nothing tops the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar, currently 36% off during Amazon's Cyber Monday sale.

The Instinct 2X Solar harnesses the power of the sun to deliver virtually unlimited battery life, plus the watch doesn't skimp on durable design and the latest Garmin fitness features.

Garmin Instinct 2X Solar: $449.99 $289.95 at Amazon

Usually priced around $450, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is down to just $289.95 for Amazon's Cyber Monday sale. That's a record low price! This rugged watch provides 24/7 health and fitness tracking with solar charging support and a built-in LED flashlight. We selected the watch as the #1 best smartwatch for battery life, and now you'll see why.

Thanks to the Garmin watch's hyper-efficient solar panel, the Instinct 2X Solar generally lasts about 40 days on a single charge, even if you're regularly using power-intensive features like dual-band GPS or the built-in LED flashlight.

Even at that baseline, the Garmin watch towers over many of its peers, but you could technically enjoy unlimited battery life if you stick with the most basic smartwatch and fitness tracking features. Looking beyond the battery life alone, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar also boasts military-grade thermal, shock, and water resistance, a ton of health and fitness tracking metrics, and a bright display that's easy to read in any light.

To be sure, this isn't the kind of smartwatch that you'll want to pair with your nicest outfit — and it's not about to blow you away with the latest AI features — but if you want something rugged and reliable to take on those long excursions in the great outdoors, the Instinct 2X Solar is one of the most trustworthy wearables on the market. And of course, a record-smashing Cyber Monday discount never hurts.

When do Cyber Monday sales end?

Black Friday has ended and today, December 1st, is officially Cyber Monday! This means that a ton of retailers all across the web are dropping considerable discounts on tech, while others are simply extending their existing Black Friday price drops a little longer.

While we might get lucky with a few offers, many of the best deals are certain to expire at midnight tonight. When looking for a great offer to buy before the sales wrap up, keep an eye out for a "Cyber Monday deal" stamp on the product page. This will be a good indicator of whether or not the discount is set to expire this evening. And as always, if you're shopping at Amazon, use Camelcamelcamel.com for price history tracking. Sometimes a deal will look really good but will actually be a common occurrence. That's where price tracking comes in handy.
