Competition for Garmin's solar smartwatches: Leak points to Amazfit solar watch
· By Endurance Wire
Smartwatches like the Garmin Fenix 8 Solar ( $849 on Amazon ) combine a very energy-efficient MiP display with solar cells integrated into the display, which can extend battery life in power-saving mode from 48 days to 107 days. However, Garmin is gradually moving away from this technology and now offers the Fenix 8 Pro, for example, only with AMOLED or microLED displays; the latter version achieves a battery life of just 14 days, even in power-saving mode.
