I don't know how Garmin is even making money on this deal, but the "seriously tough" Instinct Solar 2 is just $199 for Cyber Monday – its lowest price ever

Garmin Instinct Solar.

Cyber Monday is often the best time to shop around for great deals on Garmin watches, and right now, you can grab the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar for only $199 at Amazon. That's a gigantic 43% off the list price for this solar-powered watch, and the cheapest it's ever been.

Honestly, we're not even sure how Garmin is making money on this deal, but we're happy to see it. The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar is a seriously tough sports watch that boasts impressive GPS accuracy and an excellent suite of training tools geared towards runners, not to mention its remarkable battery life.

This watch can run for up to 28 days in smartwatch mode, or indefinitely with sufficient exposure to sunlight, making it perfect for multi-day adventures and fastpacking escapades.

This deal applies to the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar in the Mist Camo colorway in 40 mm size, and we recommend you don't sleep on this amazing deal and Cyber Monday ends in just a matter of hours. If you do miss out, you can still snag the non-solar Garmin Instinct 2 in Graphite and Graphite Camo in 45 mm for the same price.

The only potential drawback of the Instinct 2 Solar is its screen, which is a monochrome memory-in-pixel (MiP) display. This has high contrast and uses minimal power (it only draws on the battery when a pixel changes), but isn't ideal for maps if you're planning to use this watch for navigation.

If you're not in the US, here are the best deals on the Garmin Instinct 2 and Instinct 2S where you are, with prices updated daily:
