Garmin is where I landed too.

I couldn't do the instinct 2 solar because of the 50mm size (I have dainty little wrists) but the instinct 3 solar is available in 45mm.

I'm over a month in and at 70% battery with minimal direct solar, but it does give it a 1-3% bump when I'm working outside.

At this point, I have to see how long it can go without charging.

(Again, I don't use any of the "smart" stuff, just the heart rate monitor for sleep tracking - is that a new thing to require HRM for sleep tracking? Long ago, they did it with the accelerometer)
