The watch’s fiber-reinforced polymer case has a polymer rear cover and a stainless steel bezel. The 1.3-inch diameter lens is Corning Gorilla Glass 3, so it should take a beating while you travel the galaxy in search of errant Jedi, princesses, rebels, and various miscreants. Garmin states the watch is appropriate for wrists from 5.3 inches to 7.9 inches in circumference.

The 260 x 260-pixel touchscreen color display is sunlight-visible transflective MIP (memory-in-pixel), so you should be able to track your progress, read alerts, and see the time in any lighting conditions short of a leap to hyperspace.

Weighing in at 50.5 grams (1.8 ounces), the watch is water-rated at five atmospheres. The battery lasts up to eight days in smartwatch mode only, 18 hours in GPS mode, and six hours in GPS mode with music.

The Garmin smartwatch’s encyclopedic list of features and functions runs the gamut of connectivity, communications, activity tracking, training, and smart features. Compatible with iOS and Android smartphones, the Darth Vader watch also connects via Bluetooth, ANT+, and Wi-Fi.

The sensor count alone is amazing when you consider how little the watch weighs: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, a wrist heart rate monitor, barometric altimeter, compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, thermometer, and a pulse oximeter sensor. In addition to activity, movement, step, sleep tracking, and workout monitoring, the watch has feature sets for running, golf, cycling, swimming, and more.

The Darth Vader special edition is one of Garmin’s smartwatch Legacy Series and Legacy Hero Series that also includes special editions for

Rey

,

Captain Marvel

, and

First Avenger

.

This Garmin watch is a 9 out of 10, and it’s on sale this week

One of the best smartwatch deals today is also on one of my personal favorite devices and one that has greatly encouraged me to run more throughout the last few months. Today, you can buy the Garmin Forerunner 265 smartwatch for $100 off at Best Buy -- for $350 instead of $450. It’s effectively like having a personal trainer on your wrist, so it’s worth every cent. If you’re looking to enhance your runs and general performance, this is the watch for you. The deal is on until September 22, so let’s take a little look at what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Garmin Forerunner 265
When we reviewed the Garmin Forerunner 265, we called it “a new standard for fitness watches.” That is definitely how I felt when I spent time with it. One huge highlight is its great looking AMOLED panel, which offers deep blacks and vibrant colors. Having tried cheaper Garmin watches, it’s that screen that instantly makes the Garmin Forerunner 265 much classier to use.

Right now you can buy the Garmin Fenix 7X smartwatch with a $250 discount, so it’s down to $650 from $900. This is likely happening because the Garmin Fenix 8 is rumored to launch later this month, but if you don’t mind being a step behind, you’ll still be delighted with this one. You’ll need to be quick to grab one of the best smartwatch deals as it’s only available for today and tomorrow, ending September 7. Here’s what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Garmin Fenix 7X
If you’re serious about achieving your running, hiking, or even swimming goals, you need one of the best Garmin watches. While the Garmin Fenix 7X isn’t on that list, it’s still highly respected. In the past, we’ve reviewed the Garmin Fenix 6S Pro and the Garmin Fenix 5X Plus and the response is the same every time -- Garmin Fenix watches are great.

Garmin’s Apple Watch Ultra alternative gets a $100 discount
The Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2).

You've got several options if you're looking for an Apple Watch alternative, but there are only a few smartwatches out there that can match up to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 is one of them, and if you're interested, you can get it for $100 off from Best Buy. From its original price of $1,100, it's down to $1,000 -- the wearable device is still not cheap, but it's going to be worth every single penny with all of the features that it packs. You're going to have to be quick with your purchase though, as you may lose your chance at the savings if you keep delaying.

Why you should buy the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 smartwatch
If you want a rugged smartwatch with comprehensive fitness features, and you're not heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 is an excellent choice over the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The wearable device is currently featured in our list of the best smartwatches as our top recommendation for outdoor sports, partly because of its durability. The Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 comes with a 1.4-inch scratch-resistant sapphire AMOLED display, a 51mm fiber-reinforced polymer case with a titanium bezel and rear cover, and it's been tested against U.S. military standards for thermal, water, and shock resistance.
