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

.

Garmin’s Venu 3 smartwatch is $50 off right now as an early Prime Deal
New Body Battery details on the Garmin Venu 3.

Nothing says “great outdoors” and “fitness” like a great smartwatch. Also known as wearables, these are primarily wrist-worn devices that contain a number of health and location-tracking sensors, along with numerous features that are unlocked by pairing your new watch (or fitness ring) with a compatible phone or tablet. We see a lot of smartwatch deals in our daily discount dives, but the following offer caught us by surprise. Right now, you’ll be able to order the 45mm-band version of the Garmin Venu 3 in Slate through Amazon for $400. At full price, this model sells for $450.

Why you should buy the Garmin Venu 3
There are no shortage of smartwatches to pick from, so what makes the Venu 3 so special? For starters, it has a beautiful 1.4-inch AMOLED watch face that achieves solid brightness levels, as well as great colors and contrast. And because Garmin opted to use Corning Gorilla Glass 3, you can guarantee your Venu 3 will be able to withstand the occasional drop or ding. The 45mm band size is also very comfortable and can easily be swapped out, though the Stainless Steel one that comes in the box is quite remarkable!

The Garmin Instinct 2X Solar on a person's wrist.

If you’re a keen outdoors person, you need a watch that can keep up with you. Regular smartwatch deals are unlikely to cut it which is why we’re recommending the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar while it’s on sale at Amazon. Normally costing $450, it’s currently 22% off so it’s down to $350 for a limited time only. The $100 saving is pretty great to see but unlikely to be around for much longer. If it sounds tempting, read on while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar
We consider the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar to be the best Garmin watch for hiking. That’s because it never needs charging. A rugged mix of Apple Watch Ultra-style outdoor features and Casio G-Shock toughness, it also has all of Garmin’s awesome health and activity tracking tools.
