GW6 probably 1 day max. But they are 2 completely different types of watches..
This one is not really smart, is more like g-shock watch + activities tracker + gps. No touch screen, no apps, no mic, but has music control i think.. It is rugged though.
150$ is good price, close to its real value..
Not solar, but its kinda useless anyway, you need to be outdoors for 10 hours a day to charge it 15% or so, according to some youtube reviews.

See Garmin deals on here all the time, but they are often older models with older sensors.
I'd get one but already have a 255

On my 255, I have GPS, BT, and smartwatch features all off. I bought the watch for tracking heart rate, pulse OX, sleep and workouts. I have sensors set to check every second and I get 6 days between charges.
Now that's with no training (unfortunately, it's been way too long since I've worked out consistently). But obviously logging workouts with GPS everyday will shorten that battery life. Garmin is the only choice for me. I don't want to deal with charging my watch daily while also wanting it to track my sleep.
The added new features of cycling power meter support and training readiness/status updates should make it integrate into the Garmin ecosystem a little better.
I was planning on going for the Forerunner 265 but at this price, the Instinct 2 serves all my needs.

bought one from buydig on ebay same price
All that being said the secret I have found to long battery life is turn off pulse ox and limit your notifications. Doing these two things on my epix with flip to wake since it's an amoled screenn, I get 12 to 15 days when the advertised is 14 days. This included workouts (some with gps).
As someone said, you can get more reliability and better battery life on a solar Gshock - I have Casio watches over 15 year old, they all work as they did on day one. The Solar Gshock works eternally.

I bought this watch couple month ago, brand new, set it up from the box using all default settings, and then just let it sit on a desk. did not even wear it. It lasted 10 days.
If you wear it, it looses 15% per day with no bt, gps or oxy meter.
this is my 3rd garmin watch and they all last maximum of 30% of promised "up to xxx days" life. maybe they mean up to xx days in power saving mode where you can't even see seconds, only hours and minutes. but in this case i can buy gshock solar that will run forever with even more features...
