Thomas, after your comment I am now thinking towards to buying Garmin eTrex® 32x (instead of a smart watch) which potentially could last for years in long terms survival in wildness if turning it on only when need to see the current location on the map and having some AA batteries as a backup. By the way, there is so many info about how good compass with a paper map are but there is no info where to get good TOPO waterproof maps… Can you direct me to the right place for that? Thank you.

Hi. What do you think about Garmin Fenix 6x Pro Solar as a survival watch? It has GPS with TOPO maps as well as solar charging(not sure if you can actually charge the watch with the sunlight or it just a marketing move) I would like to know your opinion in comparison Fenix 6x PRO Solar with Casio Rangeman GPR-B1000 for a long term survival
