Garmin Instinct 3 Solar Tactical Watch Photo courtesy of Garmin I’ve not been much of a watch wearer ever since I started carrying a phone in my pocket, but I’ve been wearing Garmin’s new Instinct 3 Solar Tactical watch for the past few months and have become a convert. While I’ve yet to utilize all the different features packed into the Instinct 3 (physical training programs, ballistics info, etc.), the information provided on the home screen alone (heart rate, elevation, sunrise/sunset, etc.) has proven to be handy, and I love having it paired with my phone. Now, when I receive a call, text, or alert, I can simply glance at my wrist rather than have to dig my phone out of whatever pocket I’ve stashed it in. Beyond the bells and whistles, perhaps the most impressive aspect is the battery life—45 days on a full charge—and its solar-charging capability. I’ve also abused this watch quite a bit—banging it on rocks, tables, and doorframes countless times—and while it’s showing a bit of wear, it’s still operating as well as the day I first strapped it on. MSRP: $549 | More Info —John Taranto

Bajio Toads Reader Sunglasses Photo courtesy of Bajio Sunglasses I’ve been lucky to have excellent eyesight my entire life, but when I turned 45, it was like my close-up vision went to hell overnight. Suddenly, I found myself holding things at arm's length just to be able to see them clearly. This was especially problematic when fishing, as I switched between sunglasses and readers to tie knots, change lures and the like. Then, earlier this year, Bajío came out with reader versions of some of their most popular styles, including my favorite, Toads, and they’ve improved my time on the water greatly. Available power levels are 1.50, 2.00, and 2.50. Choose from four different frame colors and four lens finishes. MSRP: $249 | More Info John Taranto
