How much does the solar powered watch extend the battery life (for a range of solar conditions?)

You can expect the following : Smartwatch: Up to 24 days/54 days with solar, Battery Saver Watch Mode: Up to 56 days/Unlimited with solar , GPS: Up to 30 hours/38 hours with solar, Max Battery GPS Mode: Up to 70 hours/145 hours with solar and Expedition GPS Activity: Up to 28 days/68 days with solar (Solar charging, assuming all-day wear with 3 hours per day + outside in 50,000 lux conditions)

how do you change the band?

Third party replacement bands come with a little metal tool for compressing the pin spring and through a little hole in the watch opposite where the band attaches on the watch. This allows the pin and the band to come off. The little tool can also be used to compress the pin in the band to slip the pin back into the hole in the watch reattaching the band. A paper clip will also work if you don't have the tool. I change my band about once a week to give my watch a different look. I also use silicone covers on the watch to protect it from damage on the job. Been doing this for a year now and my watch still looks almost like new. Hope this helps!

Does this work with AllTrails app? I.e can I use this watch to track my hike and then download the activity into AllTrails app?

The Instinct Solar is not compatible with the AllTrails App. For more information please view our Support Center, https://support.garmin.com/en-US/. You can also contact Product Support or email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny
