Garmin tactix Delta, Premium GPS Smartwatch with Specialized Tactical Features, Designed to Meet Military Standards

I’m in the army. I run. I lift. I do CrossFit. I swim. I ruck. I use this watch 7 days of the week. If you’re really into fitness this is a great watch. I love how I can track my progress, download training plans or custom runs, etc. This is also a great watch for land navigation which I do frequently. GPS features on this are really good.

This watch keeps disconnecting with my phone, never had a Garmin do that before and I’ve owned a few of them. Did all the trouble shooting and it just keeps disconnecting, very disappointing

Got this a month ago and now I feel I understand it well enough to give a review.

This is going to be a longer review, as i had issues finding the info i wanted on this watch.

This is my second garmin watch, I bought this to replace my Tactix Bravo. I loved the Tactix Bravo, but everything that the bravo was lacking has been upgraded in the delta. The UI is night and day different and more intuitive and efficient. The battery life is phenomenal, on smart watch mode it’ll last 21 days. GPS seems to connect faster than the bravo did. This is important to me as I use GPS functionality for EMS and rescue operations. The watch face is larger, which is a good thing for functionality but a bad thing if you like wearing your watch on the inside of your wrist like I do, I’ve had to start wearing it traditionally due to the size difference. I decided to not get the solar functioning, as it doesn’t actually recharge the watch, but makes the battery last longer. To me, that wasn’t worth the extra cost when a solar battery power bank is an option. I prefer this watch to my Apple Watch in almost every way, other than the App Store interface.

SW is not the best yet, update keeps coming. Overall it is the best outdoor watch by far.

Best watch ever

Great job, The Watch Company! Received in perfect working order. Fast shipping, arrived on time. Works as advertised and within expectation. Read the manual and it is not that difficult to operate. Offline maps with a ton of other functions is paramount in cell phone tower dead space. Tons of storage for most all maps you might need, unless you need the entire world all of the time with hundreds of hours of music. Battery life is much better then most smart watches to date. Most need to be charged nightly or in a few days, this watch can last between 30 and 120 days depending on settings. Shorter of course if you have it running everything all the time. An on board compass is a great feature mixed with elevation. Great all around expedition watch for outdoor enthusiasts. Price point is a bit high, but worth it if you need a watch that doesn’t need a phone, WiFi, and a cell tower near by to get the job done. Comes with both stealth mode and airplane mode. Very useful for those who know anything about technology and for those who don’t. If you want your watch to be your phone buy one from a phone retailer. If you want your watch to be another tool in the tool box for the outdoor experience in any environment, then do your research on this one.

In my opinion, I dont have enough life to deal with all the functions of this watch.

The most advanced smart watch I’ve ever had. Also very durable. I haven’t even used half the features yet. However, it is a large watch so be aware of that.
