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

This watch is stupid sweet. I wanted it for land nav and my Solar Instinct did not provide maps.

One of the best watches I have ever owned. This is a solid, well designed, and comfortable watch. Yes it is rugged. I do alot of hunting and this has come in handy with compass and mapping features. My line work work is extremely demanding so I have been skeptical if this thing will handle the abuse. It has seen high temp extremely dry conditions. It has seen deep mud and constant rain. It has held up to a few direct metal to lens strikes on the watch face. (Ones that would destroy other watches) It has seen suffering and pain that would break lesser watches... Feature wise its loaded (quick note to those that think they are squeal team 6 material this watch is not for you... DO NOT TAKE IT TO A CLASSIFIED BRIEF, ON OP, OR SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENT... BE SMART PLEASE....) That said it has all features and functions the other Garmin watches have and you can add more from the store. This thing shines with battery life (which can be manipulated by changing active features), durability, and land nav features. Its a great watch. 100% suggest.

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

As far as the watch goes I dont know if its in my head but the display looks sharper than the fenix 6 pro and it also feels faster. I havent had any issues with anything notifications included. Everything my phone receives I get it on this watch including amazon notifications.

bueno

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.

I have had the original Tactix and the Fenix 5X. The Tactix Delta combines what I liked about both into a single piece of equipment.

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

Let’s start with I have had this watch for over a year now. It is very durable looks cool and has a lot of features. I am an athlete so I need to monitor my heart rate when I exercise. This watch is absolutely terrible for that. The sensor on this watch measures blood flow and is not accurate at all. This watch is 900 dollars with some really good features but it’s not worth there price. I talked to garmin about this watch and the so called heart rate monitor and they know how bad it is but they could care less. They offered me a chest heart rate sensor that works with the watch but the biggest reason and selling point for me was the watch heart rate monitor. I don’t understand how a company can get away with selling a product that doesn’t work and they know it doesn’t work but sell it anyway. Hope this helps some of you. Everything else on this watch works great.

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