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

I wanted to get some use out of this before submitting my review. I’ve had this watch for a little over a year now. I do field surveying for a Telephone Company. Part of my job is locating and identifying utility poles and getting GPS coordinates for them. I’ve used a handled unit for years, but as I got older, trying to carry survey stakes, rangefinder, hammer, clipboard, water bottle and other items became too much even using a backpack.

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.

Garmin Over All Trackers - my favorite smartwatch and fitness tracker ever.

Very well made and fit perfectly well. Have all the functionality you needed. Great battery life!
