Garmin Tactix Delta

The watch is positioned as a premium device and represents the Garmin Tactix series, which is designed for military and extreme tourism. The model is based on the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro, but has more advanced features and a rather high price tag.

Army strength

Of course, a gadget for the military cannot be fragile, so the manufacturer paid special attention to durability. The enlarged (compared to its predecessor) 1.4-inch transflective screen is protected by a sapphire crystal and a steel ring around the edges, and the case back is made of steel. The case is complemented by a detachable silicone strap with a classic buckle. The high-quality design complies with the military standard MIL-STD-810 and is not afraid of water and dust - you can safely go swimming in the watch. Since the screen is not touch, 5 buttons on the side are responsible for control.

In addition to durability, a device for use in extreme conditions should have good battery life so that you do not have to look for an outlet and charge the gadget daily. Garmin Tactix Delta has no problems with this: a capacious battery provides up to 3 weeks of work on a single charge in smartwatch mode, or as much as 80 days if you use them as a regular watch to show the time. In addition, there are such modes as GPS (up to 60 hours), GPS with music listening (up to 15 hours), GPS with battery saving (up to 120 hours) and expedition (up to 46 days). Moreover, the system immediately gives a forecast for battery life during settings - so you can change the parameters, increasing battery life.

mission Possible

The model is equipped with Bluetooth, ANT + and Wi-Fi modules, which are responsible for supporting wireless communication, and provides access to several global navigation satellite systems: GPS, GLONASS and Galileo. There's also an altimeter, barometer, electronic compass and indoor and outdoor thermometer, topographic maps for navigation, including maps of 2,000 ski resorts, and colour CourseView maps for over 41,000 golf courses worldwide. But the most interesting thing is the presence of special tactical functions: Jumpmaster mode for skydiving, synchronization of your location with other users, a hidden mode that stops the transmission of GPS coordinates and turns off wireless communication, and an emergency button that deletes all data on the device if necessary. In addition, the watch supports night vision devices.

Athletes were not deprived of attention either, for which there are preloaded activity profiles, animated workouts and various sensors that track heart rate (even in water while swimming), breathing, activity time, sleep and stress levels.

For everyday life

Finally, the model is interesting in that it successfully combines the capabilities of a protected watch and a gadget with smart functions, so it will come in handy not only in the forest, mountains and other wild conditions, but also in civilization. So, when connected to a smartphone, the user will receive incoming calls, messages and application notifications, will be able to store up to 2000 songs, use services for listening to music like Spotify and Deezer, and even pay for purchases through the Garmin Pay contactless payment system.

By the way, the model also has a solar-powered version of the Garmin Tactix Delta Solar.
