Garmin tactix 8 Tactical Smartwatch 47mm AMOLED Titanium Bezel

The Garmin tactix 8 Tactical Smartwatch 47mm AMOLED Titanium Bezel is a tactical GPS smartwatch built for military, law enforcement and outdoor users, combining a 1.4-inch AMOLED touchscreen behind a scratch-resistant sapphire lens, a titanium bezel and a 40-meter dive rating (approx. 131 ft) with leakproof buttons. It is tested to U.S. MIL-STD-810 for thermal, shock and water resistance and runs up to 16 days in smartwatch mode.

Who it is for

This is the watch for the diver who also trains, navigates and jumps. Scuba and apnea dive activities support gas mixes up to 40% oxygen, covering air and nitrox within that range, while the tactical tool set covers jumpmaster with HAHO, HALO and static jump types, stealth mode, kill switch, dual-position coordinates in MGRS and lat/long, and a rucking activity with pack weight input. Aviators get Direct-To navigation, a nearest airport function and aviation weather such as NEXRAD, METARs and TAFs through a paired smartphone. This variant is the 47 mm case size; the tactix 8 is also offered in 51 mm versions.
