Amazing upgrade

This watch is great! I love the new AMOLED; Makes the watch feel very premium. I've already put on a few miles with the watch. I wish they came with nato straps though. I see that our European counterparts get them included, why not us in the US?

I bought this watch to replace my instinct 2. So far, it has been amazing. The amoled Screen is unbelievable and can be seen in any setting and the features on the watch are top-tier. Couldn’t have asked for a better upgrade.

Just about a month in and loving it. I’m still on my charge! Replaced the Delta Tactix, so many more options. So far, I love it!

Bought this about a month ago, had the instinct 2 for about 2 years before this. The tactix 8 is an amazing watch. Was just on a 7 day long ski trip (ski'd 70 miles) and it tracks like no other watch. It is just so accurate (it also looks amazing on the wrist). Very excited to use it for turkey and whitetail season this year. Thank you garmin for the great watch.

I mainly upgraded my tactix delta because of the Rucking app. It’s been great! After I turned off a lot of things the battery lasts over 3 weeks. I love it!
