Great upgrade to the Tactix watch
on July 9, 2025
Posted by: Rotti
I'm only a few weeks into this watch and like the features and upgrade. The solar is great for battery life. The only thing I wish Garmin would upgrade is the manual; something bigger then a matchbook would make it much easier to use.

Perfect watch

Love this watch! I really enjoy the new UI and the look of this watch. Only complaint is the stock watch faces aren’t as good as they were on the 7 series.

Bought this a month ago as a replacement for my apple watch, this is the best watch ever! Everything is just perfect and it looks really cool, I haven’t even charged for the second time yet in this whole month

Love the watch but activities setup

I love the watch but a few areas like the work outs need a easier way to say instead of like end work out then stop workout which should make it save but then you have another step should be like the runs stop/end run then save not an extra step. Because of this I've discarded to many work outs so far. the ballistic calculator works good as long as you have the right equipment to go with. made it easier to sight in at 1000 yards

Please make a 47 solar the 51 mm is too large for most daily

Great upgrade

Moving from a 6x Pro the tactix 8 is a massive upgrade. I am happy with all the new features and the larger format. There is one native activity I really want Garmen to ad. That is a paragliding hike and fly activity. Do that and your the best thing for my wrist.
