The possibilities are endless

There's so much this watch can do that I doubt most of us will even use 80% of the watch. Where you are, where you're going, what's around you? Would you like to disappear like John Wick? Do you need to make a once-in-a-lifetime rifle shot after you jump out of a plane and check all the statistics of your fall? We got you. What to know most things about your physical environment? Even before you leave the house? We got you. My point is anything I want to do and know stats, maps, geo-location, and be generally more informed. This is the watch you want. There are a ton of other features I didn't even bring up. Trust me, this watch is insane

Lots of cool features!

Posted by: Al, jack off all trades
I used to have a Fenix 5, overall it’s a large upgrade in physical size and features. Not sure I like how big it is as I have smacked it into a lot of stuff that I normally wouldn’t get caught on. Features, are great! I like the ability use the maps and the heart rate sensors to to be more accurate. I think some of the touchscreen and other user interface is a little difficult to use. Sample using the touch screen to zoom in and out of maps. Overall, it an awesome watch though!

Love this watch!

I don't like wearing watches but will do so if the watch I'm wearing serves a practical purpose. It has many features that I'm starting to use. I initially purchased it for the fitness and sleep tracking features. It's exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be more pleased with the watch. I don't normally make impulse purchases and this was no different. I've been thinking about the Garmin Tactix ever since my brother showed me the one he bought several months ago. I've had it in a cart on more than one occasion but backed out so that I could do more reading and comparisons with other watches. I wish I would have picked up this watch much sooner. It's a great watch and I'm highly satisfied.
As far as a fitness tracker, calorie counter, etc. is concerned, it's pretty good. No wearable calorie counter is exact and I didn't expect this one to be, either. It's pretty close though and gives me a good idea of where I'm at during my workouts. The main reason I bought this watch is because of the sleep tracker. I don't get much sleep and it's a rare occasion when it's deep and I wake up rested. The Tactix 7 Pro has an app called Connect and it has several features. Sleep Tracker/Score is just the one I'm most interested in. I'll learn more about the other features of the app later. To track my sleep, I've had to wear the watch while sleeping, obviously. Like I said, I don't like wearing watches, rings, etc. so I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about wearing a watch to bed. My first night wearing it, I noticed the watch when I would wake up throughout the night but it wasn't something that woke me up or was uncomfortable. Now, it's not an issue at all. It will track sleep and show me the amount of time I get restful sleep, deep sleep, REM, and periods of wakefulness. I've been looking for a way to improve my sleep and this is going to be a very useful tool for that.
The watch came with two bands, nylon and rubber. It was charged when I picked it up and it kept that original charge for several days. Both bands are sturdy and give me no reason to doubt that they'll stand up to abuse.
I highly recommend the Garmin Tactix Pro. If you make the decision to purchase this watch, you won't regret it.

I usually do not wear watches. The functionality and features are well worth it. I can monitor my stress levels, steps and track my hiking routes. I also like the 2 different wrist bands that it comes with. The only problem I have is to sync the app to my phone just to get the weather report

Battery life is fantastic!
on December 5, 2023

I’ve had this watch for a little over a month. I workout everyday and it’s been a great tool to figure out where I’m lacking especially with the sleep tracking features. It’s really helped me figure out a good routine for me so I feel rested every day. Battery life lasts about two weeks for me and I use the gps for around 2-6 hours in that period. Super happy how they upgraded to the nylon watch bands compared to the older tactix series. Only down side is the cost but I can assure you, you get what you pay for.

Battery does not keep charge
on December 8, 2023
Posted by: Douglas
The battery on my first Tactix 7 Pro died quickly. Garmin performed a test and on my watch. Eventually, the unit was replaced.
The replacement watch's battery started dying out quickly again after about a month. I will attempt to resolve the issue with Garmin and see where things end up.
However, it has not been a good track record. I will follow up this review pending the outcome with Garmin on the replacement watch. 10/4!

This thing is built like a Sherman Tank!
So many features in a watch that it is mind blowing. Price is high, but for what you get and how well it is built, very much worth every penny…go ahead and get yourself one!
