Amazing!!!

I’ve had the Tactix 8 for almost a month. Just when I didn’t think Garmin could get any better, they came out with the Tactix 8. It is such an amazing watch. I absolutely love everything about it. It has more than I need but everything I want.

Impressive Exercise System

This watch was purchased after using an Apple Ultra 2 since it was released. I can hardly believe the number of features that the Tactix 8, Solar has over the Ultra 2. The biggest asset to me is the longevity of the battery, to say nothing of how fast it charges when required: I am getting about three weeks on a full charge with news, text, all going to the watch. I am still waiting for some of the features to come alive like endurance, but they warn you there is a time requirement before they kick in. The ECG is very effective and much easier to use. The recognition of a hike or running is impressive. I do not like having to remember to find something on the watch as I step on the treadmill to run an iFit program or to run outdoors. The flashlight is impressive, at least as good as headband led lights I also use for detail tasks. It meshes with the weight scale and the blood pressure monitor, as long as a good WiFi connection exists. I am an impressed user of the Garmin Connect system.

Bought it month ago. The titanium bezel is very scratched, missing watchfaces as in the 7 series…

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.
