Amazing

I’ve tried the Apple Watch 4 different times over the years until the most recent Ultra 2. Hated them all. Figured I’d give this one a shot. I was in love with it in two days.

I spent a lot of time researching for a good watch to handle the ruggedness of what I do daily. I am very pleased with this watch and its features. I haven't gotten to figure everything out just yet, but so far it has shown to be ideal for dependability and the ruggedness I have been looking for.

So far, the amount of features such as the marine and safari-like on Tactix 8 solar and the ease to access them is just extraordinary.

I bought this watch 3 or 4 months ago to replace my Tactix Delta. Love all the features added and well worth the upgrade.

I got this about a month ago, and the watch does what I need and more. I got the Solar Elite worth AB because I enjoy shooting. I would recommend the Tactix 8.

Nice but pricey

I switched from Apple Watch the the tactic 8 elite. Disappointed that the applied ballistics that raised the price a lot will not work on my other garmin devices like my 750i unless i buy it again. I think that’s a waist. It would be like buying Microsoft word and only being able to use it on one computer. Also disappointed in the navigation. I see there is suppose to be an update for google maps but i can’t seem to find it. Don’t know if it’s because i have a iPhone.
Really like the battery life. Had it for one month now and charged it on e because it got to 30%. I work outside in the sun 10-15 hours a day so they solar in nice. It is also a lot more customizable than my Apple Watch. Time will tell if i start liking it more. So far i like everything but the price.
