After owning other Taxtic models I knew this be a excellent choice again. I purchased the 51mm solar and some of the new features are awesome. Like the mic and speaker. No regrets on this purchase.

I like all the new features of the tactics 8-51 mm Solar but the buttons are going to take a little to. Highly recommend Garmin UltraFit Nylon Strap

Good but, Could be better
on March 13, 2025

The Tactix 8 is a overall good watch but, I some complaints on it. First is the buttons, although a small issue, it is a big one at the same time because the buttons feel "spongy" and sometimes not responsive. The touch screen feature helps out alot but, during an activity, the way the buttons are configured this time are subpar to say the least. The responsiveness of past Tactix lines are way better than this. Second, I wish there was more simple watch faces like the previous lines or even a topographic face or background like the fenix 8. Lastly, I wish the flashlight had a red lens instead of a green one. Being in the military, based on my SOPs, I use red lens for all low light activities. I just wish you guys kept the red lens but i understand your reasoning. I just wish there was an opportunity to fully customize the product right from the get go to be beneficial for people in my career field/others as well.

Great watch with tons of features. I have the tactix 8 elite solar and love it!! As a shooter, the ballistics comes in handy and is a great feature.

I have always been a Garmin watch user, and being from the military the Garmin Tactix8 watch brings me back. It's fully functional as an everyday smartwatch with the extra capabilities of standard issue military functions. Overall I love the watch

Tactix 8 and a phoenix.8 solar modules

I bought a month ago a tactics eight solar and a Phoenix eight solar watch and it’s the best. They are the best watches I’ve ever had. They do everything. I bought it to monitor my health and it works great and I like the extra background you can get for that are full of data Richmond
