This Watch Does It All
on June 25, 2025
Posted by: Marcjvg1544
I have used various smart watches in the past. Being a long-term iPhone user I brought into the hype and used them for years as well. I've tried other competing brands of smart watches i. .e Polar and I believe that overall none compares to the features and function of the Tactix 8 Ambled. It has the most complete availability of health, watch face, and applications for downloading. But for me the best has been the GPS, Map, and ballistic functions. Totally outstanding! Even with my wrist being slightly under 7" I purchased the 51 mm option for the readability of lots of data on the watch face. All in all I am well pleased with my purchase.

Excellent, but not perfect.

While I am not a "Power" user, I do love the functionality and battery life of the watch. The only thing I wish it had was removable spring bars to increase the strap options and make it a solid contender for an all-around everyday dress/tool watch. Then it would be perfect for me.

Watch is top notch

I recently picked up the Garmin Tactix 8, and I have to say—this watch is an absolute beast. Built for tactical use but versatile enough for everyday wear, it’s exceeded my expectations in nearly every category.

It is why I keep coming back for Garmin products. I know they have quality and they back me if there is any issues not that there have been.

Highly recommend

I have been through a lot of different watches with little success of finding exactly what I wanted. Well I can honestly say this watch checks all of the boxes. It is a little pricey but in my opinion worth every cent.

Best option out there

I have owned a lot of watches and this is by far the best. My last one was the Apple Watch Ultra and it is not on par with this watch. I highly recommend this watch for any outdoor enthusiasts and survivalist.
