Recently upgraded from a Fenix 7x Pro to the Tactix 8 AMOLED 51mm. By far the best watch I’ve ever owned. The features, durability, 29 day battery life and beautiful display are perfect!

Nice Upgrade from an Apple Ultra 2
on August 15, 2025
Posted by: PilotPhD
I recently purchased my Garmin Tactix 8 51 mm AMOLED after becoming increasingly frustrated with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 battery life and activity tracking capabilities. I have owned previous generations of the Garmin Fenix watch but switched to the Apple Ultra for compatibility with the Apple ecosystem. Now, with the improved features on the Tactix 8 that accommodate calls and messages, improved screen quality, battery life and broad activity tracking capabilities, I decided to switch back to Garmin. Wow - I am more impressed with the Tactix 8 than I could have imagined. Build quality and feature functionality have come a long way and fit my smart watch needs perfectly. A recent trip through Glacier National Park, training exercises of all types, sleep tracking/coaching, navigation and wearability have been put to the test over the past couple of weeks - what an improvement over past generations of Garmin and the Apple Watch Ultra 2! The watch is expensive but as an active outdoor sports and activity enthusiast the price is worth it. I highly recommend the Tactix 8!

This is not my first Garmin watch. But this watch shows that Garmin has done a great job of improving its products. Lots of new useful and necessary functions. Durability and reliability in operation - that's what you expect from Garmin and you get exactly that!

I hesitated, but I'm happy

I hesitated to upgrade from my Tactix 7 because the reviews I read didn't really make the case to do so. Now I'm glad I did; the Tactx 8 is much more than the 7. There is a certain learning curve although they share many features. I can't do the watch justice because I still have a lot to learn about it. I should be doing a review in another six or seven weeks.
